Who is a better boxer Rigondeaux or Mayweather

[Mike Haynes]

Rigo did an awesome job on Donaire, but he basically did one thing well.....time Nonito with the left hand. Rigo didn't do much else because Nonito couldn't adjust and change his game plan. When he attacked and bum rushed Rigo, he dropped him.

I need to see more. Rigo controlled the pace, but at the same time he looks like he would not be cruising towards the end of the fight if there was aggresive pressure put on him, as well as someone to match the grabs and elbows he delivered. I think with sustained action, Rigo tires badly late.

I have to see Rigo at junior lightweight before I can say he matches Mayweather....and I don't even think May is as great a boxer as the world makes him out to be.

lol, you people are getting carried away with rigo's latest win, rigo is boring as hell but he's one slick boxer in his unicycle, mayweather though has more pop

How does Mayweather have more pop? He has two stoppages in his last 8 or 9 fights and one of those came from a cheap shot (the other against a glass chinned 140 pounder moving up). Meanwhile Rigo has stopped the vast majority of his opponents (8/12) and Donaire is the first and only one he hasn't dropped.

Bro even Rigo knew he couldnt slug it out with Donaire. Donaire has the lights out punch. Rigo made no mistakes and had a plan. He shocked me with how much ring generalship he had and how he dictated the fight. It was a boring snooze fest but he got the win. He was smart. He took a great fighter and made him look smh.... I look dumb? lol Rigo was the underdog for a reason. FYI...i bet on Rigo to win. I took a sucker bet and won! Rigo > Floyd.

Donaire was the one who knew he couldn't slug it out with Rigo. He learned that on the first round with Rigo blasted him good. After that Donaire was gun shy until the last round when he got desperate then went back holding he shots. If Donaire would have opened up more he would have been stopped even while being much bigger then Rigo.

Yup, and thats because Donaire was holding his shots. Rigo P4P is a more explosive puncher then Floyd.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, Rigo is THAT damn good............

You ever stop and think about that for a second???

I said Rigo was good, but to say he is the best fighter of your lifetime? My response was correct to question your age. Does Rigo show great promise and skill? Yes. But 12 professional fights and now he is a better boxer that Floyd. Show some respect. Your thread and question should never have been asked.

hes mad at a thread that was supposed to be based on opinion, lol, he took it to heart and now hes calling ranting and talking in a self pity tone, accusing people about trolling him due to their opinions


it may seem that im trolling but im mostly giving up facts on my comments

i do troll alot but dlt is easy to react so he starts easily getting paranoid and offended about anything on this thread

Typical Flowmosexual.

Don't forget at the lower weights Floyd was known as a power puncher.

BINGO!!! I can't believe anyone in their right mind believes Floyd has more pop than Rigo. If you have a set of eyes, you'd realize that's the 1 CLEAR advantage Rigo has over Floyd, is power, everything else is equal, but Rigo is sharper with his technique, and has more craft to his game.

Rigo is a 90th level Tiger style master counter puncher, with a bazooka attached to his arm.

Rigo set the tone from the jump, and dictated the whole fight like a BOSS.

He's THAT good.....

P4P??? Ni99a I think Rigo punches harder than Floyd even without considering weight classes. LMAO.
