rigondeaux is overrated. DEBATE WITH ME.

[Redeaux]

Ok, maybe the OP does have a point.

I said some, not all. I'm not calling him #1 Pound for Pound or anything.

But if you can find anyone in the sport today with footwork as good as Rigondeaux I'll buy you a beer.

u mean the times he stayed flatfooted and pivoted and got knocked down by amagasa and donaire? same mistake of being flat footed there

Same footwork he used to curb stomp both of them throughout the rest of their fights too.

Just have a look through Rigondeaux stats if you need any reassurance on his skills. Look at his connect rate and how often his opponents connect. Think his stats are better then Mayweathers. This guy is fighting in a division higher than his natural weight and the guys there are ducking him, give the man some credit. He's been dropped a few times and yeah he does have a bit of a chin issue but that doesn't have anything to do with skills.

Mayweather still has the better plus/minus ratio when it comes to punches landed vs opponent punches landed. Rigo is sharp, and defensively sound, and I would say more graceful than Mayweather but Floyd is more well rounded, more solid than Rigo.

Who does the OP think is the better pure boxer? Floyd or Rigo?

to people who say one of the following:
-rigo beats loma @ 126
-rigo beats morales @ 122
-rigo beats barrera @ 122
-rigo beats hamed @ 122
-rigo beats junior jones @ 122
you are overrating rigo and im up for debate.

generic points:
-rigo's chin is weak as hell. dropped by
a) amagasa's off-balance "right jab". and this guy is someone who has NEVER fought at 122 in his career before. always at 126. DRAINED for this fight.
b) cordoba... a jab.....
-all this rigo hype began AFTER he beat donaire. and donaire's best weights were from flyweight to bantamweight.
-donaire is a counter puncher who relies heavily on his powerful left hook. arguably limited one dimensional boxer.
-rigo is too small

Don't need to read the whole thread to know it went like this.



mentioning Amegasa so sad poor guy got disfigured for his luck of landing that punch even that Rigo couldn't believe landed that spaguetti was longer than he thought.

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

hes one of the most skilled fighters to ever step in a ring, if ur saying his resume is overrated then maybe but whos overrating it. rigo is a once in a lifetime talent that we should be seeing more of but....

Loma lost to old fat salido. Next

Don't hate on the homie Salido

I don't understand the point of this thread. You are basically saying Rigo is a badass vs the level of guys you are throwing out there in comparison to him (3 being HOF caliber guys), but your argument is that he isn't THAT badass that he's capable of winning 1 of 4 potential ATG fantasy matches lol.

The only thing really worth debating is the Loma fight & I myself as a Rigo & Loma fan feel that is a pretty even toss up type of fight. Rigo is clearly a small cat so him moving up to a higher weight could prove to be the deciding factor vs Loma legitly so I'm not exactly super passionate that Rigo is gonna mop the floor with Loma's ass, but then again I'm not super passionate that Loma is gonna mop the floor with Rigo's ass cuz I do still believe while smaller Rigo's boxing IQ is much larger than Loma's.

Come on dude, triangle theories don't work. Like me saying Klitschko would never lost to an 8 fight novice like Leon Spinks.
