    Watch them both relative to their competition. Rigo's timing, and reflexes are off the charts. Floyd as well, but just a hair slower. Plus, Rigo's defense is more advanced than Floyd's.

    He doesn't allow a fighter to smother him, and doesn't use his elbows, arms, and gloves to block the majority of the time. He uses his superior footwork, and angles. You rush him, and he's already slipped out the way, and angled off to your side, and lands a left hand.

    Rigo's stuff is more advanced.

      im all for rigo.. but i have to stop you there. floyds defense ****s all over rigo's. in only 12 fights rigo has already been dropped and rocked even with the southpaw advantage. Floyd has never been knocked down. That is an impressive feat that's overlooked and speaks volumes about his defensive ability and responsibility.

        Stanky leg vs. Shane, TWICE. Judah clearly should've gotten the KD.

        Pernell was also KD in his first few fights, but people don't hold that against him. You have to put KD's in context. Flash KD, or doing the stanky leg, twice???

                  Floyd can fight inside, outside, coming forward aggressively or going backwards defensively.

                  Rigondo can only run.

                    No one here is compraring prime Mayweather to current Rigo (at least I haven't), we're comparing current Mayweather w/current Rigondeaux. Also, 135 Floyd lost to Castillo...

                      Touche. Either way, I'm talking about their skills.
