    Floyd wouldn't fight like he did against Ortiz.....you want to know why....because Floyd didn't fight like he did against Ortiz back when he was at 130.
    Floyd would get out countered by the faster, and more powerful counter puncher, with the style to thwart other counter punchers. Floyd's style is more towards, exposing come forward boxer/puncher/brawlers. You notice how he had to walk down Judah, and Mosley? I wish Floyd would walk down Rigo. It would play right into Rigo's hand.

    You must have forgotten Hatton and Corrales were both Top 10 P4P, unbeaten, and prime.
    Hatton/Corrales??? You serious right now?

    You're comparing someone with wins over Cordoba, Ramos, and Donaire.....to someone with wins over Genaro, Manfredy, Corrales, C. Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto.
    Genaro: Saw the fight. Genaro was old, and was tailor made for Floyd. Just because you're a big name doesn't mean styles don't make fights.

    Manfredy: Rigo would tool a guy like Manfredy at 122.

    Corrales: Same ****, different toilet

    Gatti: Ni99a please. A washed up, past prime Gatti equals a great win to you?

    Judah: Another guy that has a major flaw, that Floyd exploited, and had trouble with in the first 3-4 rounds. Imagine Rigo being Floyd in the fight. Judah wouldn't be so brash and ****y in the first few rounds, because he'd get hit back with a bazooka left.

    Baldomir: You just listed him to list him huh?

    DLHYA: Past prime, and not even ranked P4P.

    Hatton: Dude was already exposed by Collazo the second he moved up to 147. Tons of people were saying he's not a 147 fighter.

    Marquez: Blown up 2 weight classes, and Floyd still didn't make the weight.

    Mosley: Past prime, made Floyd do the stanky leg, but still a good fight for Floyd. I'll give him that.

    Ortiz: Ortiz can't even fight going backwards, and he wouldn't be coming forward on Rigo like he did with Floyd. Rigo's power P4P much better than Floyd's. People fear that power.

    Cotto: Washed the fugg up, and war torn like a Vietnam vet. The fight was at 154 as well. Cotto wasn't the same lean, mean fighting machine he was at 147.

      That lead right hook was going mad damage on Donaire. I was out of my seat every time he snuck that in.
      I know right. It was brilliant.

        Why am I even talking to a clown like this???

        So one win over Donaire is better than 15 years and titles in 5 weight classes??? Man, how old are you???

          Well they'd never fight because Rigondeaux isn't leaving 122, and Floyd has always been 130-154.....so even comparing the two is pretty dumb in the first place.

          Two can play at this game....

          Genaro (#1 130)
          Manfredy (#2 130)
          Corrales (#1 130/#5 P4P)
          C. Hernandez (Top 10 130)
          Chavez (#4 130)
          Castillo (#1 135)
          Corley (#6 140)
          Gatti (#1 140)
          Judah (#5 147)
          Baldomir (Ring 147)
          De La Hoya (#3 154)
          Hatton (#8 P4P)
          Marquez (#2 P4P)
          Mosley (#1/2 147/#3 P4P)
          Ortiz (#2 147)
          Cotto (#1 154)
          Now Guerrero (#3 147)

          If he beats Guerrero, that'll be 13 opponents that were either Top 3 at that weight class or Top 10 P4P.

          Rigondeaux is great, but he doesn't have near enough time left in his career to get to the same level.

            Genaro (RING champ/#1 130)
            Manfredy (#2 130)
            Corrales (#1 130/#5 P4P)
            C. Hernandez (Top 10 130)
            Chavez (#4 130)
            Castillo (#1 135)
            Corley (#6 140)
            Gatti (#1 140)
            Judah (#5 147)
            Baldomir (Ring 147)
            De La Hoya (#3 154)
            Hatton (#8 P4P)
            Marquez (#2 P4P)
            Mosley (#1/2 147/#3 P4P)
            Ortiz (#2 147)
            Cotto (#1 154)
            Now Guerrero (#3 147)

            Rigondeaux is great, but he doesn't have near enough time left in his career to get to the same level.
            Rigo is 32 homie, and is already small for his weight class. He not only beat Donaire, but he did it coming in the much smaller man.

            He walks around at 122. He's already doing what Floyd's doing against a prime, P4P elite killer counter puncher with 1 shot KO power.

            That's sucks with a lot of Cuban fighters. They don't get the chance to showcase their talents at an earlier age. I highly doubt Rigo will match Floyd's overall resume. I don't think he'll have enough time.

              It's true like you said, styles make fights. Just like Rigondeaux, the faster and more skilled fighter, beat the counter puncher Donaire....Floyd, the faster and more skilled fighter, dominated Marquez. And don't give me the weight....at the same weight Marquez arguably beat Manny and than KO'd him in the 4th fight.

              Styles do make fights, but Floyd's style is going to beat almost any other style.

                If you combine Nonito and Guillermo you might be able to touch Floyd.

                  Please. JMM was nowhere near as used to WW, when he fought Floyd.

                  Except Rigo's, Pernell's, SRL, Duran, SRR, Tommy Hearns, list goes on, and to be quite honest, he's never even fought a guy like Donaire.

                  When did he fight a Donaire caliber fighter at 130/135??? His supposed "best" weight classes.

                    So does Rigo. Have you seen him fight? He can counter you with a right hand as well, and doesn't throw meaningless shots.

                    He's so good, he barely has to work off his jab sometimes. His defense is that good. He'll make you miss like Sweet Pea. Check out my signature.

                    Another thing Floyd doesn't do. He doesn't have the vertical game of Sweet Pea. In that situation, it's tie his man up, or duck with a shoulder/elbow/gloves check. Or he ducks 1 shot, then moves clear out the way.

                    Rigo got defense covered like the 85' Chicago Bears.
                    You should read my post before that again and come back.

                      Difference between you and me. I don't need to swoop into a debate like a side linde cheerleader. I go mano y mano.
