    Gamboa never beat Rigondeaux,

    Barthelemy beat Gamboa all the time (surprisingly)

    Rigondeaux only lost 4 amateur fights while having close to 300 of them,

    the last guy to ever beat him was Aghasi Mammadov (Azerbaijan) who beat him 13-16, but in the 2004 Olympics when it really mattered Rigondeaux outclassed him beating him 14-5

    People should understand that not a lot of fighters in Rigo's weight class are willing to step in the ring with him.

    When i first saw the 3 that defected around that time i always thought Barthelemy would be the best one. His skills were great. The pop wasnt all there but he had enough along with good countering skills. He was my type of fighter then he just disappeared.

    Because since Rigo won his first Gold at the 2000 Olympics he never lost to anyone after that except only to Aghasi Mammadov in the 2003 World Championships. So, Rigo only has 1 loss at the International amateur stage against Mammadov who he later avenged the loss by beating him easily! ;)
