Who is the best Cuban Gamboa or Rigondeaux?

Rigo hasn't fought the quality fighters Gamboa has. Their styles couldn't be more different. Rigo tho is by far the more cerebral. Hasnt been tested like Gamboa has so we don't know how he'll handle getting rocked or knocked down. I'd say Rigo better boxer Gamboa better fighter.

 

Rigondeux is better. He has better defense, and better all around boxing skills. He is just as fast as Gamboa, just as powerful, but slicker.

 

Very tough one to call. EL Chacal looks to be better schooled and technicaly better, but that is probably because he has not been tested in the manner Gamboa has. Gamboa has accomplished more as a pro, that's not to say Rigon can't surpass him. But as of now I'll pick Gamboa for having the better resume.

 

I guess you missed when Cordoba punched Rigo and he went down and then proceeded to run and win on points.

 

Rigondeaux . Peace .

 

The OP asked who is the 'best'. Best technically is Rigo easily. Best in excitement/competition is Gamboa.

 

Rigo by far IMO.

 

gamboa impresses me more

 

Gamboa....he's got more fire....Rigo's better technically but hasn't the shown the heart/determination/will of an elite champ and he's only getting older and fighting nobodies before we know it he'll be 36 and retired with a record of 14-1 or some **** vs virtually nobody of importance. Gamboas on the fast track to top 5 p4p, I doubt we'll ever see rigo there.

 

I voted both
