    From a skill for skill standpoint who do you think exhibited more? I honestly think Rigo is equal if not ahead than Mayweather skill wise. It's unfortunate he is in a lower weight category

    technically maybe, skill wise rigo doesn't come close to the skills floyd has, floyd has just about every trick/style/defence in the book, it's a long ass list of skills

    rigo is a counter-puncher, nothing more, nothing less, he has one style

      Floyd is more versatile and a much better offensive fighter. So naturally he will exhibit more skills in all of his fights.


      But Rigo fought a much better and more proven opponent who can end a fight with a single shot. He had no room for error or he could of ended up laid out flat.

        floyd barely landed anything meaningful. alvarez did better than most people give him credit for, i can see how a judge wiuld mark it a DRAW since they both had there moments throughout the whole fight . floyd ran all night from alvarez

          He is a counter-puncher....a great one at that. I think there is a lot more to Rigo. It's true he uses a particular style but I believe it's used masterfully and he would be able to just as easily change up if need be

            Floyd is a better inside and dirty fighter.

              Floyd showed better skill set,,, he is amazing with his back to the ropes and has a great arsenal of tricks and traps,,,

              Rigo is great hence why he is a top p4p guy

              but floyd is THE p4p guy

              plus donaire scored a knockdown vs rigo
              floyd was hardly touched

                Floyd can stand in the pocket, rip off body shots, and head shots, while you're frozen, then duck out the way, or move out the way.

                Rigo is a pure Cobra. Floyd is a Mongoose and a Cobra.

                  Mayweather has more skill in his pinky finger than Rigo's entire body. To make comparisons between Mayweather and Rigo is an insult.

                    i say rigo considering that he had the better opponent. but skill for skill between the two, floyd is 1 level above him.
