I'll say it... Guillermo Rigondeaux is probaby the most skilled boxer of all time.

      Lol people trying to feed Rigo to the naturally bigger guys at 126 like he's some Donaire or Broner type guy who was feasting on smaller guys. Sorry to break to y'all but Rigo been fighting bigger guys his whole career.

        why amateur takes more pure skills then pro

            >__>... Playing devils advocate here but Bernard has lost. Rigo hasn't. :|... So moot point.

            No Shame in going down vs Donaire, either... I'd be more embarassed if Chad Dawson threw me. :|... Lol, just being an as s here.


            Anyway, The people defending Floyd are insane! Youre defending someone who needs no defending! Rigo has TWELVE fights dont be insecure jesus lol.

            Seriously though, 12 fights in and he beats a dude ranke up there with Floyd. Not bad. Defensively Rigo seems to be right there with rigo.


            I love the comment by some person here who said Floyd's defense is better because it's different? What kind of argument is that!? Lol. You must watch boxing in spots because Rigo did(and doesnt) just dance around. He can stand inside and slip with sheer timing and head movement alone literally using no foot movement or initiating clinches. His defense is top notch. He proved it. Floyd has been doing it for a long time as a pro, but lets give Rigo his due too. Lets not act like being such an accomplished amateur counts for nothing either.


            Rigo is ranked with Floyd IMO in terms of talent. He's not as offensive minded as Floyd was, but he hits harder. Floyd has had an infinitely better pro career, hes had more opportunity to showcase his skills. We'll get to see Rigo in his 30s possibly dominate as well or maybe we've seen the beat of Rigo. Settle down though..no need to hate.. Floyd fans should appreciate Rigo's technical mastery.

                I am not sure why Floyd fans are getting so scared. Its not like Floyd has to fight Rigo...

                I mean seriously... they were trying to argue that Deigo Corrales is as good as Nonito Donaire...

                    It was good, but he wasn't really facing world beaters. He was fighting a bunch of guys that were tailor made for him.

                    Rigo just got done tooling a P4P recognized fighter in his 13th pro fight.

                    There's no comparison. The margin for error in this fight was mind boggling.

                      Floyd was fighting bums through out his prime. I mean lets remember what prime Floyd accomplished.

                      After Castillo...

                      Sosa
                      Ndou
                      Corley
                      Bruseles
                      Gatti
                      Mitchell

                      That Andre Berto levels of hand picked opponents.
