Rigondeaux-Donaire is a greater win than Mayweather-Corrales

[The Big Dunn]

i'd say they're equal.

You could not pick a winner?

Really?

I picked Rigo from the start and up until the fight and felt very good about it.

[RetroSpeed05]

I think Corrales has the better wins, Casamayor, Freitas, Castillo, Manfredy, Robert Garcia. I'm a fan of Nonito and will still root for him, but resume wise i think Corrales edges him out.

Mayweather was the underdog against Corrales while Rigondeaux vs Donaire was a 50-50 fight. Corrales was undefeated while Donaire was not. I think Donaire had more media hype than Corrales so it is seen as a bigger win. But I have to say in actuality Floyd's utter destruction of Corrales was a better win against a bigger and stronger man.

Corrales went on to beat Freitas, Casamayor and Castillo. Maybe it's me but I don't see how that is comparable at all.

[johnm is...]

Agree.

Corrales weighed 130 lbs at almost 6ft tall in that fight he was a walking zombie. that's not normal

Yep. So "not normal" and such a "walking zombie" in fact, that he continued to fight at the weight.

[Public_Enemy]

It's close. They're both very good wins but I'd lean toward the Corrales win. He was very dangerous at the time and undefeated. Many of the experts were split for the fight but it ended up being a blowout. No one expected Mayweather to stop him either.

This is why I said equal. Both donaire and corrales were favored (donaire much moreso than Corrales) but I picked rigo and Floyd to win when the fights were announced.

[HanzGruber]

Agree.

Corrales weighed 130 lbs at almost 6ft tall in that fight he was a walking zombie. that's not normal

And that's why he was the 130 champ 3 years later right. One hell of a zombie

For one, read the name, I aint biased...so *******s and Fraudites please stay away...now

With all things considered..opponent, how "prime" the opponent is, the level the opponent is at, the opponent's past wins, significance to weight division, odds to win, expectations of the fight, performance, and opponent's "neutralization"....Rigondeaux's win is better.

Donaire-Rigondeaux to real boxing fans was a 50/50 fight beforehand...you could NOT pick a winner. Donaire was top 5 p4p in many people's eyes at the time and was steamrolling the divison against GREAT FIGHTERS with such skill, he was expected to reach HOF level....seriously, Donaire had VERY few doubters. Another very important aspect was the fact that Rigondeaux was expected to "run" which is why even his haters knew this could be the key to his victory...so this was a true 50/50 fight...BUT THEN

Beginning at Round 1....Rigondeaux stood there and threw with Donaire with ABSOLUTELY NO FOOT MOVEMENT. and OH MY GOD this round was one of the greatest skill showcases in boxing history. Everything he did this round was perfect...and HE COMPLETELY NEUTRALIZED DONAIRE FROM THIS ROUND ON....

Round 2-11...Perfection....you will rarely see a great fighter in his prime with no excuses great dominated by a greater fighter in this manner. No catchweight, no "he was too small/too big" or any of that...each fighter were at their absolute best....if anything, his SIZE WAS ANOTHER MENTION OF PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT HE WOULD WIN

ROUND 12...BOOM....GOT DONAIRES EYE AND HAD DONAIRE ON THE BACKFOOT WHILE LANDING PICTURE PERFECT POWER SHOTS. AMAZING.

Like I said with all things given, this was greater than both of those wins. Mayweather didn't do the unexpected and sit there and trade with Corrales while ****ing him up which is probably the only thing that makes this win greater but it is key because it shows you that Rigondeaux went for greatness and not just a win

Floyd's best win is Canelo due to age, size disadvantage, and how dominant he was. Nelo was 22yrs old, 165lbs, and got walked down by a 150lb Granpa.

I feel that the win is Floyd's best win and that a 165lb Canelo would destroy a 135lb Genero, Diego, whoever else Floyd beat at the lower weights. Floyd's ww fights are his toughest due to size, age etc.

I think Ortiz, Ghost, Mosley would all batter df outta Genero easily. And I think Canelo was a much more dangerous fight than Nonito. Nonito was more proven but he was only a little bit younger than RiGod and only a little bit bigger.
