    Could anyone imagine Rigondeaux facing Sweet Pea? I couldn't even imagine.

            I would Pay anything to see that. When it comes to Technical skills those 2 and also Floyd get my vote.

              Ivan Calderon, Mayweather and Hopkins are just moderns who I think may be the most skilled to lace em up since Sweet Pea and stack up against greats. Rigo is up there too, but I'd like to see some more fights against quality opp before lumping him in there with the aforementioned three.

                Mayweather is easily one of the most complete technical fighters ever. Sweet Pea obviously but I tend to give righties more credit because I think its easier for a Southpaw. They just have a huge advantage in all of pro sports and times that by 10 when its boxing. Thats why I always give Southpaws a chance to win a fight or I think the up & coming southpaws always have a chance to be elite because of that advantage

                  Rigo is up there. I can't even imagine how good he was in his 20s/prime.
