If Rigondeaux was a welterweight, could he outbox Mayweather?

    Mayweather would take advantage of Rigondeaux's pawing (measuring) with the jab, he has the left hook to capitalize on it.

      Floyd hasn't even the balls to fight Lara who hypothetically is a watered down Rigo.

      If Rigo was blown up to Floyds size and lost 80% of his godliness you'd be left with Lara.

      Floyd only fights flat-footed guys these days since Roach claimed his legs had gone
      I think calling Lara a watered down Rigondeaux is disrespectful to Rigondeaux, Lara squares up, goes into a shell, doesn't do directional feints/ or feints in general and he doesn't get under punches. The only thing they have in common is both are southpaws, fight from a distance and are Cubans if that matters

        yea. rigo could be right in front of u one minute, then gone the next in another. just a minor step back, but it mase u miss your whole shot and re adjust. lara isnt that. he moves well, but hes constantly moving, much more wasted movement than either floyd or rigo. and thats because he doesnt do those other things. good defensive boxer but nowhere near great

          Rigos win over Donaire ****s on every one of Floyds win and he's tested at p4p elite Level,Floyd fights over the hill flat footed guys with no heart,he only fights guys he knows he can beat...hence why he would never fight Pac

            Yes, I think a giant Rigo would win a close fight.

              I wouldn't be shocked at all if he did.

                    I honestly think Floyd would defend well against Rigo with his one shot at a time... He wouldnt bother chasing down the fleet of foot Rigo he would just defend and counter

                      Rigondeaux is better than Floyd defensively. Similar to how Whitaker is better than Floyd defensively
