    Nobody in boxing right now (disregarding weight classes) would outbox Rigo IMO, that includes Ward and Floyd. If they tried engaging in a boxing match they would lose, both would have to try a different gameplan and that probably wouldn't work. Oddly enough, I'd give guys like Pacquiao and Maidana or a really good inside fighter more of a shot of beating him because they throw punches from different angles and wouldn't be discouraged to come forward. Of coarse they'd run the risk of being outclassed (like Donaire) and they'd have to take punishment to create opportunities.
    I'd agree with Maidana not being discouraged. But Pacman, he can be discouraged. He was against both Marquez and Bradley, (to a lesser extent).

      I said no one does, einstein. But P4P definitely takes into account resume, whether thats right or wrong. Thats just how it is.

            Rigo never ever clinches. His answer to inside game is to bring his head low and throw body punches. Ward might make him uncomfortable this way. Still would go with Rigo though.
            I agree, but not sure why you write off Golovkin, there's no one better at cutting off the ring and few who hit harder PFP. I'd pick Golovkin to beat Rigondeaux, over 12 he'd land the shot he needs imo.

              Pacman hurts everyone he faces. Yet he hasn't recorded a ko in how long??

              Rigo has enough power to make Donaire afraid to fight and make a fighter who is used to throwing close to 100 a round manage 30.
              Marquez went into hell back and forth against Pac. Marquez success over not only because of his counterpunching but excellent timing. Marquez has the ability to timed Pa coming in plus his ability to recover very fast when hurt or knocked down. I don't know about Rigo chin though. Let me clarify this. We should talk about Pac who is fighting similar size opponent not these Pac against bigger natural welterweights where his power is not so effective.

              Pac fought before on Rigo's weight division. Let him come up at 140 and meet Pac there and see how he performs.

                Be quit. PFP is a mythical matchup. The tread is about pfp not crazy weight jumps. Furthermore Rigo is thee timing man.

                    he was tired vs bradley, worst shape he's been for a fight coming into that, was really sucking wind by the 7th

                    vs marquez pac and co. went in with the plan to outbox marquez, didn't workout, i felt pacquiao in the 5th folded a bit mentally trying to think too much with marquez(got fed alot of fients while he was trying to play counter-puncher), he just became a come forward punching bag, but because the round was so big for marquez, the punches landed woke pacquiao up, soon after that he quit trying to counter marquez and just went in to beat on him

                    this is the guy that looked tired in his first fight at 130 by the 4th round vs morales and took bomb after bomb for 12 rounds and hurt morales in the last round, dont think he's too discourageable, but he will take it easy here and there if he knows he's winning

                    rigo hitting him as hard as he hits will just light a fire under pacquiao's ass
                    nvm that pacquiao almost always does what his corner asks of him

                      Great fighter, and I like what he did to expose Donaire, but wow is he overrated. People keep forgetting that the 37 year old Darchinyan nearly pulled off the same performance. Real talk.
