    if he gets caught he is definitely going down for good with this guy.

      Cordoba was a world champion not an unknown journeyman(seriously don't impose your limited knowledge of boxing onto me).... Amagasa on the other hand is 3 and 1\2 inches taller than Walters and also was not unknown to people who actually follow the sport. How about Rigo is better than Walters at everything in boxing....everything bar power punching, is that not a "good reason"?

      Donaire is a much more complete fighter than Walters and even past his best nearly took him out.... Walters ain't ****....he's not gonna go on and be great... so don't get your hope up

          You're embarrassing yourself now, really.

            Talking of KD's a quick look at boxrec shows Walters was Kd'd by the mighty Carlos Manuel Reyes, and the insane power punching Alejandro Corrales (nope never heard of them either).

            Not to mention him severly hurt by Donaire (way more hurt than Rigo).

            By your logic we should be more worried for Walters

              Man don't bother.. I could tell from this guys first post that he'd already assigned Walters as the next big thing in his mind. Same with Crawford... people seem to forget Gamboa was winning easily till he got careless and even then could have just recovered rather than fight fire with fire... Crawford would want to avoid guys with good legs like Mikey Garcia

                ... I repeatedly reminded here that Donaire was fed up with boxing even before fighting Rigo -- he even contemplated retirement back then... Donaire can't stand as a "yardstick" in boxing anymore...

                  The question should be who would win, Rigo is not some Pinata that lasts till the candy falls out, he is a superb technician who can nullify the slower, less mobile Walters. Rigo has seen every style imaginable and can adjust. Not sure Walters has. Being bigger can go against Walters too because Rigo can make Walters look one step behind. Rigo by comfortable decision.

                    while i really like crawford, that fight with Gamboa didn't prove who was better. If Gamboa actually belonged anywhere near that weight class, he would have beaten Crawford. Gamboa is more skilled. TC came in over 150 and had every physical advantage. Gamboa just couldn't hurt him (save once, which speaks volumes of his power) and couldn't take a junior MW's punches.

                      That's how I feel about this fight, rigo is better than Walters but I just think the size advantage is too great to overcome.
