Right now he doesn't remind me of anyone great because I don't rate prospects against all time greats. If he fights someone with talent then I will decide who he fights like.



    I've seen his talent and while he does show great skill he also hasn't been in there with a B level fighter. An average athlete can look amazing until he steps in with a real dog. Lets take Mike Jones for example. Against bums he was knocking the **** out them in under 2 rounds and then he gets flat lined by a guy with some experience. That could easily be a fighter like Rigondeaux. I think saying any prospect that hasn't been in with anyone and comparing him to a legend is a little premature.
    ok then, but somebody with his talent IMO ya cant say caballero ices him in 5 rounds. maybe saying idk, he has talent but this will be hard etc etc..yea i agree. but trust me if he fought caballero next month you'd be shocked at how well he adjusts from fighting d class fighters to world class fighters.

      Mayweather/Whitaker

      Some may think its too early to compare him to 2 ATG's but Rigo is a special prospect

      I think he has a great chance to beat Caba

        I wouldn't be too shocked simply because he does have talent(how much talent is yet to be seen on a higher level). I just can't judge prospects until they graduate and move on to the next level. With that said, even though Riggy is still a prospect I feel he should be fighting top 10 guys now because of his AM experience and his age. I'll be disappointed if I see his next fight against any sort of bum.
