Just think of the nightmares Broner would be having if Rigo was campaigning at 135lbs.....

Rigo fights nothing like Mayweather though. What makes Rigo so good is his feet, not the philly shell that Mayweather has mastered.

It's classic Cuban footwork mixed with power and speed he's been blessed with. Rigo wins with his feet, Broner and Mayweather don't or haven't. Well Mayweather was much better with his feet when he was younger but he is slowing down and Broner just stands in front of guys.

Oh I know and understand this very clearly. But Mayweather in his younger years used his feet a lot more than he does now. But when you look at it Broner looks more like the Mayweather of today...he stands there more. If you look at Broner and Mayweather in his younger days there would be a big difference. Also, May's and Rigo's reflexes are way better than Broners.

Rigo fights much more similar to Pernell Whitaker than Mayweather, which is rated by some as the greatest defensive fighter of all time.

Mayweather was winning with his feet and was so dominant that everybody complain he never engages. Now he engages people think he can not win using his feet? Mayweather will outbox Rigon using his feet.. and feint while thrusting forward with a straight. Rigon doesn't come forward except with his money shot that straight left.

Using your feet as defense doesn't make you a superior fightrr when a fighter learns to slip punches while standing in front is hardet to master than moving ad dipping in to score Maywrathet can save that enegy because he's learned to fight in th picket which isn't easy

This exactly I wish there was someone like that in broners weight class to test him, but then again he might not fight him hah. I think broner loses to a fast boxer puncher with great defense.

After Saturday night's display of unbelievable skills I think Broner might now be a little worried that, perhaps, now people will switch over to Rigo and start calling him the next Mayweather. The way I see it....Broner might want to look like Mayweather but skill wise its pretty obvious that Rigo resembles him much...much more than Broner. I can't wait until a reporter asks him about what he thought about Rigo...of course he won't be honest....Don't worry Broner you can take 3rd place....hahahaha...just messing.

give it a rest rigo is his own fighter he fights nothing like mayweather not even close and besides the shoulder roll defense i dont think broner that similar to floyd anyway

Broner will just say who, I;ve never heard of him

Broner is now worried.....
