Who is a better boxer Rigondeaux or Mayweather

[BafanaBafana]

Guillermo lost to Cordoba. Far worse.

You're a ******, I can tell you haven't even watched the fight... Rigo knocked him down and outlanded him nearly two to one. Rigo almost got robbed on the scorecards though.

Man, I'm not discrediting Floyd. I'm saying Rigo is a slicker, and more skilled fighter by a HAIR. Like literally, a strand of hair.

It doesn't come off that way, because I have to be demonstrative about it, due to the barrage of Flowmos, but that's the nature of the beast when you're on a message board.

Ok I can see that happening on here and I do agree to an extent. Ive been dissecting that match alot because rig was amazing defensively.

Of course I saw it, it was on the Pac undercard. Guill got dropped hard by a jab then ran away the whole fight. It was awful, even HBO was worried.

It's not about punishment. It's about his actual size. The reason why I brought up 32 is because he's set at this weight. He's not young like Floyd was back then, where he had room to grow.

Hopkins went up 15 pounds at 40 years old. He was a small LHW who could have easily competed at 168, as shown by his performances at 170lbs against Winky and Pavlik.

Mayweather fought at 154 in his 30s, when he was not even that big of a WW.

Rigondeaux does not have to come at exactly 126, or 130, or 135, he can come in 4-5lbs lighter like Floyd does at 154. His skills will do the rest for him since he's so good.

You need to get you're eyes checked. Rigo knocked him down, had him hurt and Ricardo hardly landed a punch and was outlanded nearly two to one. Ricardo's KD was a flashknockdown, Rigo wasn't actually hurt.

They are both smart boxers I would have to go with Mayweather in this one though. He is the better boxer of the two.

Like you think I'm gonna watch that track meet again.

I'm sure he could cherrypeack at 126 the same way Floyd has been cherrypicking at 154, but he definitely does have the skills to dominate 126 if he chose to even while being at a huge weight disadvantage.

I got all the love in the world for Hopkins, but he's faced a bunch of tailor made opponents for him, and you can't use Hopkins as an example, because he's an anomaly. We're basing off pure skill. We're comparing Rigo right now vs. 135 Floyd.

Not to mention, RIGO is 32. He already comes in light for his fights, or basically the same weight as his weigh in weight. He walks around at 122 lbs. So, basically Rigo was way smaller than Nonito, and he's basically doing the same thing as Floyd. So, Rigo is THAT much of a beast.

Rigo's already doing what you're praising FLoyd for.
