Rate Mayweather and Rigondeaux boxing skills 1-10

I'm not going to break down everything, but defense I give Edge to Floyd. Floyd when on the inside, can dictate what the other fighter does. He protected himself when they're on the break. He'll either slip out under the way, or he'll distance himself by using his arm. Rigo just tries to move back and is more vulnerable to get caught with a punch.

lol I think 10's are a little extreme. Especially for speed that would mean nobody is faster lol

Simply, I was comparing their last fights: Rigo vs Donaire and Mayweather vs Cotto. If you think that Rigo vs Donaire was the best Rigo's fight in his career, you don't know nothing about Rigo. How can you say that Rigo vs Donaire was the Rigo's best fight? LOL!!! If you think that Mayweather vs Cotto is the worse Mayweather's fight so you don't know nothing about Mayweather. Anyway, you can compare other two fights, the "worse" Rigo's fight (vs Cordoba) and the good victory of Mayweather vs De La Hoya. Any way I insist: Rigo receives a lot less than Mayweather, watch all the videos that you want. I also add: Rigo has a lot more power, on both hands, than Mayweather. Because Nonito was his only credible opponent, and he dominated. That is his best performance. Not some domination he did against a bum. And Floyd vs Oscar was also a fight where Floyd got touched. But Floyd was horrible against Cotto. Im gonna compare Floyd vs JMM to Rigo vs Donaire. Those are both fighter's best performances. And I think that Rigo has less power than Floyd. Rigo dropped some bums. But he couldnt really hurt Nonito who was his only elite opponent. Floyd has been able to hurt a bevy of elite fighters.

Mayweather Hand speed = 10 Power = 9 Offense = 10 Defense = 10 Footwork = 10 Reflexes = 10 Boxing IQ = 10 Counter punching = 10 Durability = 10 Overall = 89 Rigondeaux Hand speed = 10 Power = 8 Offense = 9 Defense = 8 Footwork = 10 Reflexes = 9 Boxing IQ = 10 Counter punching = 10 Durability = 8 Overall = 82

No I wont compare an aged Mayweather in his worst fight, against Rigo in his best fight LOL. I compare Rigo vs Donaire, to Floyd vs Juan. Most people already have. Floyd, like you said prior, is the much more superb fighter. There is no defensive fighter like Floyd. Rigo is great too.

:rofl: ! where on earth did you find that? it looks like a made for TV movie :rofl: They played it during one of the round breaks in the Nishioka fight. There was a deathly silence after it finished from the HBO crew.

http://i.minus.com/i6Ayiq2c2TmAc.gif Fixed that for you! :rofl::rofl: Someone should do a GIF starting with the face off with Nonito pointing to his eyes, then Rigo landing his left hand and then Nonito crying after.

:rofl: ! where on earth did you find that? it looks like a made for TV movie :rofl: It was a trailer from his movie. I found it on YT lol

Another one of these threads? At least this one has lists but people put up comparisons on the other 100 threads of this...Mayweather is the superior fighter, and the more proven fighter by a landslide in the pros. It's that simple.

Hope your point of view on Rigo will go changing insofar that you can see more Rigo's fights. Of course Mayweather is a superb fighter. Rigo can throw any kinds of punches from unimaginable positions. Luckily we are in the video age, so we can see his professional fights and some videos from his amateur career. Rigo has more fighting expericence than any other present fighter. I'm following Rigo's boxing career since he was 18 years old. In his early years he was throwing a lot of punches but now he is in a superior level. At present, Rigo economizes punches, he only throws punches to make real damage. About his defensive tecniques: only say that Rigo receives a lot less than Mayweather. You can compare Rigo vs Donaire with Mayweather vs Cotto, for example No I wont compare an aged Mayweather in his worst fight, against Rigo in his best fight LOL. I compare Rigo vs Donaire, to Floyd vs Juan. Most people already have. Floyd, like you said prior, is the much more superb fighter. There is no defensive fighter like Floyd. Rigo is great too.

the gun. you guys are jumping it. floyd mayweather is one of the greatest boxers of all time. rigondeaux is one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time. he has one pro win worth mentioning.

I'd have Rigo slightly higher too.

im glad to see im not thr only one who thinks rigos offense is very one dimensional and overrated.....left hand is all he has to work with..straight left or upper left....there pretty much tje same on everything else
