    Mayweather or Rigondeaux - Who performed better?

    Rigondeaux fought a consensus top 5 P4P fighter that was on 10 or 11 year winning streak.

    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?

      Rigondeaux's performance was way more impressive.

              Rigondeaux, because he was expected by many to lose against Donaire, while Floyd was expected by many to win against Ghost.

              Ghost was just outmatched, Donaire was beaten up and scared by the smaller man at the end of the fight.

                This topic was done already but the overwhelming majority said Rigondeaux.

                  Both did great.

                  Floyd did better defensively. Never got near to get knocked down.
                  Rigondeaux did better offensively.

                  Overall I'm more impressed by Rigo's win since I was rating Donaire really high prior to the fight.

                    Both performed really well, It is hard for me to say because I like both fighters and the matches just looked so similar. But on the virtue of punches landed for the victor I go with Mayweather(195 punches landed on Guerrero). Who looked slicker in the ring and got hit less, I go with Rigondeaux(82 punches landed on Rigondeaux thrown by Nonito).

                    I need to see how Guerrero and Nonito respond to their defeats but when all is said and done, by the end of 2013 I will probably say Rigondeaux, but who knows.
