Rigondeaux vs Pacquiao @ 122

[-Kev-]

I disagree. Pacquiao at 147 thinks too much, there's a better chance he plays into Rigondeaux's hands. Pac at 122 or 126 was a ****ing wild man with a great chin, and Rigondeaux would be forced to fight at a pace he has yet to fight at. He sure as hell couldn't fight like he did against Donaire.

I don't know why so many boxing fans think like this. It's the same thing every time, Marquez was going to be forced to fight at a higher pace, Hopkins, Mayweather, Wlad, etc. All of these counterpunchers that are going to supposedly fight a high work rate guy and is going to "fight at a higher pace". None of that ever happens, in fact the complete opposite happens. The wild, high work rate fighter is forced to calm the f-ck down and back off because of the counters.

This is every one's prediction EVERY time between a counter puncher and a high workrate fighter, and it's ALWAYS wrong. The counter puncher always brings down the work rate considerably and fights his fight.

Very well said. You have to be easy with Dunn. He a little slow sometimes.

You gotta admit. 147 Pac >>>> 122 Pac. Right?

But that's the same reason why I think Pacquiao could possibly get KTFO, or not like what's coming back at him, and pull a Donaire.

Pacquiao @ 147 was the same wild man with a great chin, except he had much more craft, and overall better game. I give the Pacquiao that fought ODLH the best chance of beating Rigo. His physical prime, and added all the cuteness to his game. I've never seen a faster Pac than the one that fought against ODLH.

Rigo needs to fight someone like Pac and beat him. For now he has only one good win and this will not translate him beating everybody. Pac proved he can beat a boxer like Ledwaba and Sasakul which are proven better fighters than Rigo's one win to boot.

Oscar (that manny fought, not the one pre tito), Hatton, Clottey, Cotto, Mosley and Margarito all box and move like rigo did. haha. even you dont believe that.

My point is Rigo>>>>>>Ledwaba.

Ledwaba looks like Margarito compared to Rigo.

I didn't say he had to fight at a fast pace, but he wouldn't be able to throw 400 punches in 12 rounds and beat Pac.

If Rigondeaux was as inactive as he was against Donaire, he'd lose.

I knew people would jump on the Rigo bandwagon but not to this level

Pac destroys Rigo at any weight any time

castillo-mayweather, calzaghe-hopkins, mares-moreno, diaz/pacquiao-marquez

not at the counter-punchers pace, plenty of punches

dont rate/consider vlad as a counter-puncher

[straightleft]

My point is Rigo>>>>>>Ledwaba.

Ledwaba looks like Margarito compared to Rigo.

This fighter fights like Rigo. He is a boxer who moves a lot. He was a Thailand boxing hero, WBC champ and Lineal champ.



See what I'm trying to say? This guy was giving Pac a boxing lesson and was boxing his ears off. Watch the full video and guess what happened? My point is..Pac proved he can beat a boxer/runner while Rigo's one good win against fellow boxer/mover did not.

Now show me a video of Rigo beating a fighter like Pac with the same attributes not those tomato cans.

And the counter puncher does not always bring the aggressive fighter down. Abner Mares and Carl Froch are recent proof of that. As was Manny Pacquiao at his best.
