The only B-Ball player i can imagine being successful at Boxing is Carmelo Anthony, because he actually practices boxing from time to time.
i said in my first reply, IF HE TRAINED SINCE A KID.
jesus.
All basketball players have bad chins. Dwight howard is a diva ass b1tch and would get ktfo by a Light Heavyweight.
whats with the bias/irrational reasoning?
can we be a little more fair, scientific and rational here haha
well he does play basketball, so he can't be too bad with explosiveness/generating rotational force/controlling weight distribution/balance etc.
with his wingspan height and wieght and a huge ass mother ****in shoulder, im confident to say had he started boxing as a child, he'd be world class now. lol
just look at the people rigo schooled..
pressureless fighters trying to outbox an olympic gold medalist.
how silly is that....
just wait til rigo faces a multi dimensional pressure/high output fighter..
amagasa hurt and dropped him for christ sakes, and dude punches 5 times a round. why cant ppl see or understand!!
u know rigo is overrated when there is actuallly seven ****ing votes for rigo to win by decision.
lmao.
rigo is small at 122, and u want him to jump 3 divisions to fight at 1 of mayweathers' strongest weight?
rigo is grossly overrated on this forum lmao.
Yes, you have to throw more than 4 punches a round to win fights.
yes as in hes a bad fighter? yes as in this is how he fought previously? or yes as in kovalev made him a punching bag

promoter issues i see... thats quite disappointing.
**** these promoters killin the sport..
I made a thread about this a while ago lol.I think Rigo would win but this fight is really intriguing to me. This fight has no shot at happening tho
how come no shot at happening?
yea i was wondering why i havent seen many threads about this...
It is ancient, but doesn't change what he's said.
He's right, HOWEVER...we've seen punchers in there get gun shy and in a hurry.
It's got to be a guy with speed, and who's willing to eat leather, and not get gun shy in the process.
Maidana isn't afraid to trade, but I'm concerned he doesn't have the speed.
That's where Amir Khan comes into play. Young, lots of punches, willing to eat leather. His chin should hold up against Mayweather.
No haters tonight guys, I'm too tired.
mayweather has underrated power :/..
but at the same time...
khan's chin is overly exaggerated as being fragile as well :/..
underrated..?
he went from underrated to overly (maybe not) "hyped" (excuse my choice of words here). ppl are overcompensating for his lack of recognition lol.
(AS IN PPL ON FORUMS, his fights still dont sell)
