    I don't think he's underrated (by proper boxing fans), skill wise he's right up there with PBF and SOG.

    He just isn't entertaining inside or outside the ring. Boxing is a spectator sport and casuals who probably represent 95% of boxing fans just won't appreciate the skills. They want KOs!

      lol what a ridiculous post... Donaire is a knockout king ... ko'ing champions in unification bouts and ko'ing top tens in his own weight class with tremendous speed,counter punching and power for his size.. the guy was a wrecking machine and now all of a sudden he's garbage???? people forget they claimed Donaire was going to blow Rigo away simply because Rigo was kd'd shortly before the fight...

      Rigo took an extremely powerful,skilled and fast guy to school.. the biggest win in boxing for a really long time... nobody has a win like that ,not pac,not mayweather nobody

      and the best part was how one sided it was.. Rigo is without a doubt the best boxer alive

        Omar Narvaez aka Mr Flyweights is also under rated quite a bit.
        Gonzalez may very well be an ATG in the making. He is definitely underappreciated, even among boxing fans.

        I don't know about Narvaez though. He deserves credit for longevity and has some ok wins, but his non-effort in the biggest fight of his career (Donaire) was disgraceful.

          I wouldn't say underrated because anyone who knows Boxing knows how good he is. His problem is that he's not marketable.

            He's not underrated, he's under appreciated.

            If only Cuba would relax and open up a little more, there are signs, thankfully, that this is starting to happen, and when it does we'll start to see more gifted fighters lighting up the pro ranks.

            Rigo is a special talent indeed.

                Ignore him. He's a Floyd mayweather conspiracy theorist. The whole world revolves around Floyd mayweather to him. Him and his fans are the blame for everything. Crazy, I know.

                  I've seen a lot of people say he would beat a prime Manny Pacquaio so no I don't think he's underrated.

                    He's not underrated, he beat one great fighter and now he's considered a god.

                      I really like the bold. I think there's a lot of truth to it. Or maybe it was just huge to us. lol
