Rigo! He fought the better opponent. Plus, Donaire pursued Rigo most of the fight but by the 12th he was running away. Donaire knew he needed the last round but he only tried to survive.

Mayweather fought a consensus top welterweight that tore through Berto and outclassed Aydin. Guerrero was on a lengthy win streak of his own.
I think Rigondeaux performed better even though he was KD. The KD was during a clinch and Rigo stood up immediately. I feel that Donaire was more of a threat than Guerrero.
Who do you think performed better?
Rigo fought some one who belongs a Few weight classes above him. Fighting Donaire who was truelly One of the top p4p with great power, amazing speed, fast foot work, great counterpuncher, you name it. And Rigo put on a clinic.
Floyd fought someone that belonged Two weightclasses below him. Well, he fought Robert. Guerrero should go back down to 140 where i think he would alot better as he looks too soft at 147.
Thats the truth how ever you want to spin it .

Maybe Rigondeaux (considering he had a higher quality opponent) but then again he did get dropped once. Mayweather's fight looked like a sparring match.

Toss up
Both boxed masterfully and although Donaire was a better opponent than Guerrero he didn't look prepared physically or mentally for Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux did get dropped but it was kinda fluky and I dont count it against him much.

Rigo was an underdog to Donaire. He was supposed to lose.
Mayweather was a huge favorite to Guerrero. He was supposed to outclass him.

Both showed an ease that we are used to seeing from Floyd by now after he figures hes opponent out but we have to factor in the level of opposition here if not id say Floyd but seeing tha done by Rigo to a top 5 p4p was a thing of beauty and something i wish i see Floyd do again before he retires. (meaning against a top p4p)
