    That Lara's "In his weightclass".

    We know that Jr Middlweight isn't his weight class.

    As for who I think would win I think Mayweather would win relatively easily. Against Lara.

      Now Floyd is an actual opponent who would capitalize on Rigondeaux's tendency to paw with the jab.

        ok, yeah i totally agree that jr mid isnt floyd's weightclass and he just goes up for huge money with huge name fighters,,,

        But i do think if he were to fight lara next, it would be a really tough fight for him due to the size and reah disparity and lara does have good skills, so i dont think that floyd would win with the relative ease that you think he would

          He paws with the jab on purpose to draw counters and to occupy opponents lead hand.

          Mayweather does it too sometimes but not as much as being orthodox he has a better angle to throw a more conventional jab

            That I know, wouldn't refute that but that itself wouldn't work against Floyd, Floyd would have a field day. Floyd in the lower weight classes, his best punch was arguably the left hook, he would prepare for that. His lead/ counter left hook isn't one dimensional like Donaire's, he can throw it from any range not solely close.

              Would definitely have some issues as the smaller man against a guy with the skills Lara has but I just don't see Mayweather outboxed by Lara and that's the only way he's winning.

                Yeah, the problem i see lara having is that he wont be busy enough,, He may like sugar shane have that one moment vs floyd but over a 12 round fight, i dont think he will be busy enough to outpoint floyd

                  If it wasnt working Rigo would adapt i reckon. Thats what makes this so interesting is that neither guy would keep doing something which wasnt working.

                  Two great boxing brains

                    In a pure chess fight, Rigondeaux would beat Floyd. But, Floyd has the versatility to control a fight to his advantage. I think he'd find a way to force Rigondeaux to fight on the inside, it wouldn't be an easy task because of Rigondeaux's near perfect footwork, but if anyone can exploits a few simple mistakes in Rigondeaux's style, it's Floyd.

                      Rigo is better P4P. Especially because he is a southpaw and that left hand of his is like a missile.
