Rigo is a great fighter, but please show me some clips of him walking anyone down or even pressing the fight..Floyd is very defensive but he throws WAY more punches then Rigo and walks his opponents down..Plus he has moved up 5 divisions won 4 lineal titles and 10 world titles...so HE HAS EARNED WHAT HE HAS

Heres the couple clips you asked for.
And actually floyd does not throw WAY more punches at all actually their numbers for their last big fight especially the power punches are astoundingly similar, and this was a fight that Floyd was praised for pressing the action so they should be even closer in past fights.
Like you said Floyd has had 40+ fights and almost two decades to earn all that he has and he well deserves it. Rigondeaux has had 4 years and nobody can complain for a guy who turned pro at almost 30 he is not doing too bad. The real biggest difference between both boxing wise not the other obvious ones (english barrier persona time etc) is that Floyd has mastered his pro style to make his opponent look ****** when he does land on them, and has also mastered how to press them when they choose not to engage .
Rigondeaux has not figured out how to passively press like Floyd does pot shotting etc he can press but when he does it's usually when he is going for the k.o., because he has lost all respect. Mostly if his opponent is frustrated, and doesn't want to engage he doesn't have a way yet to land on them easily like Floyd does. All Rigondeaux does in such cases is throw bait jabs and hope they bite, but if he can figure another way to land clearly when his opponent is frustrated without having to depend on b/s bait jabs that would be good for him.Last edited by DannYankee; 02-05-2014, 08:33 PM.Comment

The only reason Floyd lands more is because his opponents do not fear his power or lack there of. Rigo on the other hand hits really hard and once his opponents realize this and then you add on the fact that he himself has the best defense. His foes just go into the turtle shell defense, which makes for a boring fight. Trust me if Rigo didn't hit so hard his opponents would chase him around the ring just like they do to Floyd and it would be much more exciting.Comment

He has a bomb in his straight left
And left uppercut.

Floyd would have to dog him to winComment
