We already knew he was probably the best Amateur boxer of all time.
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.
