Has there been a better foursome of technical fighters in a single era before? I'm talking about pure skills and ring generalship? I mean people might say Leanard, Hearns, Hagler and Duran but I'd question whether Hearns and Duran, technically, are on the same level as these guys tbh.
And one last question... let's imagine Floyd, Rigo, Ward and Crawford are all at the same weight class in their primes...who wins? :boxing:
I honestly couldn't split em.
I don't think anyone is dumb enough to try to get on the inside on Rigo.
Pound for pound Rigo kills all of them. Besides Crawford, he's the only one with scary power, he has the best footwork, reflexes, counter punching skills and he's a southpaw. He also has better mechanics, controls distance better and is the best defensive fighter next to Floyd.
I like Rigo but he has been clipped and knocked down before, if anything Rigo is not as strong as the others in the defensive skill category
Frampton is the one fighter for Ireland I've ever supported.........I cheered when Rigo smashed Willie Casey. Go look at me in any thread laughing at people for cheering for fighters who were born on the same patch of dirt as them.
Frampton fights a lot like Cotto and Chaves...two other of my favorite fighters who aren't Irish...imagine that???? lOl, like i said you're a loser.
Yes BJS beat a tall rangy world champion....With one punch Knockout power...>Completely shut him out and dropped him twice...... I get that Postol has just beaten NSB's favorite hypejob with a punch to the eye..,But stop acting like he didn't go 12 with Hank Lundy.... still Frampton, mares, quigg and st+ ran from the real Jackal, why you are bringing Frampton to this thread, is beyond me
Possibly.
But Rigondeaux hasn't fought anyone with the ability to get inside or fight there.
Not saying Rigondeaux can't fight on the inside just that I've yet to see it.
That's why I wanted to see Rigo fight kiko Martinez a couple of years ago.. Would love to see Rigo vs an aggressive inside mauler
I don't think it's even possible to get on the inside with Rigo.
Rigo has a vicious body attack and no one stays close after getting hit either to the body or to the head or jaw. Rigo is the most avoided fighter in boxing.
Judah. Floyd broke him down like a surgeon. But yeah for the most part you're right. Jab to the body, Lead right hand, Leaping left hook.....Doesn't do much more than that in 90% of his fights.
Judah is/was a mental midget. But Mayweather did work him out really well after the4th or 5th round. Thing is though, Carlos Baldomir had worked him out a fight previous lol
When he's getting sonned he likes to put words in peoples mouth...dude isn't mature enough to debate on these boards man.
yeah the average poster here is just a troll ready to name call and argue with emotions, when met with a person who actually will debate respectfully and wants to talk boxing they don't know how to react
at what point did I ever say rigo was better than Floyd? are u okay? ur like really a fighting irish... are u the Notre Dame mascot? its just a boxing conversation, would like to know (skill wise) how the poster ranks Floyd above rigo, like what aspects. I wasn't speaking resumes lol of course Floyd is better in that category its not even close. Take a deep breath, relax and post

The poster you replied to said that Floyd goes full defensive against great fighters...You threw a tantrum and started talking about Lower weights.... Then you brought up Gatti as your "proof" of being aggressive against a great fighter.
Floyd's performance against Gatti was masterful.... Yet he landed the same punches over and over again . He didn't do what a Morales would have done, Morales would have switched his feet to get more openings. Floyd just punched around Gatti's phlly shell from one angle because he was fast enough to. Amazing performance, against a not so great fighter.
Floyd is a brilliant fighter, one of the best of all time. But he was not Duran or Leonard on the frontfoot...What is so hard to accept about that?
Did I? You got proof smartypants that I claimed Gatti was "great" or you making things up again because your ass is getting kicked in this debate? I'll wait.....
5 weight world champion, most wins in Championship fights. P4P king like 4 separate times. BEst defense in history....
Why is Rigo better than Floyd fanboy? please tell us

Er where did I say Gatti was a "great fighter"? You're losing the debate so now the childish fallacies start!! :rolleyes: . This is about Floyd fighting on the front foot!!..he beat Gatti ON THE FRONT FOOT with one of the best performances ever seen in a boxing ring, therefore your theory that he wasn't "good on the front foot" is TOTALLY STUPID.

Says the one that is describing Gatti as a great fighter...... No Gatti got blasted by De La Hoya with ease...He was not a dangerous fight. Floyd couldn't stop ZAB JUDAH.....
How much of a loser are you? Your favorite fighter is the best defensive fighter in history and that's not enough.. You have to cry about stuff he doesn't have.

Are you playing dumb or you just plain stupid? YOU SAID HE'S NOT STRONG ON THE FRONT FOOT DUMMY!!..and Floyd put on a clinic on the front foot against Gatti who btw was deemed to be a dangerous fight at the time!!..so if you can't handle that fact then go suck it :bottle: .

Arturo Gatti? Wow you are a shameless loser. Did you miss the word "great"??? Gatti didn't even have a defence lol
Why didn't he stop Judah? Cotto did....In fact quite a few people did...

Wow!!! Totally missed the part where you said Crawford is better than Hearns and Duran technically.... How fu(king stupid
Estaban De Jesus> Terrence Crawford
So Hearns and Duran could switch sides on a whim smartypants?
Another one who needs to go sit somewhere!! :smashfrea
LOL nah "Floyd ain't great on the front foot"..The Gatti performance, one of the very best in a boxing ring EVER, was just an illusion right? :D

Pretty sure he said against great fighters..... And COUNTER punching is defense..... Floyd isn't that great on the front foot. He couldn't stop Judah. His power is under appreciated though. The guy rocked Oscar on the ropes.
