Are boxing fans blind suckers?

Uhhhh...would you care to discuss his resume? He beats Donaire and then you clearly drank the kool aid.

You're Easy to please.

And for the record when Donaire got ahold of him he put him on his ass.

So no, access denied.

[Twako]

very talented yes. resume not enough to be up there.

[Shambrolic]

I agree, he needs a lot more recognition. A boxer that was knocked out cold on his face flat should never be put in the top 3.

The apparent best boxer in the world and we don't even know if he has an inside game.

I agree, he needs a lot more recognition. A boxer that was knocked out cold on his face flat should never be put in the top 3.

Rigo's been put on the floor several times in his last few fights, including the Donaire fight. It doesn't detract from his undeniable skill and him schooling Nonito. Under that same logic, Pacquiao's KO shouldn't detract from his accomplishment against Bradley.

You can't play favorites with the knock out/knock down game.

[Shambrolic]

Knockdowns and knockouts is entirely different, so it's not a pick and choose. No boxer that was considered elite have been knocked out cold except Roberto Duran and when that happened many despite him fighting on, didn't consider him on the P4P as he continue his career.

[Shambrolic]

Also in my top 5, I do not have boxers that have been hurt or knocked out. It doesn't make sense to me because that is the worst way to go out and someone defensively responsible as well as skilled should know how to handle adversity as well as smartly use what is given to survive. Abner Mares was taken off the P4P list and he haven't been knocked out as bad.

[TGD]

You have to wonder if he'll ever get the resume that he should have. No one wants to fight him, no promoter wants to put their guy in with him. They act like he doesn't exist!

[Carpe Diem]

Buying everything the networks and promoters say?

I mean, how hard is it to see this guy is the best fighter in the world?


Then you have publications like the ring magazine who put Bradley at p4p #3 until a few weeks ago and have Rigondeaux at p4p #8

It's quiet sickening really... I love Pac and Marquez and even respect Sergio a lot but at this stage none of them are anywhere near Rigondeaux p4p, the only one who has a case is Floyd Mayweather who is still in his relative prime and is a brilliant boxer.

WUT??? I hope it's a typo and you meant to write something else.

[Carpe Diem]

Yeah, Rigondeaux is arguably the best technician in the sport. It's either he's #1 or #2 behind Floyd, that's the way i see it. P4P, he definitely has a case to be higher on the list.
