    I don't think you can find one honest person who would say that Broner is better than Rigondeaux.

        He has very few fights, only one name, and was dropped in that fight and others. Plus, outside of Mares there aren't many people he can fight to build any kind of legacy. And on top of that he's older, so he won't have much time to do it before his reflexes go. He will always be a "what could have been" kind of fighter.

          What does any of that have to do with his P4P ranking?

          And the 'only one name' thing doesn't mean jack shit when a guy gives a performance like Rigo did.

            i think most sensible people have him in their top 5. i have him 2nd, myself. it's a shame but the ring isn't sensible any more.

              The Ring magazine doesn't even have him top 10 p4p, what a ****ing joke.
              can't knock his skills, but his resume isn't that strong

                He's not underrated, just needs some more wins.

                  Technically I believe Rigo is more skilled then Ward, though he only beat one name. He can't be in the top 5 p4p, he needs more wins against more names.

                    the majority of boxing "fans" dont really know anything about the sport and cant recognize or appreciate a good fighter when they see one. its all about wars and knockouts with these ppl and the technical side of boxing it gets overlooked.

                      I disagree abut Rigo being more skilled than Ward. He's brilliant, but can he fight any fight the way Ward can? Because Ward has fought every way and looked brilliant, inside, outside, rough, finesse, doesn't matter. Maybe Rigo is plenty capable of the same, but I haven't seen it.

                      He absolutely can be top 5 p4p, because he belongs. The Donaire win was enough to where you can't list the best fighters in the world and not say Rigondeaux is top 3 or 4. Especially with the hectic movement throughout the rest of the list.
