For another, Rigo can engage when he feels like it. Ask Willie Casey about that. The man simply prefers the counter-puncher's role.
      stop he's left hand dominant his right hook is very weak and his jab is weak.....

        Also, Rigondeaux gets stopped. Hear me out here, Mayweather's left hook in the lower weight classes was arguably better than his lead right hand, and he isn't one dimensional with it like Donaire. Rigondeaux likes to use his right hand to measure his opponent, at times pawing with it, Floyd's lead/ counter left hook would catch him.

              Two things.

              1. Rigondeaux is more skilled than Mayweather.
              2. The Mayweather at 130lbs everyone loved.

                  So I'm gonna guess that has noting to do with the punishment his opponents sustained, not solely against Mayweather but against other fighters. That has a lot to do with style as well.

                      No what it means is that Floyd hasn't thrown a meaningful punch in 6 years.
