      With last nights performance I am going to put it out there that Rigondeaux is probably the most skilled boxer to ever step into the ring.

      We just saw a 32 year old fighter on the downside of his prime dismantle a top 5 p4p fighter in his prime.

      I am not saying he is unbeatable, he still has to prove that against a fighter who can take his punches and is willing to eat them to deliver their own like a Roberto Duran, but skill wise I think it can now be argued that he is without equal.

      The closest I can think of is maybe Pernell Whitaker, but Rigo is equally slick, is better at controlling the pace of fights, and is more precise with his punches.

      • Wow, I missed some things.

        Today I learnt that beating Nonito Donaire is the eqivelant of beating Sugar Ray Leonard and Julio Cesar Chavez

          • I won't go into all thirty pages, but Rigo is highly skilled. But his skills on full display over a long haul, he unfortunately doesn't cut it and probably won't.

            Overall, just in terms of modern greats, I'd place him behind the following:

            Bernard Hopkins; Ivan Calderon; JMM; Pretty Boy Floyd;

            Just to name a few. These guys proved their skills over the long haul, not just one fight
