    He is not overrated, he is underrated and a lightning fast boxer-puncher with great power to the head and body and a great defense. I rate him as the 2nd best pfp fighter right behind GGG and just ahead of the aging but still great Mayweather. If Rigo was a natural welterweight I believe he would beat Mayweather or Pacquiao. 122 pounders don't get the attention welterweights do but he is a younger better fighter than they are. Not by much but enough better to win a close fight in my opinion.

      Are you using triangle theories, sir?
      Walters' superior power, superior pro experience and superior size means nothing to you?

        He is undefeated? Yes, but who did he fight? Nonito, Sod and next fight - Hisashi. All Asian boxers who lost when they stepped up in opposition.

        Rigo has yet to prove himself at world level. Now, I see him as a very skilled boxer, but who is old, small, got average power and not exactly a Froch-chin. Rigo is an Asian level fighter, until he proves otherwise.

        Nicholas Walters showed how Nonito should be handled, why don't Rigo step up in class and fight Nicholas Walters? If Rigo were to win (which he wouldn't), he would go from Asian level to World level.

        Get him out of your P4P lists until he fights Walters, he doesn't belong there right now.
        Washed Nonito Donaire, when everyone had Donaire top 5 p4p. You add the back-to-back gold medals and I'm not sure what you're talking about

          he's a great fighter, but his inability to move up in weight and the lack of credible opponents are going to eventually make him obscure.

            Even if Rigo WAS top 5, including Walters in the top 5 would be slightly autistic. I'm not following any of the logic here.

            Rigo is overrated (in many people's view including mine). Simply because he lacks quality wins outside of Donaire.

            But I still don't see how Walters fits in the equation. Was it his jab that impressed you? I think you'd have to make the distinction between critiquing a fighter for his wins as opposed to his stylistic qualities.

              My god people on here are actually
              Lol, you are so ******ed it is kinda funny.

              Walters was asked about fighting Rigo, and said no. Is this too difficult to understand for your handicapped mind? ******.

              And if we are talking about why Rigo is not trying to fight Walters, why Rigo is ducking Walters like the OP claims, then obviously one would say because, Walters is the one not interesting, as proven by his own words. This is not difficult to understand, if you can read. Uneducated dumbass.

              Yes Loma has 4 fights, but only a ignoramus would not realise he is also one fo the best in the division and wants to fight Walters, one of the other best fighters. Context is tough for handicapped ppl.

              Lol you are one dumb fug. Keep embarrassing yourself plz.

                1 - Donaire was overrated, it happens
                2 - This is pro boxing, not amateur boxing. Look what happened to Lomachenko against Salido.

                    Canelo was badly hurt by Cotto's garbage, blown up brother and Angulo who is a legit puncher at 154 couldn't hurt him.

                    Your logic is flawed, find a new sport imo.
