Hamed built up this aura. This undeniable huge mystique. The massive, incredible, jaw dropping power with insane reflexes, unorthodox style and flair. Then it was squashed by a well schooled boxer, puncher, swarmer, body puncher. A purely and genuinely special great offensive fighter. Rigo had the same aura. His fans for years bitched and moaned about the greatest fighter in the world being shut out of the sport due to cowardice from the competition. Rigo's reputation was that he was the ultimate boogeyman destined to make everybody miss every punch they threw and embarrass them. He walked on water to his fans in the media and on internet boards. But he quit. He's not great, he's just good. He never was great. His mystique is gone and his career is finished. He was taken to school by a well trained boxer, body puncher, inside fighter, aggressor and genuinely special offensive fighter. Rigo had nothing to offer because he doesn't have the skill. He never did. If he had the skill he wouldn't have been so damn boring in his career. And he would have been busier. But he doesn't have the skill to be a great offensive fighter or even a great fighter period. Because offense takes more skill than defense which he never had.
