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.
Agree/Disagree?
