    How can a man with a below-average IQ be a genius?

    I don't know who is better between Floyd and Rigo, but Rigo has the bigger pair of balls.

    i feel like mayweather's shot are much crisper. mayweather also showed killer instinct early in his career, can't say the same for rigondeaux, who fights like a ***** fight after fight.

    Rigo has excellent skills but he seems to adhere yet to his amateur mindset: precise controlled punches that score on the computer and don't give the other boxer like opportunities. It's got him through nearly 300 amateur bouts. Maybe Rigo just doesn't buy into the idea that he needs to excite the paying public when on the pro scene; he's had a whole career where that never mattered.

    Nah...he is not. They are not the same fighter. I like them both for their respective skillsets.

    1. Rigo is the better technical boxer
    2. Rigo is better because he wants to fight anyone
    3. Rigo is better in putting the viewers to sleep

    so yes he is better than floyd.

    I am not saying the TS is right but I am not sure how anyone can say their styles are nothing alike, clearly they are very similar. If you're going to dispute the thread starter than at least make sense.

    I'm not sure if he's a better version but this sport is all about proper management and promotion. You could be the most skilled and physically gifted athlete in the world, without the right promotion and management guiding you to public recognition you're as good as nothing.
