He just tightened up his game. It was still a highly amateur styled fight that he fought. Control distance, land the 1-2, get out of the way. Where were the right hooks coming back off the left? the Jab was more pawing than forceful. That's what got him in trouble against the other guys, Nonito IMO doesn't have the confidence in creating openings to try and take advantage of that though. Guill is a great boxer. I never said otherwise

Do you even know how boxing works???

If you land on an elite counter puncher, that's it. You don't go out of your way to throw that second shot, because it leaves an opening for the counter puncher.

You got 2 great counter punchers. You saw what happened when Donaire committed to 2-3 shots. He got spun, off balance, and received a left hand to the face.

Most ridiculous fan base on NSB.

I don't consider FLoyd's limitations facets to his game.

Lack of a vertical game. Gets smothered too often, unlike Rigo who has superior foot movement. Blocks a majority of incoming shots, by either ducking low with a body check, or tying someone up, as they get close. None of that is a flaw at all, but Rigo doesn't get smothered in the first place, because of his superior footwork and angles.

That's not indicative of Floyd having a better inside game. That's indicative of Floyd not being able to use his footwork, and angles as well as Rigo.

Floyd chooses to block and slip rather than move around the ring these days. He's adaptive. To say he doesn't have footwork is ridiculous. The only reason Cotto survived round 12 was because Floyd decided to start moving around late. His inside game, his uppercuts, and hooks equal greater punch variety in favor of Floyd.

Donaire is lethal bruh. You don't sit in the pocket. You close the distance, land and get out.

Because he chooses to fight that way. Rigo chooses not to get tied up, or trapped in a situation/position. When have you ever seen Rigo trapped in the corner while he was getting hit to the body, and arms. That's not smart fighting. It just looks cool.

Which is why Floyd is the better boxer overall, his talents can afford him to add in combinations, as well as potshot if he feels like it.

Against who??? He damn sure didn't do that with an elite counter puncher with the power to KO you with his 1st shot.

Donaire was a deer in the headlights in some spots, there is no reason a right hook shouldn't have followed some of those shots.

those who voted rigondeaux and says floyd doesn't have a chance, may all have not watched floyd during he's younger years at 130. they all just started watching when floyd fought oscar.

achieve first what floyd has achieved. if skills pay the bills and rigo has the skills why not?right? rise thru the weight classes and dominate them.

but as what i've heard he's gonna stay at 122 until he retires
