    Wtf do you mean raw talent? He was born in a communist country and lived in a boxing school with dozens upon dozens of other talent.

    Sure he had talent, but being well schooled was a huge factor.

    Raw talent is something like Manny Pacquiao, some small asian kid who turned pro at 16 and somehow got to become named P4P #1 who is critically acclaimed of only being a three-punch combo one trick pony as well as being in the same era as another P4P #1 in the same weight class who some argue that he is the greatest (defensive) fighter of all time.

      "Talant" is important but Rigondeaux wasn't born with a silver spoon he has worked really fking hard to achieve what he has. But if he stays p4p through his career he is without a doubt going to be the best cross over amateur to pro boxing fighter of all time. To win two gold medals and then turn pro and be unified champ by 12 fights it's already some crazy **** if he keeps it up he is going to have his name etched in the history of pro boxing as well as the amateurs. Long live RIgo! lol

          Mention one other name with his success in both games lets be honest most amateur fighters dont amount to **** as pro's just really talented ones do and i dont see nobody in the pro's for now standing up to Rigondeaux's dominance you dont have to be a reality tv hoe to be recognized as a fighter with a great pro career.

              If u really need me to answer that, u haven't been watching boxing very long. Either that or u don't know the history if boxing very well.

                Nope and Mayweather has shown he's a much more versatile fighter, both Offensively and defensively.

                  Mention somebody who has won 2 olympic gold medals and has achieved p4p greatness as a pro them 2 ****s are not easy winning 2 gold medals usually would mean too old to adjust to being pro anyways.Go for it big boy mention one ill wait there are plenty of champs who started as olympians medalists but not 2 time gold level and with the ATG career Rigo has had as an amateur is the combination of both things that would be pretty unique to him if he keeps it up .

                  That being said the guy says in every fight he is trying to improve as a pro he is the first one to say he don't got the pro **** figured out yet. I think this Floyds comparison in the pro game at 13 fights unified p4p champ or not are pretty ******. I REPEAT only 13 frikking fights and people wanna compare..... thats like comparing Floyd to Rigondeaux as an amateur in his Olympic qualifiers.
