    I see him struggling most with John and Salido, the more tested and proven of the bunch at 126. The rest I think would fall to Rigo. Mikey tho young, would be game, but soundly beaten and humbled by Rigo in a UD or stoppage. Rigo uses all tools he has to its maximum and he's very sly. He'd expose Mikey right now. Salido knows his limits by now, but he won't be phazed or intimidated by Rigo. If anyone can beat, expose, or even ko Rigo its Siri. John if he still has it can be a very difficult fight for Rigo. 50-50 vs Siri or John. Gonzalez is one that is a hot and cold fiighter like Terry Norris where he can let all hell loose and on certain nights look unbeatable. It wouldn't shock me if he upset any elite whether it was Rigo, Nonito, Siri, or even Nishioka in a rematch. Carried his power well, tho needs to work on his defense.

    Love to see GRJ take on Rigo.

    I also see Siri giving problems to Rigo with his relentless pressure. Rigo would win the early rounds but we've never seen Rigo handle that kind of pressure.

    he beats johnny gonzales

    he beats mikey garcia

    he beats orlando salido...

    his hardest times comes against cabellero and john because they box and move a lot...but i believe he can beat them both.

    What a boxer did in the amateurs is very important. You see, Rigo was not just " a good amateur ", he was P4P #1 for his entire amateur career where he fought the best of the best the World had to offer and BEAT THEM ALL.

    He only lost " 1 " match at the World level ( which was pretty close ) but later avanged that loss and beat that guy pretty easily. Let's remember that amateur boxing is not very different than pro boxing, the main difference is more stamina ( for more rounds ) and no head gear. But when it comes to technique, both amateur and pro boxing are brothers. ;)

    Rigondeaux is a seven-time (2000–06) Cuban national champion at bantamweight. He currently claims an amateur record of nearly 400 fights with twelve losses; with his last losses coming to Rencise Perez and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekzat_Sattarkhanov"]Bekzat Sattarkhanov[/ame] in 1998, Waldemar Font in 1999, and his most recent loss against [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aghasi_Mammadov"]Aghasi Mammadov[/ame] in 2003.

    He only lost once to Mammadov after he became Olympic Champion in 2000 and he later avenged that one, the other two loses you mentioned was when he was around 16-17 years old in Cuba. ;)
