    Amazing. And he's very much deserving of it.
    Rigondeaux is one of the greatest pure boxing talents in the world, and has been for some time. Unfortunately, he was stuck in a communist country, with no chance to go pro. His fans knew he could be an awesome professional, but many (including myself) were worried he might be too old to show his greatness. Our (my) concerns have been swept away. "El Chacal" has arrived.

      Ok thanks, is there a way to see how each of the 10 analyst voted?

        10. Hopkins

        Froch does not beat Ward, Dirrell [On neutral venue], Hopkins or Dawson and he's going in to a 50-50 fight with Kessler which he may lose and will need a little help from the judges.

          Not that I know of. But 9 out of the 10 panelists had Rigo in their top 10. It's obvious who the one who didn't was.

            Just imagine if Cuba didn't have those policies and stipulations. How many more Cuban World champs would there be?

            It would be frightening.

                  Very good list if you ask me.

                  Probably the best and most credible list in Boxing at the moment.

                  Only one thing I would personally change is have Mares instead of Bradley.

                    question: How in the **** did Pacquiao rise to #5 on the p4p list?

                      Whilst the praise for Rigondeaux has certainly been overboard since Saturday, to consider him not a P4P calibur fighter now is ridiculous.

                      The guy just soundly beat a Top 5 P4P fighter, 12 fights or not, name me one instance where a fighter doesn't enter the P4P list after that?

                      If Donaire won, I'd have moved him to #3 behind Mayweather and Marquez on my list.

                      There is simply no way you can't include him now after his last fight.
