That guy has a biscuit chin stop talking nonsense. It's just that he has incredible defence, footwork and reflexes. Everytime I've seen this mofo knocked down it was by some weak looking punch, Amagasa is not a puncher at all and literally tapped him and he went down, and the second one he barely had anything on the punch and he floored him.
Stop making excuses like Khan fans do and accept your God is not perfect, he has a sandcastle chin.
Rigo has ONE good win. ONE.
I'll say it again... Rigo has ONE win. And delusional Rigotards thought this guy was unstoppable and the next P4P king.... Lmfao.
The Jap literally crushed the souls of the most delusional fanbase on NSB. The Rigotards.
Dude got dropped by a random Mexican goat cheese producer and a random Japanese fighter who has NEVER fought outside of Japan and lost 4 times to no-name random bums.
Lmfao. Rigo is such a hypejob.... Jesus. I can't stress this enough. He has ONE win and got dropped by two random fighters. :rofl: :rofl:
No, he has one very good win. For some reason his wins over the likes of Cordoba and Agbeko get slept on. I'm not saying they are amazing fighters but those were good wins against solid contenders.
You guys act like he has fought Gary Russell-esque competition other than Donaire.
Worse than his chin...he looked sloppy! That Japanese guy was slow and clumsy yet he posed problems. Seems like the deal to get at Rigo is to smother him and throw punches in bunches.
Firstly, since when has that been the definition of good defence?
Was young Ali's defence not that good?
secondly:
Angles, distance, timing/counterpunching, headmovement, rhythm, reactions all go into making Rigo very difficult to hit.
His problem is he sometimes loses concentration (most of the time when hes winning too easily) and gets tagged, but for the most part his defence is exceptional.
Sorry Weebler, but his defence is actually that good
Yes. The guy wanted to put up some show, in order to please the public, and now (all of a sudden) he's "chinny", "he's got flaws in his defence", doe... (Well... I remember that during the Agbeko fight I fell to sleep...) :)
Rigo's defense like Lara's is not actually that good, they just use their legs to get out of the way. They couldn't sit in the pocket or on the ropes and avoid shots.

... "The best chin in the sport is the chin that doesn't get hit", they say...
Sometimes, southpaws get caught quite badly... That doesn't make them "glass chined"...
(Rigo was too relaxed and "show-oriented" in this one... and got caught. Donaire also caught him...)

What type of opposition where a lot of these fighters you guys are comparing Rigo against facing when they were 7, 9 or 12 fights into their careers?
Don't worry I'll wait. The only one that faced good opposition so early was Lomachenko and he got beat up by Salido. People pretend like Lomachenko is undefeated, he's already tasted defeat in the pros.
Yes he has before... what's your point...
The masses of people on here aren't selling Wladimir as the GOAT although in comparison to Rigo he certainly must be.
Breaking news.
According to the pound for pound rankings published by the Ring (the bible of boxing, or so reads their logo) Mr Wladimir Klitschko is number 2 pound for pound.
Rigondeaux is number 6 on the same list.
So, yes, people are saying that Wladimir is still better than Rigo in spite of being knocked out by journeymen in the past.

How many loses are in Rigo record?
Have Rigo ever looked bad like Mayweather looked vs Castillo or Maidana?
How many opponents has Rigo fought that were as good as a prime Castillo?
I ain't saying I'm a Floyd fan but I'll stand up for him on that instance, yes I thought Floyd lost that first fight with a great version of Castillo which caught Floyd out but the fact of the matter is Rigo hasn't fought anywhere near the same quality.

But does he? He's had a dozen fights and been flat on his back a few times already.
Floyd has had 47 fights, a lot of them top level title fights against big punchers and big names and never been dropped in the fashion Rigondeaux has. That is an amazing defence, even if you hate Floyd, that fact cannot be denied. Rigondeaux isn't on that level.
Then tell him to fight Lara the number 1 contender or GGG instead of flat footer slow fighters.
And tell Floy to stop cherry picking and picking opponent gloved.
BTW Floy got Rocked badly by same size fighter in Mosley and was holding the arms to save him for touching the canvas and had chicken leg the rest of the round.
Yep he definitely don't react well, he just gets back up in less that 2 sec and brake opponent faces.
Did Wlad get up and finish his opponents after being knockdown?
Yes he has before... what's your point...

Like someone else said, If it was GGG who was KD by an unknown, untested fighter we'd never hear the end of it...
They'd have a gif thread for it, personal meme thread as well.
What's fair is fair, he was hurt by a guy he should never have been, not unless you're all agreeing you've overrated him?
He definitely has a glass jaw. Kind of like wlad klitchko. You can tell they don't react well to getting hit on the chin.
Fortunately for rigo he has an amazing defense.

Did you guys see the punch that Rigo got dropped by. The dude literally turned his upper body and threw a right cross. Didn't put his hips into the punch, didn't even move his legs. He literally threw an arm punch and dropped Rigo lol.
:rofl: :rofl: exactly! I knew he had a bad chin when I seen that small head. Rigo's head is tiny, small head = sandcastle chin.

Definition of a hype job homie. Apparently having a decorative amateur background and being from Cuba really gets the hipsters d*ck hard around here.
Meanwhile thUs guy is getting floored 4-5 times in his first 15 pro fights.
He's literally fought nobody. And everyone is on his nutsm they have to see his fights on You tube just to keep up with his career. Dudes a cream puff.
Yep, you got it.
First knockdown is legit,the second one is a push. So now anyone who has ever been dropped it a bum? Tell that **** to tyson,ali,frazier,bhop,lennox lewis,julio cesar chaves sr,george foreman,roy jones,oscar delajoya,shane mosley,JOE CALZAGE,manny pacquiao,sugar ray,thomas hearns,both klitschko brothers,and joe lewis. and wait,lets not forget,floyd mayweather got dropped against zab judah,so that makes hime a straight up bum too. Yup,just a damn long list of bums. Rigo gets knocked down by an unexepected shot,gets back up like if nothing happened,and goes on to break the guys jaw and orbital bone,and he gets called weak? damn,sometimes i think people just get on here to vent some hate.
