But the funny thing is, and I'm a huge Rigondeaux fan, had Mayweather fought someone like Agbeko, he'd have gotten NO CREDIT no matter how good he looked. Agbeko was basically coming off two losses, moving up in weight, and coming off like a 2 year layoff (he had that one fight back in February against that nobody I guess). I mean if Floyd fights something like that, basically something like a Khan fight, he'd get NO CREDIT. So Rigondeaux looked good against Agbeko, but I mean it's not counted as a solid win for me.

If only Rigo would've turned pro earlier. It's tough being Cuban. All these fighters are would've/could've.
The only problem with this analysis is it compares Floyd fighting at 147/154 this far into his career to Rigo fighting at his natural weight. GRanted, Rigo could be 85 yrs old for all we know.
A more valid comparison would be to floyd at 130/135. Below 140 floyd is 31-0 and 21KO's, (80% of his total KO's), above 140 14-0, 5 KO's.
Or let me guess, it's the roids?

At this rate, Rigo will never be able to find any opponents. Agbeko was so bad his trainer wanted to fire him.

People act like Floyd didn't bring the heat at his first weight class, probably because they weren't watching the sport in 98'.

All I was simply pointing out was how Rigo completely shutdowns his opponents. And how quickly he does it.
Even in the Donaire fight, he set the tone in the first round when he told Donaire "Im faster and hit harder than you."
He simply didn't show any intimidation despite being referred to as the chinny fighter.
