    If Leo had fought prime Rigondeaux without ducking, who would have won?

    Prime Rigo was a beast.

    Rigo.

    Too fast, sharp, and hard-hitting for Leo's more volume-centric approach.

    Rigo toys with him. There's a reason LSC wanted no part of Rigo.

    There's a reason lsc and Frampton wanted no part of rigo. High risk low reward

    LSC was damn good but Rigo would beat him with his eyes closed

    LSC would not lay a glove on prime Rigo. Prime Rigo was untouchable- only reason he was beaten was because he was forced to move up weight for bigger fights

    Rigo smokes him in a embarrassing fight where you really feel bad for LSC.

    Rigondeaux was far too skilled for Santa Cruz.

    Like Loma, I think Rigo is an underachiever in the pro ranks.

    Rigo was avoided and then during fights his opponents avoided engaging him knowing they are getting counterpunched every time.

    It would actually be worse than how Rigo dominated Donaire.

    Rigo would take LSC down to Chinatown and roast his ass like Peking duck
