    Mayweather is the most complete. Rigo is the most inactive. Wlad has become more of a spoiler. In terms of most effective at winning? Rigo. Most effective of the three in entertainment? Floyd.

      Wlad's is most effective, because it often leads to KO's
      he's cautious as hell and has been in some dull fights
      but the man gets KO's, which is hard to talk around
      winning is good, consistently stopping guys is better

        You can't really count Wlad, because how many fighters are 7 feet tall 300 lbs. and all muscle?

            For a time, I used to feel short changed watching Wladimir fight, as he is unspectacular and he just goes about his business, maintaining a certain level of safety before anything else. I perceived this to be a boring style, and I believed it when people like D.D. Haye spouted all that stuff about the Klit's ruining heavyweight boxing. Over time it dawned on me however, there just isn't anybody good enough to negate Wlad's advantages. The fact he can so negate an opponents offense isn't a knock on him but actually it is a massive plus.

            Floyd, I find him to be mesmerising at times. Just the whole event, the promotion, the build up and the fight. He just oozes pure class inside a boxing ring. He has the X factor, what can you say. You know when you see him toying with other elite fighters, we should enjoy him while he is here as there probably won't be another fighter like him for a good 10-20 years.

            As far as Rigo goes, I haven't seen enough of him personally to make a judgement, although from what I have seen he has almost put me to sleep due to how good he is at negating an opponents offense.

              well lets see wlad is a terrible boxer and his only defense is holding. if anyone gets within his jab its holdy time! pure fraud and a cheat. akwindade was yelling at the television "DQ the bum!"

              Floyd refuses to fight guys that will be give him trouble and according to him hes looking for certain fighters to fight. dominating against hand picked opposition=who cares

              rigo is the only one who doesn't cheat or duck so he wins.

                Also Wlad's "style" isn't very effective. It's mainly able to be pulled off because he's a HW in a division where size differs greatly. Have manny try that style at 147 and see if it's "effective" Rigo's and Floyds translate well to other classes.

                  I voted Floyd because Rigo just does not have a long enough track record as a pro to make any kind of honest comparison to Floyd superb style and how it has benefited him in the long run. I cant vote Wlad because i seen him get put to sleep although he has developed many "tricky" ways of avoiding that.

                    Rigo is very defensive and it's a good way not to lose. Floyd doesn't really have too much of a "style" anyhow. He makes adjustments based on the fight, Rigo basically has one style that never changes...all in all my other post stands, Rigos pure "style" is more efficent. Floyd has gotten into brawls before and it isn't all that efficent.
