Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Climbs Off Canvas, Stops A****sa In A War

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Floyd has a better chin, not better defence...although it's very close.

Floyd has been clocked clean many times and buzzed, but his chin is very solid to stay up.

Isn't defense hit and don't be hit


How many times floyd been down.. Zero (except for the hand injury vs famoso and floyd took a voluntary knee)

How many times has rigo been on the canvas (four different fights)

Floyd has an 18 year career, nearly50 fights, fighting mostly world class guys, rigo has alittle over 6 years and 15 fights, fighting mostly random journeymen


But he a better defender than Floyd doe

"But he better than floyd doe"



Someone needs to bump that "rigo is a better defender than floyd" thread

I had to argue with idiots claiming rigo is superior to money may in the defense department, even though may hasn't ever been knocked down, and every other journeymen fight, rigo gets dropped..


In terms of the fight, it sounds like a must watch

*Cough* zab Judah

[Sugar Adam Ali]

How many times has Rigondeaux been dropped now?

56?

Exactly,, and people claim he is better than MAYweather, or a better defender..

Neither is true

Don't get me wrong, rigo is top shelf talent and skill, but he ain't floyd

Never ruled, and that was glove grazing canvas, not sitting on your arse like rigo.. But yes, one time, one guy who was world class, struck floyd hard.. True story

Show the clip of floyd on his ass... I'm not gonna dispute that it should have been ruled a kd, but let's keep it real.. Rigo goes down in about 35% of his fights,, down hard, notglove grazing, on his arse... Vs inferior competition

This. rigo still good tho

[Divine Hammer]

rigondeaux is a true ATG. those knockdowns were more from off balance (not really legit knockdowns). he wasn't really hurt.

kokietgym and a****sa are two good wins for rigo this year. i expect leo duck cruz and everyone else to continue ducking.

That doesn't even remotely dispute what I said.

As I said, Floyd just has a better chin. Floyd gets hit and has been shaken (Corley, Augustus, Mosley, Maidana...) His chin has kept him up.

It is hit and don't get hit, Floyd just has a better chin for when it happens.

Fair dos then, I can't complain there. But it seems odd how angry people get when people compare him to floyd. They are in different weight classes so why bother
