    I think it has to do more with rigotards hyping him like he's a god and then ones he gets kid by a bum so people make fun of them, I think it has to do less with rigo and more with his fans

      And there it is.

        I don't get it either, so he gets dropped from time to time. He gets up and kicks a## after that, the guy has zero losses in the loss column.

          Rigo got a glass chin, doesn't change the fact that he's a great fighter.

            These guys haven't seen Tito Trinidad, Pernell Whitaker, Juan Manuel Marquez and numerous others fight or else they'd be calling them bums as well.
            He's not all that tbh.

            And Rigo's chin is as stable as a sandcastle. He get's knocked down by weak arm punches.

              Could you imagine the furore from the usual suspects if it was GGG that got dropped by a weak punch from a bum journeyman like that?

                Most likely because people talk about him like he's the most perfect boxer in the world. I also mention him being flat on his back more than once in his first dozen fight, but i only say it in jest to wind up the fanboys.

                The truth is that he is a very highly skilled fighter but not pefect, like anybody else he is capable of being caught and dropped, it's boxing. So he isn't a perfect fighter and has some flaws like other fighters. If he was to get knocked out, i would be surprised but not shocked at all. I think it's very possible.

                I suppose you when you look at it in context, love him or hate him, you have to admire that Floyd has fought 47 times, against some huge names and punchers yet he has never suffered a knockdown in the fashion Rigo has. That's incredible really.

                  Unique pure talent is not subtle.

                    He will get knock down if he fight enough. Especially is he go out and start fighting 6.4 boxers with an equivalent 30 to 35 lbs heavier.

                      It is a concern, one of the very, very few about Rigo, that he gets dropped as often as he does.
