    lol.....so being able to adjust is a flaw now? I dont care how great you are, other guys are good too, have trained their whole lives, and also make big bucks. Some people are going to take things from you because everyone has different strengths but if you are great then you can make an adjusment and even do so on the fly. Thats what Floyd does and that is in no way a flaw. Thats one of the if not thee biggest strength you can have

    Are you ******ed he never said ad******g is a flaw he is saying he needs to adjust because his skill set is not as good as Rigo's.

    if one fighter is so good that he never needs to change how he fights and the other needs to make adjustments who has the better skills ?

    and youre not factoring in Floyd fighting in 5 division and being outweighed by a ton in some fights. You think that has nothing to do with having to adjust? If he fights at 154 he will be 4 pounds under the limit on fight night. You dont think thats a huge disadvantage that Rigo hasnt had to experince?

    I've never really been amazed by mayweather the way I have been with rigo a few times. He's truly a phenom imo. But things like that can often be misleading, relative to opposition.

    But in terms of greatness, there are a lot of intangibles that make mayweather great. Its hard to say if rigo will equal those.

    Of course Mayweather demonstrates how good he is by fighting at 154 and even being under that limit. Also, it's not right to bring that "5th division" thing because Rigo is 33 years old and he isn't growing anymore. It's not the same case, I don't know why are you bringing that up. Floyd was 20 years old when he started, it's natural to move a couple of divisions up through the career, especially in the lower divisions in pro boxing where it's usual for boxers to keep fighting on a certain weight until they can't make it anymore. Rigondeaux is at his maximum weight at 122, there is no moving up for him.

    And this looks to be way off topic and doesn't actually have much to do with their comparison from the technical aspect of view. I never said that Floyd's ability to adjust is a flaw. I said that Rigo doesn't need to adjust because there isn't anyone who can bring the gameplain to cause him troubles because of the combination of skills and style he possesses, therefore at the end of the day he ends up schooling boxers regardless of which style they bring to the table.

    What would ever make you think that Floyd is technically inferior to Rigo when Rigo has not faced the types of tests that Floyd has, lmao?

    Please. As Rigo's comp gets better, he will have to adjust in fights. Every boxer on this planet past and present has had to adjust in a fight. Rigo had to adjust when he was put down, and not even by Donaire, so what are you even talking about?

    There are flaws in Rigo's game. There are flaws in every last fighter fighting, but exposing those flaws is the hard part. Those flaws lead Rigo to the canvas where people question Rigo's chin where as Floyd has been wobbled but never put on the canvas.
