Rigondeaux is an exceptional, superb, A+ once in a lifetime fighter. Lol.

How many fighters have had an A+ chin?

His chin isn't bad by any means. The shots Marroquinn hit him with would of put a lesser fighter down & out.

He got hit with a big counter left hook from a big guy who hits hard on the temple and his legs seemed to go. I don't honestly feel he was badly hurt, it appeared to me to knock him off balance as he pulled back & the 2nd shot - he immediately responded with a counter to the body before tying up.

That's everyone's knock on Rigondeaux: his chin. Yet, the closest he's ever come to being knocked down was putting his glove on the canvass to steady himself versus Cordoba. The jab that caused the down obviously wasn't tremendous, but it's likely that Guille was simply caught slightly off-balance.

We've seen great fighters prone to knockdowns before. Juan Manuel Marquez has a tendency to hit the canvass, yet no one calls him "chinny," or "a KO waiting to happen." Felix Trinidad often hit the deck, but no one sites his "chin issues." Why don't people complain about these guys' chins? Because they won. And when fans see Rigo win repeatedly, they'll forget about his perceived flaw.

lol @ Donaire being called a "limited guy"

what a joke

He is; he couldn't adapt against Narvaez, Mathebula or Vasquez Jr and you can give me all the hand excuses you like. Hes limited, one-dimensional but he gets a pass due to his 'flashy style' of dropping his hands and clowning around.

well if you're going to call a fighter A+, superb, once in a lifetime then i assume everything about him is A+, superb, etc, etc.

There has never been a fighter in history who has been A+ in every single department. Every fighter has his flaws.

In the Cordoba KD, Rigo can be KD with a Jab! In the Marroquin fight, Rigo shown his spaghetti legs! That's the bad sign!

April 13th, come back and mock me then, you won't be nowhere to be seen!

You'll understand why I said that and you will no longer be blinded. You'll see what I've always seen in Rigondeaux.

If Rigondeaux was a black American he would be hailed as the second coming of Pernell Whitaker!

Go study his footwork, his reflexes, his defense, speed, accuracy, timing, counterpunching ability you'll realise what I said is true.

I don't have to tell you his achievements, they speak for themselves.

Oh my god, let's start with the... well if he was black/white!

But U said Rigo was A+, which means Flaw less! So you're lying to yourself!

We're just trying to correct you!

I haven't denied that. Now explian to me why that makes Rigo chinny and JMM and "Tito" aren't.

well he's going to have to be perfect in every department if he wants to get that win against donaire.

too bad his soft chin is going to be his downfall though.

Those 3 has all different styles! And Donaire beat them all convincingly!

Rigo looks like a boring coward in the Cordoba fight! Chinny in the Marroquin fight! You call that guy with 11 fight an A+?

"A+" doesn't equal "flawless." Would you say Nonito is A+? I thought so. Would you say he's flawless? He's not.
