      Maybe but he's better than any win on floyds resume... he's an ultra fast counter puncher with an abundance of power and amazing footwork... and Floyds best win is??????

          He would box, he would press the action, he would show different looks and yes I think he would have his hands raised at the end.

            Better than any win on Floyd's resume????

            Holy crap , now I've seen it all.

            Anyways.....

            Rigo can outbox anyone going backwards.

            Floyd can do it while going backwards if his opponent is being too aggressive. And he can also pot shot and pick an opponent apart the same exact way but moving forward. Which I havent seen Rigo do yet. I've been saying that I think he is more than capable of doing it. But some people say he doesn't need to , his health , or that he can't , blah blah blah. I still don't agree. So lets see if know I'm told that he could , by those same people.

              Donaie had trouble opening guys up, Narvaez for example he won that fight easily because Narvaez didn't have enough juice to make it wok. Narvaez isn't bad but Rigondeaux is superior, Rigondeaux to that point had never fought a complete fight so it was debatable that he could do the task but Donaire was vulnerable and shown to be a very simple fighter. I don't think he has amazing footwork at all and he could get outmanuevered~


              I would say Canelo from a boxing skills standpoint is better than Donaire, Donaire has speed and power which makes him dangerous even if figured out and dude is a quality fighter better than Canelo (all things considered) but he was on an ebb as he fell in love with his power and Rigondeaux has the tools to take apart guys who are looking for power shots. I would say is Donaire is equal to Chico

                I think Floyd is the better athlete and has more options in the ring. Rigondeaux does not hit near as hard as people are making out, he is a good puncher but loading up for hard shots is likely costly against Floyd.

                It would be a good fight if they were the exact same size (including height and reach) but Floyd just has more to his game and Rigondeaux has lapses now he would probably be on his game against Floyd so i don't think those would appear from being overconfident but I think he is the one more likely to get frustrated thus making mistakes that way and trying to make something happen.

                IF Rigondeaux was taller and more rangy than Floyd he would be a good candidate to beat him though.

                  I honestly don't know, they are that good.

                  I feel nobody will outbox Mayweather, but I feel the exact same way about trying to outbox Rigo. Rigo's counters are sharper/more powerful these days, but Mayweather at 135 was the same.

                    Love how you avoided the questions completely.. who on Floyds resume is a better fight than Nonito?

                    Donaire suffered the same problem Pacquiao did.. his opponents were aware of his dangerous counter punching so were reluctant in leaving any openings and anyone that did try to fight fire with fire ended up getting splattered... I still can't see anyone on Floyds resume that is a better p4p fighter than Donaire

                      I didn't avoid it. I ignored it. Completely different.

                      I'll answer your ****** question with this , and see if you can figure it out. There are HOF names in Floyd's resume. Some of this generations greats. You figure it out.

                      Donaire was just the best the division had to offer at the time.
