Would Floyd actually outbox Rigondeaux p4p?

[Bushbaby]

They are forgetting that it's not even about who wins a fight straight out, it's about who would outbox the other and Floyd couldn't outbox Zab Judah for crying out load, he had to get in his chest.

I don't know what you're saying. I know I'm saying if Rigo and Floyd were the same size and fought, Rigo would win. Whether by outboxing him or stopping him.

And that's what people fail to realize. His foot speed isn't all that, at all. His upper body movement is, but his foot speed isn't all that.

When guys come in on him, he clinches on, and sneaks in body shots. He's not some elusive beast like Rigo. Not even close.

Oh, well I won't claim to know the outcome of a fight between these to demi-gods. All I know is that if Floyd tried to box Rigo he would lose. That's why Ducketts is such a moron, moaning and insulting me about something I said then immediately took back. I'd favour Rigo but I don't know for sure, none of us do. BTW I think Lara would make Floyd look pretty bad at this stage.

floyd would not lead in this fight.....rigo would get broken down by the jab alone.

Come on man, Floyd is a defensive God. I'm not gonna put him down because I think Rigo would beat him. Floyd is the best of his Era in my eyes(I know Bushbaby thinks its B-Hop) But this is Rigo's Era now.

Really? Who has Floyd faced that was held in as high esteem as Donaire was when rigo fought him? Go ahead, ill wait......

Not trying to get involved in your back and forth here but Diego Corrales was considered to be quite dangerous when Mayweather fought him and a whole lot of people picked Corrales to win that one. Corrales was a real problem back then for anybody and undefeated at the time.

Oh yeah, no doubt, Floyd's pretty good at defense. I'm just pointing out things that Floyd couldn't use on Rigo.

That calm movement, waiting for the opponent to rush you style, won't work on Rigo.

If they were the same weight class, Floyd would totally be outclassed. He'd look ******.

No, actually I don't think B-Hop is the era's greatest. I think he's the greatest active fighter.

Oh of course. But IMO ( and thats all I am ever saying) Donaire is better than Corrales. Well at least he was, he fought a lazy fight against Vic, like his heart isn't in it anymore
