Guillermo Rigondeaux deserves to be higher than Andre Ward P4P

[Beercules]

I bet it's funny. Rigondeaux is an amazing fighter. But Dont talk about someone getting beat up by c level fighters and ignore how sloppy he's looked against lesser opposition. And besides Donaire, rigondeaux's whole resume is full of lesser opposition.

Did anyone think Rigo lost to Marroquin? No.

Did anyone think Floyd lost to Maidana? Yes.

How many fights does Rigo have? Give it time buddy.

He wasn't hurt by Zab Judah, he was beat to the punch while off balance totally different circumstances. Zab Judah is still a better fighter than Cordoba.

Rigondeaux was hurt against Cordoba? First you say Marroquin dropped him and now Cordoba hurt him. Have you even watched these fights? Rigondeaux was caught off balance by Cordoba and his right glove briefly touched the canvas, more or less like Floyd against Judah...

And you're right Zab is a better fighter than Cordoba (not by a mile by the way) but Rigo had 6 pro fights when he fought Cordoba so it evens things up.

I did watch the fight and rigo was stunned by Cordoba. Which is why he got in his bike for the rest of the fight. What did Floyd do when Zab got him? He came straight at him and beat his pants off. See the difference? Don't come at me like I don't watch fights. The Cordoba fight was not a showcase for rigondeaux.

How many fights has Floyd had? How old is he? Nice of u to pay attention to rigos inexperience while ignoring Floyd's decline. But that's what people with agendas do. And 90% of the media scored that fight for Floyd. So did most of the fans watching as well as the judges. I'm not sure why I should care people "thought" Floyd lost. He didn't. And this was no robbery.

I agree. Rigo has a win worth a damn since the last time Ward does. I think he was FOTY last year.

Maybe you did watch Rigondeaux vs. Cordoba but you can't remember exactly what happened, because I don't see how you could say there are no similarities between the two knockdowns. They both got caught off balance (by a different punch) and their right glove touched the canvas. Flash knockdowns.

Rigondeaux was on his bike after that kd because he doesn't like to get hit and was just given an eight count. He decided to do what has been working so well for him as an amateur. What did you expect him to do with 6 pro fights? Go to war against a bigger and vastly more experienced fighter?

He knocked off a p4p guy at Radio City Music Hall in his what, 12th fight?

Rigos defense> Floyd's defense.

Floyd just gets beat up by C level fighters along the ropes

what does floyd have to do with this thread? this proves your obsession!!!

I just don't know how long we're supposed to keep Andre Ward on the mythical "p4p" lists, when he's not fighting.

We should have a time frame...

There needs to be a time frame...

Let's set a time frame...

I think if you go more than 1 year with a scheduled fight than its fair to take off list.

I'm as Rigotarded as they come and I disagree completely. If he cleans out his division like Ward did then maybe he can make a claim. The challenge is to get these guys in the ring with him though.

I'm not a rigo tard and I have rigo number one
