    Rigondeux

    Guillermo Rigondeux is easily the most sound fighter in the game today.

    Mayweather, and Ward are also scientist in the ring, as well as Gamboa; but Gamboa aint been doing nothing.

    Who do you think is the best technically sound fighter today?

    Rigondeaux would outbox every style doesn't duck any style even if some might think its boring. I think he would be able to win a boring UD over anyone in his weight class since the start of time. He is 33 and is probably past prime but I still don't see anyone beating him.

      Floyd Mayweather Jr. is undoubtedly the best all around fighter today but I think Rigo is the most technically sound fighter currently. Andre Ward is great as well but I'm not a fan of his spoiling/clinching/dirty tactics which sometime overshadow his brilliance in the ring IMO.

        Most technically sound fighter, Rigondeaux.

        That guy just makes everything look ridiculously easy.

          Truly one of the greatest athletes I've seen perform in any sport. Shame that he doesn't have 25-32 fights by now. Damn Cuba for not letting their athletes go pro

            Rigondeaux is better defensively than Floyd.

              Gamboa doesn't belong in that list in my opinion.
              And what Ward does, I wouldn't consider scientific/technical.
              Smart yes, but technical no... It is borderline street fighting, far from what Rigo and Floyd employs.

              Rigo vs Floyd would be a toss up, I'd go with Floyd since he is more proven across multiple weights.

                Guillermo Rigondeux is brilliant,I don't see him being beaten and it is a real pity that Arum does not get behind him like he does Lomanchenko.I rate him right up there close to Mayweather but he may well be a more complete fighter and certainly has better footwork.
                I knew he was going to beat Donaire and really deserves more support after that performance. The guy is the real deal and is obviously very special.

                  @ Gamboa being technically sound.


                  Rigondeaux is very good at what he does, but he's also very one dimensional, which is why he's such an absolute bore to watch. One paced, virtually no variety in his offence and needs the right opponent just to have a watchable bout.

                    Yh I don't see Gamboa as that technically sound. His speed masques a lot of flaws
