    Excluding Floyd/Ward, who else beats Rigo pfp and why please.

    Real $h!t, I genuinely want to know who else has a chance or clearly beats Rigo considering that they were the same size. The meaning of the term pfp. I genuinely want to know.

    How does Bradley do it,
    Pacman
    Marquez
    Wlad
    and anyone else anyone has ranked higher.

    You don't think P4P also has resume taken into account, at least a little bit??? I think Bradley beating Marquez while he was P4P #3 has a lot to do with Bradley being at 3.

      No one does that's pretty obvious. P4P list are more weighed on resume/ popularity than actual h2h match ups .

        Pacquiao hurts him and finishes him within 6. Mayweather would probably lose since he relies on boxing as well and Rigo is a better/more pure boxer than Floyd, and he doesn't take unnecesary risks. Marquez wouldn't be able to touch him now at 40. Bradley wouldn't beat him either.

        Golovkin would smash him too and bad. I believe Thurman would beat him as well. Maidana would trouble him too. It's not really about P4P talent that can beat him, it's more about styles.

        Any fighter with dynamic movement, great speed and power in both hands stands a good chance at beating Rigo. Rigo just hides behind his defense which makes him unreachable (and boring as hell), fighters who get inside his safe zone will destroy him. Like it happened when Donaire caught him inside and another fighter who as soon as he touched Rigo he went down.

        In order for Rigo to be good and effective, he needs to be in control. He create a safe zone where he operates from and keeps you at distance. He can protect that zone well. Invade the zone though and Rigo becomes vulnerable.

          According to "who" exactly? And since when? Since when does being popular result in top pfp ranking. Or even resume for that matter?

          Khan beat Maidana years ago, but I'm willing to wager that ElChino destroys him right now.

          Margarito beat Martinez years ago, but who'd win if they fought 2 years ago?

          Sure pfp have become the uneducated boxing fan's popularity contest. But make no mistake, that is not the real meaning of pfp.

            Lets see how Rigo does moving up in weight fighting bigger guys, until then I withhold my opinion.

              pacquiao has the foot/hand speed along with the power to shock rigondeaux

              would be funny see'ing rigo's face when he attempts his usual fleet-footed stutter steps backwards to gain the right distance and pacquiao is right their ontop of him with the jab jab and a straight left that strikes like lightning

              tough fight though

              rigo beats a donaire who against much lesser competition showed time and time again he couldn't lead and a scared agbeko and somehow rigo has done it all, rigo doesn't like to lead, he faces a long opponent who touches him and fights at a distance and he's in serious trouble as i can see him dropping rounds with his lack of risk taking, so i think a pfp guy like wlad has a good chance, wlad is fast and athletic for a 6'6 heavyweight, no doubt he'd be a flashy force in the lower classes

              who else, can't think of one right now

              also ward can take some rounds with his inside game, making rigo really work, another tough fight

                  You've seen what happens when Pacman faced a very good counterpuncher. Rigo's that much better than Marquez.

                    You have a need to be right about everything 100% of the time, and for everyone to agree with you all the time, 100%. It's sad really.

                    No one does, but P4P is more of a resume thing it seems.
