    Why is Rigondeaux still underrated?

    He's the best fighter in the world today period. Not Floyd and not Ward.

    The Ring magazine doesn't even have him top 10 p4p, what a ****ing joke.

      Think we all came around, I always recognized the tools, didn't think he would utilize them that successfully against Donaire. Rigo is great, not better than Ward or Mayweather though, jus' don't see that.

        Weight is the answer that springs to mind for me.
        If his toolkit was availible (or physically possible) at 140-154. He'd be #1 p4p ATG etc..

          I think hes as if not more skilled technically and has the best win but they have longevity in their favour. Funny though how they'll have a clown like Broner ranked infront of Rigondeaux.

            underrated ??!! If anything he's overrated, only the fact that somebody makes a thread and says he's ahead of Ward and Floyd because of 1 significant win in the professionals shows how he's overrated on these board.

            He's a hell of a fighter though and should be in the top 5-10 pound for pound

              Because except for Conaire his resume stinks. Not to mention he's been rocked/dropped by club fighters. If anything he's overrated.

                  So, are you saying that if we don't have him better than Ward or to a lesser extent Floyd, he's underrated??

                    Well he already said he's never moving up, and he beat the only threat in the division..

                    There is just not really much to look forward to with him.
