Is Rigondeaux THE most underrated boxer out there?

[CubanGuyNYC]

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 don't understand how anyone who reads these boards can ask if Rigo's underrated. He's just not. I've seen a few guys known to hate him and his style acknowledge "El Chacal's" quality.

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

It WAS huge, the best single win in 2013. People will appreciate it even more when Donaire beats Vetyeka and goes on to unifiy the FW division.

Donaire will be to Rigo what Darch was to him. And maybe one day the rematch will happen (though I don't hold my breath).

he is twice the fighter of andre ward. baffling how people can rate ward better than rigondeaux

It was a great win. I've seen the fight a few times. I think it rates about an 8/10 in terms of enjoyability factor. Rigo was masterful.

rigo is really only underrated on boxing boards where most of the members are younger and prefer power over skill. I had him beating Donaire and wasn't suprised that Rigo looked so good.

I wouldn't argue with anyone who has him in the top 3-5 boxers in the world.

8/10 because you are a Rigo fan. For me, a Donaire fan, it was torture. Ruined my mood for half a day, and that's about the worst a sporting event can do to me.

You wait for your guy to finally get going, the rounds are going by, and it's just not happening...

It must've ****** to be on the other end of that one. I was at the fight live, and the Donaire fans all seemed to have your reaction. As the fight wore on, they had less and less to cheer for. I've certainly seen more entertaining and competitive fights; but I thought that, from an objective standpoint, the fight was pretty enjoyable...if you appreciate pure boxing skill. I think that few 122 lb fighters could've beaten Rigo that night. He was razor-sharp.

Pretty much this.

[BG_Knocc_Out]

He made a P4P fighter look like an amateur...

So did Darchinyan.. lol

Rigo is pretty much accepted as the champion of his division. Underrated may be the wrong word. If anything he has become the scapegoat for blood and guts fans that dont like technicians.
