Donaire is a better win than Floyd has on his resume.

    And what's better is Rigo, like Whitaker, isn't a money making fighter. And he appears like he is not willing to sell his soul to the devil like Floyd did, in order to generate money in a life that is like vapor in the grand scheme of things.

    This means, they don't need to carefully match Rigo like they do Floyd because Rigo will never be a big time money generator.

    You have to understand, Floyd generates hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions of dollars. You can't let him lose. That's why he's fighting a guy like Guerrero and sat on the side lines waiting for everybody else to get beat.

    This is also why an old Cotto that took numerous beatings of a life time gave Floyd all he could handle and made him look like he was gonna cry at one point.

    Rigo doesn't have to do this. He can fight Mares next or Moreno or even Garcia.

    I'm guilty of underrating Rigo because I felt like he wasn't trying to fight anyone based on his resume, but after last night's performance, I wouldn't argue against him being PFP #1. Brilliant performance.

    Anyway, at the end of the day, Coralles is a great win, but Donaire is better.

    Nothing wrong about being a money making fighter.

    Most of the best fighters where.



    But I agree, Rigo has the best win if you compare him to FMJ

    Although, Mayweathers resume is much much deeper and overall alot better. Rigo has time to make it up though.

    I agree.

    A win over Donaire is much better than any win that Floyd has.

    Agreed. Floyd could have done things like this, but that 0 was just too important.

    Special or not but he is a P4P top 10 fighter and Rigo just beat him in his 12th fight.
    In his 12th professional bout Rigo won a lineal belt and is now the champ of his division.

    Donaire is definitely a better scalp than any of Floyd's. Floyd doesn't have a top P4P opponent on his resume.

    unfortunately for Rigo, your resume isnt based on one fight.

    Buster Douglas has a bigger win than Floyd too.

    Leon Spinks has a bigger win than Floyd.

    etc etc etc

    This is one of the dumbest statements I have read today. Rigo, like mayweather coming up, will have to fight the best fighters available to make the MOST MONEY possible. this will also build a brand and make him more marketable to make even more MONEY. These guys do not fight for fun they fight for MONEY. As a supporter of Rigo I hope you do not want to see him die homeless and poor like so many other fighters before him or perhaps he could bring his little guy to the states? point is don't hate the player hate the game, and for Rigo to survive in life he has make as much money as possible in the short time he has in the ring. I wish he would take a page from Floyd and draw some attention to himself so he can make as much money as possible.

    this was a great but floyd has had a few that was comparable
