If i was quigg i would fight rigo,i think quigg could beat rigo

Under a different trainer, Quigg would give Rigo a run for his money. Under Shameless with his 'tactics' not a snowballs chance in hell.

I think there is a clear level between Quigg and Rigo but that's not why I don't give him a snowball in hells chance.
It's because his style is absolutely custom made to be picked apart by Rigondeaux, I don't see him landing a glove on him. He doesn't have the subtlety, the intelligence or the ability to adapt, he'd load up and get countered all night and I could see him actually getting frustrated to the point where he started bombing away and getting stopped by him. Quigg's not a bad boxer but he's just not at the level of ability to cause Rigo harm. A body shot is the only chance I give him and even then I'm rating this one in the 95/5 region.

Frampton would have been an underdog against Rigo but his skillset and busy style would have caused him far more problems IMO.

Sometimes fighters don't look great and sometimes great fighters make very good fighters look ordinary

The movement and counter punching, against one of the most effective offensive fighters in the game, was to be marveled at.
I watched a review of the fight, one of these YouTube blokes that slows down the replays so you can watch the technical brilliance of all the things you don't see at full speed.

By the time Donaire gets the punch where it was supposed to be Rigo is 6 feet away from it. It's truly masterful boxing, if you can't appreciate what Rigo does in the ring you just don't get it bud.

His win against a lacklustre Donaire is almost 3.5 years ago now.

Very overrated fighter.

Any idea how I can find that mate? Wouldn't mind giving it a watch.

Donaire was losing pretty clearly to Darchinyan in his next fight and looking terrible and soon after he was destroyed by Walters.

Rigondeaux's performance against Donaire is perhaps the most overrated performance in the last 5 years of boxing.

And he didn't counter?

Even when you give an example of Rigondeaux's 'brilliance' he seems to be doing the wrong thing.

I'd like to see that. I've a sneaky feeling Galahads a front runner that won't like it back. Thought jazz a dickens made him uncomfortable a few times.

Dickens did maybe make him look uncomfortable, but he did it with a high-tempo strategy with a lot of foot movement, and he couldn't sustain the energy levels to do it throughout the fight.

Quiggs slow plodding feet, if he were to try and press Galahad, wouldn't be able to do it in the same way, I think he would spend quite a while in the trademark Joe G 'lose the early rounds and come on strong' posture and Galahad would have plenty of opportunities to find angles through his guard.
