When broner was at 130, could rigo have beaten him?

[Jc8804]

I would like to see everyones opinion on that

[Dagomba]

I think so, even if we don't know how Rigondeaux would perform at 130. I believe he has the skill set to make it uncomfortable for Broner as he was an inexperienced fighter at 130 and wasn't as confident as he was with his KO reel at 135.

[SlySlickSmooth]

Not sure, I am highly positive that Broner has the power to KO Rigo at that weight class. If plodding Donaire got close enough to land sloppy and drop Rigo, I would hope Broner would catch him with his fast hands.

It really depends how well Broner can move his feet, and before anyone talks about his footwork, just stop. I don't get how people can't tell he's adopted a pro style..

[Prince Mongo]

No question Rigondeaux would have beaten him. I can see Rigondeaux beating top boxers several weight classes above him with a weight disadvantage. I don't think many people realize just how spooky good he is.Broner is very very good bur Rigondeaux is a phenom.

[The Big Dunn]

Rigo is not somebody you put a 22-23 yr old broner in against, even with a weight advantage.

[PAC-BOY]

Paulie outclassed Broner....so no!

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

Broner is MUCH bigger than Rigo and we've never seen Rigo above 122...this is kind of weird.

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

Paulie outclassed Broner....so no!

Perhaps you are overstating the outcome of that fight? Paulie showed us that Broner may not be the killer many thought he was...but he in no way 'outclassed' him.

That fight would give Rigo the platform to be more exciting since people claim he boring. It's a toss-up fight

[Collie]

Broner would be way bigger than Rigo. Broner was massive at 130 and doesn't look out of place at 147, whereas Rigo is a career 122lber who doesn't rehydrate much come fight night. I think Rigo would have the skills but Broner would certainly have the power to get the KO so it'd be a question of could Rigo avoid Broner's shots for 12 rounds? It's very hard to know really
