Would Floyd actually outbox Rigondeaux p4p?

Rico Ramos? Who. Debate over!

Rigo's 12th fight you moron, not 9th.

I'm sorry, but rigo would tear that ass up. Rigo is actually quicker than floyd and his response time is better than floyds. How can floyd handle that speed and quickness?

Last time Floyd fought a quick southpaw was in the Judah fight. We know how that fight was going. Unfortunately Zab is a mental midget.

I'm not saying Rigo wins but to say Floyd destroys Rigo is foolish. Zab is also more straight forward than Rigo.

rigo would outbox him to a UD, could also ko him

Oh of course. But IMO ( and thats all I am ever saying) Donaire is better than Corrales. Well at least he was, he fought a lazy fight against Vic, like his heart isn't in it anymore

That's fair, im a Donaire fan and I agree with everything you just about him aside from him being better than Corrales that is. Corrales was my favorite fighter to watch ever though, that's why I quoted your other post and brought him up.

No he wouldnt,, rigo is a one dimensional counter puncher,, fantastic as he is, he doesnt possess the wide array of skills that floyd does,,, Rigo cant walk people down as good as floyd, hasnt faced the pressure fighters that floyd was dealt with ie hatton, JLC,
Rigo has 2 great wins, while floyd has about 40 of them..
Floyd would figure out rigo after 5 or 6 rounds, then win on points,, Rigo is too one dimensional IMO



Chico was a beast that has more quality wins than donaire,, Chico beat JLC, casamoyer, freitas, which is way better than any of donaire's wins


Gatti was a garbage win for floyd,,, floyd's best wins are over chico, genaro, jlc, hatton, oscar, canelo,,

Logic always prevails.

Prime for prime, I'd take Floyd. It's debatable whether Floyd has slowed enough at this point where Rigo would be sharper and faster enough to pull the decision win. It's sure as hell not an easy answer either way.

1 poster agrees with you out of about 20. And none are the usual Floyd haters so what your excuse?

And that's what people fail to realize. His foot speed isn't all that, at all. His upper body movement is, but his foot speed isn't all that.

When guys come in on him, he clinches on, and sneaks in body shots. He's not some elusive beast like Rigo. Not even close.

Which Floyd are you talking about. Yes this one has noticeably slowed in foot speed whether it be physical decline or a change in his art's philosophy, but Floyd at the lower classes 130 could float.

They are talking about the Floyd that always looks bad to them while they use the Rigo where Rigo looked dominating. You didn't know how it goes here when it comes to Floyd's critics.

No, I don't think Floyd could outbox Rigo, these Cubans just have an amazing boxing IQ. However, Floyd is more versatile and would figure out early on he'd have to use different tactics to fight him, it would be an extremely close contest. On a P4P scale, Rigo is possibly the only guy who could beat Floyd IMO.
