Would Floyd actually outbox Rigondeaux p4p?

let me break it down for you
1. Rigo is a great fighter, clearly top 3 p4p, but he is one dimensional,, he stands his ground and lets guys come to him, he evades shots and counters brutally, and makes guys gunshy ie donaire, agebako
2. Rigo has yet to prove that he can counter another boxer that doesnt come straight in, I have yet to see rigo on his toes with any type of consistent movement like a hopkins or floyd have done many times
3. Floyd is much more versatile,, he can lay back and counter, or he can walk guys down, he can fight off the ropes, he can trap guys on ropes, he can move and potshot, or stand his ground and trade in the pocket,, Rigo is fantastic at what he does, but he is not as versatile as floyd.. Look at lara and how he looks vs trout, hearns, vanes, williams, he looks great, but give him movement like molina did, and he looks very ordinary,, same thing with Rigo, give him movement and not a stationary target, and you will see rigo's flaws, namely foot movement when it comes to tracking down guys,, Rigo would not be nearly as dominant when faced with a mover,, Much like how JMM is great counter puncher but struggled badly vs floyd because of the movement, you cant counter what isnt there
4. Rigo would be more competitive than jmm was vs floyd, but the result would be the same, floyd by decision in a close competitive fight. I just dont see a guy that makes his bread by countering being able to out-counter and land on floyd with any consistency to take 7 rounds or more
5. I have said for a long time now, that rigo would carve up everyone around 122, but the only guy i see him having problems with is a guy like chemito moreno who can move and potshot,,, Chemito didnt have enough skills to keep mares off him, but rigo wont attack like mares does, and i could see rigo setting up shop in the middle of the ring and chemito working the outside and potshoting his way to victory, or at least a very close loss to rigo.. Now floyd is much better than chemito, so i figure that floyd would be able to pull a 115-113 victory over rigo, in a very boring fight, but floyd would be able to potshot and not get countered as much as a doniare or agebakoComment

Yes But Trout does not fight tall.
Keep in mind i said that floyd knows how to fight tall. Every fighter doesnt know how to best use their advantages. Thats why floyd is #1 because he does all the little things that people dont always notice.Comment

LOL..
What? Floyd can dance all day in the ring if he wants, his foot speed is the best. His balance is also impeccable which is why he will never fall on his ass like the stiff Rigo. Floyd can have his legs parellel get rocked and his chin and feet will hold up as was seen in the Mosley fight.
You saying clinching like its a bad thing, is it because when Rigo did it he was embarrassingly sat down because its a big hole in his game. He better keep dancing on the outside.. Floyd can stand in front of you and not get hit, just stay in defensive mode he not getting hit. Also Floyd with much more fights and more rounds, stats show he gets hit less and hit his opponents more.. Lol he has +35 difference between hit for and hit against.. That's insane!!Last edited by Wokingman; 12-09-2013, 04:42 PM.Comment
