    Rigondeaux vs Pacquiao @ 122

    Seeing last nights fight, if he could do that to Donaire then he could well shut the hell out of the 122lbs version of Pac.

    Just my thoughts.

        Pac at 122 is an entirely different fighter than Donaire. Nothing about last night gives a clue towards a potential Pac-Rigo fight.

        I'd pick Pac to stop Rigo. He was a crazy animal back then, Rigondeaux would have to land some huge shots that stopped Pac in his tracks. Don't see it happening.

          i think he could too, i mean we saw what jmm did pac was not invincible
          but rigo chin might not hold up, i think it would be60/40 chance in pacroid favor

            Pac was a beast and still is, relentless punches in bunches true warrior mentality. Vastly different styles would have been something to watch, I'd pick Pac to win it. But this is a fantasy fight so Rigo got this.

              Green K but I have to say that pac was a crazy unpredictable demon back then.

                Pac was a whirling dervish who didn't give a fck at 122 with insane speed, pressure, and monstrous power.

                Donaire is a finesse fighter who was outfinesse'd last night.

                Donaire needed to fight more like Pac to win the fight. He needed to make it rough and apply constant pressure to make Rigo uncomfortable.

                That's not Donaire's style though so obviously he failed at it other than that one round.

                Pac would land a bomb from an awkward angle Rigo doesn't expect and it's nighty night.

                Pac KO Rigo in 5 if they fought back in the day.

                  I don't think Rigo would win.

                  Pacquaio was too fast, too energetic and too reckless, I think the amount of pressure he would put out coupled with his speed wouldn't give Rigo time to set up his shots let alone think about tactics.

                  Pacquaio also has a granite chin (despite Marquez KO) so he wouldn't respect Rigos power and hold back, making the mistake which Nonito did.

                  Pac via TKO, but it would be a great fight.

                    Would be an extremely similiar fight to mayweather-pacquiao @ 147. Pacquiao would be shut out and possibly stopped in both scenarios.
