    Rigo by UD. Pacquiao at 122 didn't have the power to get Rigo.

    Based on what we saw ONLY AT THAT WEIGHT CLASS, I'd go with Rigondeaux.

    However, knowing what I know about how great Pacquiao actually was he likely would have amassed a much more impressive resume at 122 had he taken on more challenging fights. He really only fought 2 big name guys there in terms of what is relevant to use against a guy like Rigondeaux for comparison; Ledwaba and Agapito and only fought on even terms with Agapito (yes I've seen the fight many times, I'm well aware they both fought amazingly dirty especially Agapito).

    Aside from Agapito, he stopped all 10 of his other opponents at 122. And he stopped them all early on. I think Pacquiao would have a good chance to outright KO Rigondeaux, but I'd have to pick Rigondeaux by wide UD as his style is a nightmare for any version/year/weight Pacquiao.

    id go with rigo at 122. if rigo faced the monster pacquiao at 140 id favour pacquiao... i think rigo could make him look silly like he made donaire but i think pacquiao at 140 had that scary power that he surely would get him with sooner or later

    also i dont think rigos fast sharp counters would make pacquiao go as gunshy as donaire did

    pac would dismantle rigo's face if rigo go toe to toe. Pac can compete with rigo's speed in this weight class unleashing his unpredictable combo but if rigo just do the hit and run type of game he may have a chance to win on score card and frustrate pacquaio

    Let's say Pacquioa manages to land a clean shot, would that stop Rigondeaux? :think

    rigo is slightly overrated on here, his chin would be tested by manny.

    pac is a great come-forward fighter unlike donaire,

    Shoot yourself in the face if you choose glass jaw rigo.
    That glass jaw would get destroyed as soon as that left lead lands..

    Rigo wins all day long on the counter, pacman dont like counter punchers especially someone as good as Rigo.

    the stupidity is crazy here, pac is an ATG, even at that weight he was great, pac late tko in a competitive fight, Rigo hasn't faced anyone who could bring it like pacquiao

    Doubt Rigo's Chin would hold up. He would be forced to actually fight also instead of throwing 20 punches a round.
