I'd don't follow the amateur's as much as the pro's but i get the impression Rigondeaux is better than Kindelan.

Arena Boxpromotions have done very well getting the Cubans. Odlanier Solis, Erislandy Lara, Yuriorkis Gamboa and now Guillermo Rigondeaux.

Rigondeaux and Kindelan were equally as good. Although Kindelan never lost in a major tournament after winning it once, whereas Rigo did (the 2003 worlds).

So you could argue that Kindelan is actually better.
