This weekend we witnessed the Mayweather effect

[RespekonMyName]

I understand your point, but Floyd is fighting waaaayyy bigger dudes. Hatton was the last dude who was his size and Floyd dropped him.

[Ray*]

To be fair, Rigo is well over 30, so he clearly isn't getting any bigger.

Probably over 40 years old...

[New England]

mayweather fights much better fighters than a retired joseph agbeko.

Ah here we go.

Prior to the fight not one person claimed Agbeko was shot. Now all of the sudden he is.

you can either recognize that the man rigo fought on saturday is of a lower tier than a typical mayweather opponent or not. i don't care what your biases are, dude. you can be wrong, a fanboy, and it won't bother me.


only a fan boy would try to assert that the agbeko rigondeaux fought is on the level of a typical mayweather opponent.

if he wasn't shot, then what was he?
do you even know what a "shot fighter" means? serious question.

[MODAPHUKA]

Agbeko isn't shot. But I would put Cotto , Marquez , Mosley , Hatton , even drained old DLH and even one dimentional Canelo a level above Abeko.

It did not surprise me one bit seeing Agbeko extra cautious anf completely lost in the ring. He wasnt fighting Abner Mares in there. The guy actually moves and hits as hard as a mule.

When did I say that? FOH

Agbeko is shot? So Rigo had nothing to do with it right?

I believe it the accuracy and the technique allows Mayweather to deliver punch powerfully. You either can be lumbering around with power or be throwing punches skillfully to achieve the same effect.

To be fair both Rigondeaux and Mayweather usually cause their opponents punch output to go down. Rigondeaux with power and great technique and Mayweather with accuracy and timing. Yeah it was a surprise to see Agbeko's output go down that much. However, when your trainer is bad mouthing in the middle of a fight that tells me he wasn't doing any of what he was being asked to do. Rigondeaux hits harder but he's also putting alot into his punches yet you don't see him dropping people left and right. Yes people fight him a little bit more cautiously but you could say the same thing about Mayweather once they see his accuracy and timing. Everyone know Mayweather only punches hard enough to keep people at bay. Every once in awhile he might go for a KO but if he doesn't get it right away, he goes right back to boxing (pot shotting) and winning.

I think from Donaire and Agbeko, I think Rigo has dropped every one of his opponents. He didn't drop Donaire but did **** his eye up.

Like you said, Mayweather might not get KDs or KOs but you could tell his punches hurt his opponents. He had Canelo hurt a couple of times.
