    P4P Rigondeaux beats Mayweather

    First look at the intangibles of each fighter, the bolded is with out question, can argue with the others.

    Handspeed - Equal
    Defence - Rigo
    Power - Rigo
    Footwork - Rigo
    Offence - Floyd

    Floyd has always had trouble with lefties compared to orthodox fighters and the Judah fight (yes he kicked his ass in the end) is the blue print of this match up p4p. Rigondeaux is light years ahead of Zab but Zab gave Floyd lots of trouble early on with his athletic talent and movement, Rigo the master would go one further and beat Floyd. Rigondeaux on the other hand has dealt with 'speed' boxers a million times in the amateurs and it showed when he totally negated Donaire last year. I just envisage Rigo controlling the pace of the fight, Floyd having to lead and trying straight rights while Rigo moves him around the ring with his superior footwork and potshots with his own left. Floyd wouldn't be able to come forward recklessly either because Rigo can crack and his shoulder roll defence is also completely nullified by Rigo's stance.

    rigo is amazing but i have a hard time understanding why people think Judah gave Floyd such a hard time, i think that its overrated, he landed some good shots and was competitive for 3 rounds but its highly overrated. and floyd does not only do the shoulder roll and he damn sure doesnt do it much vs lefties

    if rigo was in floyds weight class that would be a great fight i really dont know who wins

      rigo doesnt have more power then floyd

      rigo is a boxing textbook

      floyd has waaaaaay more intangibles. rigo does everything to a tee by the book. floyd you can't replicate how he fights, its in his blood. floyd can ****, even tho he mostly boxes smart

          You can't be serious, Lara is Rigo lite lite lite!! Lara himself would probably admit to that.

                Handspeed- Even
                Defense- Definitely Floyd
                Offense- Floyd
                Power- Rigo
                Footwork- Floyd
                Intellect- Floyd

                Rigodeaux got knocked on his ass and caught by punches that were blatantly ****** to get caught by. He can't fight inside and his clinch game is weak.

                  Floyd the best ever is too good of a fighter and nobody from this era or any era there may be can beat him. He's just too good.
