I don't have any doubt rigo will beat donaire if the fight happens...I've known about this guy for years cos he lived about an hour drive Away with a few other Cuban defectors like Luis Garcia so the hype about his talent is fairly justified IMO.....if nonito beats him il be the first on to admit I got it completely wrong

Rigondeaux is a terrefic boxer and has some amazing skills but arguably the most overrated boxer on here. He has only fought one solid Jr FW and thats Ricardo Cordoba. Everyone else on his resume are bonafide cab drivers. I mean those guys are good in comparison to the amount of fights that he has but If you were to compare his record to a guy like Donaire or Mares then his record is garbage.
Does he have the talent, skills and God gifted ability? Absolutely! Sure he has 400+ amateur fights and has notable names on his on his amateur record but Ams and Pros are completely different. No headgear + smaller gloves, longer rounds and a more methodical pace makes a COMPLETE difference. I respect the guy for what he did in the Ams but it means nothing in the Pros at this point.
Donaire is NOTHING like the 11 guys Rigo has fought. Donaire will have the height, reach and arguably the weight advantage. Spead... I would say is equal. KO power? I would give give that to Donaire although Rigo has some pop himself but then again if Donaire fought all the guys on Rigo's resume, he would drop/KO them as well.
The thing about Rigo is his punch output is too low. Everytime he gets cracked with a good shot he goes all defensive and is punch output is even lower then it already is. Donaire can bang and look for the KO which he has been doing in some of his fights (Narvaez, WV2, Mathebula) or he can box and let the KO come like he did with Nishioka. Donaire is the more dynamic and multi faceted fighter. Rigo only has one style he can use and for the most part it can be entertaining and extremely boring depending on who he fights. And for the most part... Its boring.
I think Rigo poses the biggest threat to Nonito style wise but I just dont see Rigo beating Donaire if he decides to box and not look for the KO like he did with Narvaes, WV2 and Mathebula. Donaire matches Rigo in speed, has more KO power, has a higher punch output, has the height and reach advantage and can box if he wants. I see the fight looking a lot like Donaire v Narvaez in a boring fight.Comment

Can somebody answer me this; Seeing as you all keep saying Rigondeaux is overrated and the most overrated on this entire site (though I think Golovkin wins that hands down) how come nearly everyone is picking Donaire?
Lets be honest; Golovkin wasn't half the amateur Rigondeaux was, he hasn't done as much in twice the amount of pro fights Rigo has but you're all on his nuts based on amateur credentials and mythical power. Hypocrites!
Golovkin is even more unproven than Rigo is!Comment

Rewatch his fight with Rigo. I thought they mentioned there...? With US commentating tho. Not BoxNation or anything like that. Could be wrong, maybe I'm mistaking it for Russell Jr.Originally posted by dan_cov

Says he finished 165-15. He fought Russell Jr 4 times and lost 3. I can't find anything on Broner. Sorry I guess I was mistaken.
