This thread starter obviously doesnt know anything about how to judge skills, and boxing in general. A real list would be: 1) Rigo 2) Floyd 3) Ward 4) Wlad 5) JMM 6) Hopkins 7) Cotto/ Pacquiao
Yes, Broner has to be ahead of Rigondeaux. Rigo gets put on his ass every other fight. And this is coming from someone who likes Rigondeaux. When Broner is Rigondeauxs age he will be on the verge of being an ATG.
lol Wlad has no wrestling skills (takedowns/ground control/pinning). He does however clinch like a scared coward. Comparing him to other defensive fighters like Mayweather or even Marquez is pretty silly. Those guys rarely hold and there defenses put them both in position to punch. When Wlad uses defense it is to avoid pressure and wait for a break so he can be given his range back. His style almost requires 3rd man intervention to be effective. It is possible that in the US he might be DQ'd for excessive holding.
just because people get knocked down doesn't mean they're not skilled. Look at marquez's punch technique and combos- textbook. not to mention his placement and accuracy and underrated footwork. He's well above gamboa and broner. and rigo is top 3 for sure, with wlad at 5
