Do You Think Guillermo Rigondeux Could Defeat Floyd Mayweather...

...if they were in the same weight class? Have never seen a full-length fight of his, but after seeing a few different highlight videos of him and hearing certain trainers talk about him, dude looks incredible.

I think Floyd would counter over top that lazy jab at will. At which time Rigo will be hesitant and will stop throwing.

It would have been a chess master fight. Just because Floyd can't read a page out of a Harry Potter book doesn't mean he can't think good. (Sic)

They are the same positive side of two magnets and would repel each other.

[Willy Wanker]

Floyd would win a decision in a boring fight.

I can picture even Floyd getting annoyed during the post fight interview and call Rigondeux a "runner" who doesn't come to fight.

rigondeaux would have won in the amateurs. floyd outclasses him in the professionals. they're completely different sizes and levels of fighter.


rigondeaux looked good for a couple of years. he needed to learn how to box pro, and he did. then he started to slide. rigondeaux may be 40 years old for all we know. he's listed at 35, and cuban and other athletes from developing countries have been known or suspected of doctoring birth certificates to boost their athletic careers in their youth.

Yes he would be to much for Floyd

Rigo is my boy but no I'd pick Floyd every time

One guy went 19 years undefeated against a lot of elite opposition and only touched the canvas once i think? and that was a balance/flash KD type of thing.

The other has fought 1 fighter in the top 30 of his division, been dropped and smacked around the ring by journeymen and shown holes in his defence.

Let me think...

Nah but to be serious... Rigo was a great amateur but he hasn't really proven much as a Pro and he's not getting any younger. It's not like he would even have a lot of old pro tricks that come with his age like Floyd or Hopkins do. Fantastic amateur, plenty of skills but p4p against someone like Floyd or Hopkins, they would take him to the professional game school.

Hell no. Floyd has granite for chin and rigo's got glass
