    Rigondeaux is a different animal, he can punch. He can hurt guys considerably bigger than him.

        i dont think people understand just how small ivan calderon is. He is the size of an average 12 year old boy. He is tiny

            Much respect to pro fighters but are people rating them too high on a Godlike level, no amount of skill is going to make him a hard enough puncher to hurt anyone bigger than your average 8th grader.

                I guarantee you that 12 rounds of getting punched by Calderon, you would be KTFO. Either you don't punch at all and get tagged all night long, or countered so badly when you do punch and gas out and get punched the **** out.

                  Also what about Mallignagi? I think he would UD me but I doubt he would KO me.. I think there is more chance of me KO'ing him than him KO'ing me as I think 4 stone is too much to give away to someone in good shape and with a decent boxing knowledge and fundamentals
                  If youve never been in the ring with a top pro you have no idea let alone against a world class pro. Those guys hit much harder than you would think and you would never see most of them coming. You'd get stopped most likely, but who knows, everyone is different.

                    I beat every man I faced. I avenged my lone loss with a KO 0:01 second into the first round of the rematch.

                      I disagree, I could probably let him whack away at me for a couple rounds without him hurting me until I got my breath back and lose a wide UD.

                      This guy is tiny with small bones, he just can't generate that much force and would be punching upward reducing his force even more so.
