    Rigo is great but Floyd has beaten 17 world champs and went 24 pounds above where he started, some people don't appreciate what they seeing.

      I wasn't talking about accomplishments, I was talking about pure boxing skills.

        I definitely think they both have ATG boxing ability but Floyd has done it much longer against a much better competition, if Rigo was fighting the best at 126 I think it would be comparable to Floyd but he has had 12 fights against Donaire and so so guys at 122 so of course he looks better. I'll make the same argument with your guy and it's just reality, it's easy to look good against lesser competition.

          He's a more credible opponent than Khan, Alexander or Garcia. And I'm a Mayweather fan.

          Khan- only makes sense financially.
          Alexander- Joke all around.
          Garcia- hasn't fought above 140 yet.

          Whether or not Lara would win is one thing, but whether or not the fight should be made is another. His style poses an interesting match up.
          Disagrees. Khan is a bigger joke than Devon.

              always like Lara but I almost gave up on him because i felt like he was blowing winnable fights, was kinda frustrating tbh. even picked angulo to beat him by SD...thought he blew the fight against Williams, and thought he fought in a horrible way against Vanes. lara had experience gap over vanes, and he fought like an am...but now, I think he deserves another look....he should get some credit for staying in that fight and doing damage himself...it was a comeback of sorts i guess. It's new for him as far as I've seen. I think he has a bit of an edge emerging in him now, so I'm interested to see i'm right or wrong on that. any additional passion in these close fights should put him over the top. him vs canelo is a top fight.

                  He has great tools, very good reach, the attributes are there physically but he isn't well schooled at fighting from close quarters, doesn't mix up his attack as much as he should (This is a serious problem IMO) and doesn't throw enough. He's good enough to deal with plenty of fighters but he doesn't beat Canelo and definitely not Floyd.

                    His guard doesn't allow for close in-fighting. He takes everything on the arms and just looks to either create space or roll out. He's one of my favs but he's pretty one-dimensional.
