    I agree his chin is questionable, but this is the wrong example to use. That was a flash knockdown. They tangled up and Donaire threw a hard shot that knocked him off balance. Didn't hurt him at all.

    To be fair he got caught with a huge counter right hand. That sounded like a KO punch even with the headgear.

    Multi-punch combinations a glaring imperfection do to the lack of its use.

    Still, a terrific fighter.

    Wait until he faces an aggressive fighter and he will tee off on him.

    I'd ask for more power, speed, aggressiveness, heart, and ambition but Rigo does have more ability than almost everyone else in the game right now.

    Outside of that one jab, when did Cordoba hit Rigondeaux? Outside of the two hooks when did Marroquin hit Rigondeaux?

    You don't eat flush shots from Donaire and keep doing your thing unless you have a chin.

    A guy 5 inches taller and 10 pounds heavier? I still doubt it.

    Are you kidding after 475 amateur fights and 14 pro do you know how many aggressive fighters this guy has faced you saw what he did to a hard puncher Nonito who paid for been too aggressive see the rest of the champions they don't even mention his name also he's been calling everybody from 122 to 126 and willing to go anywhere to fight.

    Everything you wrote could be said about Joe Calzaghe.
    Even power, when his hands were healthy.
    Plus Joe was a thrill a minute. :deal

    Morales and Barrera are proved bad-asses. They would walk Rigo down.
