Floyd's fight vs Alvarez was ok to watch
Rigo's fight with Nonito was boring as fuck
both won and deserve props for outboxing their opponent
but Floyd managed not to put viewers to sleep
Its pretty easy to answer this one!
Money moved when he needed, Rigondeaux moved because he didnt want to engage unless he had to. Over the years Floyd moves to avoid bad positions, but will stand in the pocket and pick you apart, Rigondeaux isnt there and my guess never will be.
These two guys are in two totally different league's.
No, Floyd landed more punches in the first half than Rigo threw the entire fight he can only do one thing while Floyd is way more versatile and has no real holes , difference if Donaire lands a punche here and there in the round he'd have won a lot more while Canelo was no where near a couple punches from winning rounds the level of offensive capability isn't that closeDonaire>ginger and that's all I have to say.
Mayweather stayed in the pocket more, simple as that. Both were dominating performances but Mayweather chose to do it in a casual-fan-friendly way. You have to mention that ginger is not the fighter nonito is, so just in quality Rigondeaux performance is much better than FMJ if we comparing adversaries.

Wasn't Rigondeux chasing Donaire towards the end of the fight? If anyone was trying to make it a fight it was Rigo, Donaire felt Rigo's power and started running. lol
Not sure why people started pretending Rigo was a boring fighter after the Donaire fight. The guy is a master boxer who knows how do damage; Donaire was the only guy he didn't drop.
Folks who call rigondeaux boring don't appreciate great boxing
Go watch bumfights if u wanna see stupid swinging for the fences type fights
Why can't you appreciate great "boxing" (in the sense of potshotting, countering etc) but find it more boring than a slugfest? I don't understand your view
I'm pretty sure nearly everyone appreciates a pure boxer, but just because they find it boring doesn't mean they are any less of a fan...
Great post btw, aesthetically speaking there is not much of a difference between what Floyd and Rigo do inside the ring, although Floyd D*ck Riders would rather you think their styles are night and day. The thing is that Floyd is the best self salesman in sports today and has sold what may seem like a boring boxing style to casual boxing fans into a proverbial puzzle or rubix cube; "Who will be the 45th victim to fail at cracking the Mayweather puzzle? With this tactic, he has taken a style that many perceive as boring and made people appreciate the skill and art of the sweet science. Hit and don't get hit. Even with a similar style and skill, Rigo is a Cuban who only speaks Spanish and cannot sell himself outside the ring to the American public the same way Mayweather or Broner can. Unfortunately that's the nature of the business.
in another words, they are some idiots hat buy anything...
Night and Day wasn't even close in how each fought, Donaire is certainly more accomplished however Floyd was more dominant and actually was offensive every round
Floyd is light years better than Rigo
Absolutely correct.
Rigo has 1 quality win,has been down multiple times, and is a KTFO waiting to happen.:boxing::boxing::boxing:
Your contrast is too extreme. Light years better? Quit being ridiculous.
Floyd and Rigo are very similar. Both defensive minded, both about countering, both about winning the round.
There are subtle differences in their styles, sure. But let's not forget who was a more formidable opponent. Donaire > Canelo.

in other words if you wanted mayweather to lose it was a boring fight well no **** i could of told you that
Don't worry, Floyd's next fight would bomb, then the next... until he retires. Showtime would be too stupid to spend millions of dollars in them.
dont worry? you say it as tho your mad he had a big ppv he dominated in dont worry wow this says it all. dont worry about what? then you will have a reason to hate on mayweather cause it was a clean sweep this past fight?
