Do you think Mayweather exhibited more skill against Canelo than Rigo against Donaire

[damit305]

Yeah....probably is I feel bad for the guy. His promoter doing terrible with him. What kinda promoter talks so badly bout his own fighter?

A scumbag for one. I remember Gamboa desperately asking for a Juanma Lopez fight. What happened to Lopez? Got brutalized by a Gamboa leftover in Salido.

People wonder why Rios was at the shit end of the stick when Gamboa decided to call it quits with Top Skank, although it's arguable that he should have stayed with Arum.

Nope I'll keep my eye on it though. Hope its Kiko Martinez.

Easy money.

They both put on Class in session type of fights but the difference was their opponents made different mistakes. Donaire just was baffled by Rigo's lateral movement angles and surprised by his power and got gun shy. Canelo on the other hand had elements of those same issues minus feeling the power and gun shyness but also he had the dumbest gameplan in the history of gameplans...Out boxing Mayweather wtf was he thinking.

If Canelo's plan wasn't so ****ty i would have definitely favored the Floyd performance, because it was as flawless as it gets. Although Floyd was the favorite in his fight, and Rigo the underdog he still got dropped of that clinch in his fight so there is a blemish on that fight. So i cant really decide.

Let us be clear Floyd was skillful. Rigo was a runner.

They both have great speed but they used it differently.

Great question. I was about to make a similiar thread but you beat me to it.

Both were great performances. Both were vs 'heavier' opponents. Both were masterclass one sided beatings.

However, Donaire was the favorite as opposed to Canelo being the underdog.

Combine this with the fact that Rigo was coming in with very little pro exp makes that win a notch better.

Viva La Rigolution!

Nice post.

I agree, Rigo's performance versus Donaire was a tick better. That said, I think Floyd's the most skilled boxer in the world. Some people favor Rigo, but I just don't see it. Maybe if Guille had several more years of professional experience to sharpen his already formidable tools. If you love pure boxing skill, both are a pleasure to watch.

What's wrong with these imbeciles?

JK.... Mayweather has a track record that speaks for itself.

Rigondeaux has the potential to prove to the world that he can have similar results.

I would love to say "it's up to his promotion" but I'm afraid it's much deeper that that for my Cuban fighters. smh
