What's the difference between how rigondeaux fought donaire and how mayweather fought

[Larry the boss]

Rigo -
129 / 396 Total 33 %
56 / 220 Jab 25 %
73 / 176 Power 41 %

Mayweather -
232 / 505 Total 46 %
139 / 330 Jab 42 %
93 / 175 Power 53 %

That there, threw more ... landed more. Also Mayweather didn't even look in trouble for half a sec.

Add in Canelo vs Donaire stats and you have your answer..... Mayweather was offensive and at times initiated and stood with Canelo.....Rigo did neither of those things except for a few seconds maybe.

True floyd was ALOT more offensive and even walked the bigger man down...but both looked amazing in the ring

Lol just because you come forward with a high guard doesn't mean your doing anything. I don't care about compubox stats rigondeaux was hurting donaire Floyd wasn't hurting Canelo.

Floyd also didn't get knocked down like Rigondeaux did.

difference is about 70 million dollars

There was a stone difference do you even get that ?

You started a legit thread and then it turns out your just a fanboy playing my boy did better , they both great boxers kid , but if you don't understand weight you cant see a fight for what it is .

Both are boring inside the ring!

Rigo was just small & don't speak English! Below 126 lbs is not sellable to general US audience esp if u don't speak English.

Floyd was more known, he brags, he trash, he do ****** stuff, He promised & lies! American buy this! You can see in American tv, Divorce crt, Talk shows MTV reality etc, it sells.

I don't know Cuba. I was more entertained by rigo-donaire than may-Canelo or Guerrero.

I was making a general comment about the fighters, not the fights in question. I should've stuck to the stated subject. Nonetheless, Floyd and Rigo are boxing maestros whose styles are only superficially similar. The fights weren't fought the same way.

Personally, I found the Rigo-Donaire fight more entertaining. But it's nearly impossible for me to be objective about that fight. I was too emotionally vested in the result. I was there live and watched the fight three more times since. I thought it was a masterpiece, only slightly marred by the KD off the clinch. It was a great victory for Cuban boxing. How could I not love that? lol

Please show me these combinations.

Watch the fight you lazy ****. They even have slow motions of them inbetween the rounds.

Wrong. Floyd and Rigo didn't do the same thing. Rigo waited until Donaire threw something to create some type of offense. Because Donaire barely threw anything, it was a boring fight.
.

So Rigo didn't use his lead right hook at all in that fight?

You're so biased on this subject, "Oracle," you should just stay out of it. One guy schooled your boy, the other snubbed your bigger boy. Whether they're boring or not, Mayweather and Rigo are number one and two in the boxing skills department. Hard to appreciate, I know, when you're not really a fan of boxing.

Rigondeaux is more of a technical fighter than Mayweather (not better). He often looks mechanical. Against Donaire that style was perfect. In all honesty, Rigondeaux doesn't change his style from fight to fight. He'll change how aggressive he is but you're seeing the same thing. When he's on he's on. But we've seen him put on some stinkers also... Not so much lately. Mayweather adjusts almost every single fight. He can stand and trade or he can use effective movement. Neither one of those fights were boring but the people in the losers bracket tend to call it that. I guess calling Mayweather and Rigondeaux boring make them feel better about themselves.
