This is a great move, saying other wise is hating breh :francis:

case and point





2x gold medals

one of the lowest connect % in boxing = careless, defensive lapses :francis:

top 5 ring p4p fighter

quick hands and feet

can fight righty



Just a name. :francis:


but Floyd beating up 10 jobbers in sparring is a good look :francis:

He connects on less than 30% of his punches. Nothing I said was incorrect. I'm a fan but it's easy to play defense if you aren't looking to return fire. So, why did Nonito put him down? Foolishness and a lapse in a fight he was dominating. Hopefully he gets in the ring with Frampton and do the same thing. Rigo isn't over 30% over his last ten fights while Floyd is over 42% in his last ten bouts. If for footwork? sure, it might help but you can't tell me that having him in to spar helps in a significant way. It is the pure definition of style over substance. Just another example of Roach trying to dominate the 24 boxing news cycle.

Foolishness and a lapse in a fight he was dominating. Hopefully he gets in the ring with Frampton and do the same thing. Against his fight with Donaire, he didn't touch 40% accuracy in any round while Floyd is over 42% in his last ten bouts.

So because he got hit in a boxing match against one of the best guys in the division it was because of a lapse in defense.....so when slow ass Maidana was tagging Floyd was this the same reason :sas1:

:mjlol: yeah Roach just wants to make the news by having Rigo there :dead:

the mental gymnastics you nikkas do to bring logic to your stanning :dead:

People talking down on bringing in rigo?

I thought it was good :manny:

Remove names. How does a smaller (by 25 pounds) southpaw that throws less than Floyd, connects on less than Floyd(29% to 42%) yet while maintaining the same level of defense prepares you for a fight. Is he expecting Floyd not to swing back? How a Rigo, Floyd, a Pernell or a James Toney fights is based on intuition, when you reach that rarefied air. You can mimic the techniques till your face turns blue. Utilization is different in every situation. It has nothing to do with stanning. I don't see how this helps one iota when everything that we know that affects Floyd, you can't say that Rigo can help Manny with. The end result between the two (Floyd and Rigo) might look the same or look similar in their fights, but the routes they get there are far different. That's my argument.

Pac isn't sparring the Rigo from the Donaire fight... Rigo will be fighting orthadox mimicking Floyds movements.. it doesn't matter what his percentage os because he wont be sparring Pac the same as how he fights a regular fight
