Would Floyd actually outbox Rigondeaux p4p?

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

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 wouldComment

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 jabComment

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.Comment

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

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 floydComment

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.That I know, wouldn't refute that but that itself wouldn't work against Floyd, Floyd would have a field day.

Two great boxing brainsComment

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.Comment
