    Exactly. I dont even think Mares would be able to trap Rigo.

      Good job its one of these p4p fantasy things though, he won't even fight an inferior version in his own weight class in Lara.

      Floyd always wins mystical fights.
      Said the ame $h!t yesterday. If Rigo were the size of either Ward or Floyd, I think he'd beat them both.

      All 3 prefer that slow pace. But Rigo has amazing footwork and more power than both.

        I don't know.

        Both have that 'what the **** do i do against this guy?' aura about them. Both seem to have all angles covered in terms of fighting different styles. Both are insane athletes.

        A question for a smarter man than me.

        I suppose the big question would be, who stays the counter puncher and who lets the crowds boos affect them and tries to lead?

            Rigo does not have better defense. It's arguable at best, but Floyd manages to have good D and he can be right in front of you without having to pace the entire ring, turning into somewhat of a spoiler.

              Rigo has been hurt by much bigger guys. Floyd was dropped by Judah and hurt by Mosley. He was also dropped in the amateurs.

              Having an inferior chin doesn't make a fighter any lesser. Especially if he's going H2H vs a fighter that can't hurt him. What I'm saying his, Floyd wouldn't drop Rigo. So that part of your argument is invalid.

              I can say the same about Floyd, Floyd reached when he got knocked off balance by Judah but he didn't fall on his ass like Rigondeax did when his ****ty ass clinch against plank feet Donaire was exposed. Floyd just using footwork, feints, shoulder roll and his clinch/elbow is virtually untouchable. He got clocked by Mosley because he was trying to stand toe to toe with Mosley and walk him down which he did.. He wasn't defensive in that fight like he was against Marquez who didn't even touch him.

              Floyd will beat Rigon ass.. He will walk him down.. Pot shot with feint counters. Plus Floyd always break down his opponent.. Rigondeaux don't know how to find holes in a fighter defense who isn't throwing while Floyd shows he can get around guards (Cotto,etc.)

                    Rigondeaux is a specialist in boxing and just that. Floyd is better all around and his defense is more versatile as well as his offense. Rigondeaux isn't great at clinching or inside fighting and his chin seems to be more shaky as he been hurt when someone can pierce his defense and he starts to get wild whereas Floyd will use leverage to keep opponent off balance.

                    It's obvious a lot of you started watching boxing.. Floyd has too many tricks which he don't use anymore because no one can compete with him. A Rigondeaux will show you why Floyd is a true beast. Floyd can fight southpaw as well..

                    This is why I'm calling for a Lara match..
                    right, Im saying who cares about p4p BS lets get the closest thing to
                    Rigo V May

                    Lara V May 2014
