How good was Rigondeaux?

Step back counter. Occasionally caught you by surprise with a stand and counter (usually involving a muderous bodyshot). Couldn’t or wouldn’t lead for sht. Made for some serious nothing fights when the other guy decided he wasn’t going to lead neither. Never watched a ton of the little guys, but I always liked Rigo's style and his accolades are hard to slight

I'm reading that he was one of the all-time greats at 122 lbs. He was allegedly better than Pac and Mayweather at those ages. Woulda been favored against most fighters that weight.

Rigo is a Wizard! He quit against Lomochenko though but that fight looked like a exhibition, Lomo just made it look easy that night. imagine if he came to the states in his prime, he would of been undisputed at 118 and 122lb during that time. Unfortunately he started late in his pro career.

He was excellent and still is damn good in his old age.

One of the most ducked fighters in recent history. Nobody wanted any parts of him. And I'm amazed how sharp he stays even being so inactive. Let's you know the caliber of fighter he was.

What was his trick? Sincere question Sit back and counterpunch. That's his whole offense.

Honestly nobody wanted a piece of him. As far as I can remember,bob arum wanted to feed him to Nonito when the guy was being tauted as the next Pacquiao. When rigo flipped the script and embarrassed the guy,arum was pissed and blackballed rigo. That's when the guy's career went into the shutter and years went bye with people avoiding him (frampton,Santa Cruz ect) until he decided to cash out against loma. Overall great fighter,but like many cubans never reached theor full potential in terms of fame and talent. Basically, probably woulda been a hall of Famer had he escaped Cuba earlier. Dude has a hellacious straight counter, vicious body puncher, and super chinny which always makes for a little excitement. At his advanced age he damn near shut out a p4p fighter like nonito donaire. Broke his face

One trick pony. Helluva a trick though. What was his trick? Sincere question

Plenty of talent, lacked drive and aggression. When he turned up with no intention of throwing any punches of Loma, that was the end of my interest in him. It was a weird watch, a fight with two skilled fighters and there was no skill on display. Loma won through work rate and Rigo did nothing then faked an injury. A contender for the worst fight of all time. Rigo vs Donaire was a great schooling thought, with Nonito adding drama with the late knockdown.

Could have been an ATG based on talent in my opinion. Got avoided like the plague at his natural weight unfortunately.

Good enough to whoop prime Nonito’s ass.
