I can understand why people say Rigondeaux, but I don’t blame his abilities/resume for being a dud. In his prime he had the skill set to beat anyone in his division, but nobody wanted to fight him and boxing pretty much blackballed him for his boring fighting style when it mattered the most. It was a tough situation. I’ve dozed off on every one of his fights after Donaire, aside from Loma and the tall Asian fighter that dropped him twice.
My pick is Victor Ortiz. Had all the tools in the world, but his heart just wasn’t in boxing. It’s one thing to have a bad chin, but he made it painfully obvious that he doesn’t like getting hit. I gave him a pass for the Maidana loss because he was young, but the fight that really cemented who he was is the Peterson draw. He basically let him get back into the fight.
