      what? Make Mayweather Rigo's size and he would whoop Rigo. A green 130 Mayweather was more impressive

          Chin-Floyd

          I doubt p4p Rigo has more power than Floyd. As Floyd moved up he didn't carry is power with him

            Definitely a tough fight for either man but Floyd is clearly the all around better fighter. He can fight on the inside unlike Rigo and throws various different looks at his opponents both offensively and defensively.

                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.

                Agree/Disagree?
                why do people assume people cant improve? Zab didnt give him the problems you suggest but even if he did, Floyd has gotten way better against Southpaws. Way better. People want to keep bringing up fights from years ago. Its like Paulie said, people keep talking about the JLC fights like Floyd is the same guy he was back then. He's not. That same stuff is not going to work on him now. Its like saying Rigo got dropped by bums so Floyd will destroy him. It can be used both ways. Also, please dont compare Donaire to Mayweather again. Donaire had speed but had turned into a one punch stalker by the time Rigo fought him. It wouldnt be the same fight as all against Mayweather

                  People forget chico was #3 p4p when floyd beat him so using donaire is a stretch. At lower weights floyd hit hard so id give power to floyd as well.

                    I wish we could get a dream fantasy matchup of Rigondeaux vs. Pacquiao at 122lbs.
