    I made a thread detailing how I broke down the fight, here.

    Talk about anything boxing related here. Where the boxing discussion is always Non Stop!


    Some agreed with me, some didn't. Bottom line, if people complain about Floyd taking time off, then they should be all over Rigo for his inactivty.

    Btw, the fact you found that Rigo fight more entertaining, even, is somewhat offputting.
    Some agreed with you? More like no one agreed with you. terrible scorecard man. Smdh

        Mayweather, you can't copy Mayweather's style period you either have it or don't not even Rigo could fight like that.
        Mayweather stood his ground at times and Guerrero still couldn't land anything, Rigo back pedalled in the fight and would only throw on counters whilst Mayweather would create his own offensive and obviously counter.
        Mayweathers fight was more entertaining better to watch and a masterclass.

            Both were great technical fights that a true boxing fan could appreciate but the fact that Floyd was making the action happen and hit him from All angles not just a straight left and also that rigo go kd makes the Floyd a more dominant performance. More meaningful win for rigo of course tho.

              Rigo schooled a top 5 p4p...a fighter I thought extremely high of...Floyd schooled a dude who got beat by Salido a few years ago....a dude who QUIT while fighting in front of his home crowd...a dude I thought NOTHING of...yes I DID pick him to beat Berto but I picked EVERYBODY Berto has fought in the last 3 or 4 yrs to beat him....I think NOTHING of Berto as well

              Rigo's win and performance was better imo

                Nonito was a top fighter but he didn't come to fight at all, Guerrero was slow and couldn't catch Floyd but he actually tried.

                Floyd threw more punches was showing everything against a weak opposition, but at least he was trying to knock the guy out.

                I didn't like the guerrero fight it wasn't like a barnburner but it was still more impressive than Rigo's cautious fight agianst Donaire.

                Some of you are forgetting how boring that fight was it was basically rigo with his hand up measuring Donaire and putting his lead foot forward so Donaire couldn't get in close or properly place his foot close enough, it was boring as hell, it wasn't complete. Best round was the last round and the round Nonito dropped him.

                Other than that it was boring unimpressive and uneventful.

                Mayweather looked much better.

                Again more meaningful win goes to Rigo cause Nonito was a top guy
                More impressive less meaningful win goes to Floyd.

                Both fights were uneventful, but Floyd was the least boring of the two.
                Yup pretty much agreed with everything you said there!
                How can you enjoy a completely one sided fight...
                You could say you're enjoying the boxing but its just silly, especially when you stayed up to 4 in the morning for that kind of fight!
                You can atleast get some fights that are one sided that aren't boring i.e. If Rigo actually cared to create his own offensive instead of skipping around the ring for the entirety of the fight I might of just said it was a good watch but it clearly wasn't.

                  Donaire is overrated. He can only outspeed slower squared fighters. He cant brawl, make adjustments, no nothing. Ghost can box, brawl, swarm, walk through shots, counter, adjust. Donaire has always been overrated. Ghost has more potential overall and he's much bigger than Floyd, on comparison to how much bigger Nonito is than Rigo. With that being said, Both Nonito and Ghost are waaay too big for the guys they recently fought.

                    lol not sure how they can be compared. Rigo Dominated Donaire 90% of the fight while Donaire was supposed to be p4p.

                    While Floyd Outboxed Guerrero

                      Ghost is waay bigger than Floyd. And more size advantage over his opponent, in contrast to Donaire's over Rigo. But both guys are huge for their weight class. Ghost looked like a big headed version of Genero Hernandez.
