Could Rigondeaux beat Malignaggi @ 147?

bump.......

people never would have thought pac could be succuessful at 147. rigo can atleast beat paulie who isnt a real 147 pounder anyways and has no power he would beat him pretty easy actually. paulie fights with his hands low and makes a lot of mistakes. lol paulie is a welterweight now, just not a real welterweight punch at all

Even with the weight difference? :hitit: I think Rigo would beat half the 147 pounders I bet he beats Broner who was beaten by a 122 pounder already

Just because Rigo wont fight at 147 and this fight wont happen, doesn't mean Rigondeaux couldn't win it. Size is very important but this is the perfect match up for Rigo.

This reminds me of the Ivan Calderon matchups. Lol. Seriously though... If Paulie came in light and didnt rehydrate and rigo didnt have to worry about making weight (as if he does but whatever) id favor Rigo to be honest... Rigo probably hits harder than Paulie though paulie has more mass behind his... Then again rigo is SIGNIFICANTLY faster. Think amir looked fast? Imagine how fast someone like Nonito or rigo would seem. Rigo might not be able to stop paulie but it would still keep him off and you never know... Some counters to the body or face with his kind of snap could hurt many. Still... Paulie is no idiot and would likely body him all night if he can and just throw 30 more jabs than rigo and decision him. Id still favor rigo lol. I dont know why I just dont envision paulie beating him. :/.... Weird

LOL. Look at this **** man. This is Pacquiao, a midget in his own right. Freddie Roach didn't even let them spar because Rigo was too small. http://ringtalk.com/wordpress/http://ringtalk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/images-72.jpeg

if he could, he would. they do this to make money, and the money at WW is a hell of a lot better than the crap at 122. you guys are pretty dumb sometimes.

LOL. Rigo doesn't have the frame for 147. Look at that pic with him standing next to Pacquiao. Pac is a small welterweight and looks gigantic compared to Rigo. I think 135 is the highest weight where I can see him challenging a belt holder.

Pac use to fight at 130 and come into the ring at 145 pounds on fight night. Its not the same at all. Pac was blistering and stopping guys at the lower weights with mad power

Probably,,,, Rigo would eat him alive with counters off pauli's jab

With a 30lb weight advantage Paulie, who already has a strong chin, wouldn't even feel the punches. This is a ridiculous scenario.I think not the weight so much (nonito out weight him by almost 20 lbs) but his size and skills will be the difference, although GR was kicking some JWW-WW a$$es in sparring paulie is very skillful and tallest.

This thread is too much even for RiGODeaux. Just because Paulie doesn't SEEM top notch, have we not learned enough about the guy? Paulie's power would be BIG against Rigo and Paulie doesn't have quit in him and his IQ is considerably above average. He WILL be landing on Rigo and stopping him with his right hands. This thread can't be good if the truth contains Paulie Malignaggi stopping someone.

Robert Garcia - "Rigondeaux would school some welterweight champions." Marroquin is same height as Malignaggi not a great deal 'smaller' in build. If Roy Jones could win a Heavyweight title vs hand picked opponent, Rigod could do same here. http://www.toprank.com/uploaded_files/images/photo/l/l_8f682702a7a1bca59bed3340177b2100Rigondeaux_Marroquin_%20undercard%20PC_120913_001a.jpg and Chico is taller than Tyson. Doesnt mean Floyd has any chance against Mike

Rigo puts him to sleep.

Sorry to bring out a tired cliché, but they have weight divisions for a reason. Easy win for Paulie. Agree, ridiculous thread.

Why does everyone always pick on paulie?

Rigo would either look like a Pro body builder or a fat fk being 147 so either way he would have no chance XD. Any new word on Gamboa? Its obvious that Arum wont allow the Garcia fight to happen. Almost feel bad for him. Wish he wouldve stuck with Floyd instead of 50. If Ishe is getting a ton of fights then I know Floyd wouldve had the pull to make Gamboa major. Met him before. I couldnt speak the language but he was very cool and took pics with me and my girl so Ill always root for him because of that (even though I was a fan of his anyways)
