Who was the greater ameteur Guillermo Rigondeux or Vasyl Lomachenko?

So how does that mean he would have won gold? I'm not sure how you're giving credit for a gold when he came nowhere close to winning it basically what hes saying is that rigo is better than lomo, like i said in the first page

Because the dude that beat him by 2 points won Gold funny thing is he had whipped that same dude before by a marging of over 10 points. But im surprised Rigo doesn't have more losses he is like 6 or 7 times national champion or some Ridiculous sh*t like that. If Vasyl National championships would have been in Cuba his record would look very different someone is always trying to take your spot and give their all because their future depend on it (Rigo used to whipp Gamboa in those lol). So how does that mean he would have won gold? I'm not sure how you're giving credit for a gold when he came nowhere close to winning it

Loma was better by a little bit but realistically I'd just say equal as they are both BEAST

How do u know it would have been a gold for him, it's not like he lost in the gold medal fight, it was the 2nd round Because the dude that beat him by 2 points won Gold funny thing is he had whipped that same dude before by a marging of over 10 points. But im surprised Rigo doesn't have more losses he is like 6 or 7 times national champion or some Ridiculous sh*t like that.

10 bucks Roy Jones doesn't get on the Lomachenko train like he did the Rigo one "He beat the Lebrons, the Kobes the Jordans, he's seen everybody" lol

That was the robbery I was talking about if not every single tourney would been gold but hopefully they fight and this is settled pro victory should count for both . How do u know it would have been a gold for him, it's not like he lost in the gold medal fight, it was the 2nd round

2003....... That was the robbery I was talking about if not every single tourney would been gold but hopefully they fight and this is settled pro victory should count for both .

rigondeaux faced tougher opposition and won gold in every single major tournament so it's that good old question do you take quality or quantity? You are sorely mistaken rigo wasn't in the 2007 championships because it was in chicago us = no cuba coming rigo got gold medal in all the major events he competed. Lomachenko didnt compete in as many therefore his amateur wins arent against as tough opposition. Rigo only gets gold so actually that silver you mention makes loma look bad rigo would been like ew silver:rofl: Lol. 2003.......

He did not win gold in every tourney doe Everybody gets robbed once in a while ask Lomachenko actually ask Floyd dude got blatantly robbed in the olympics.

Both have 2 Olympic golds and 2 amateur champ golds, but lomachenko has a silver in a 3rd amateur champion ship when rigo didn't even medal in his 3rd.....so clearly it loma Also he only lost once and avenged it, has rigo beaten every person he has ever faced? Didn't think so :D I'm pretty sure the Cuban amateurs have better skilled competition.

Lets just get these two in the ring for 2014 :banana: Nonito :blackeye: can watch and learn :thinkerg:

And yet Rigondeaux is doing pretty well past his prime at the pro level... I think the reason why Rigo is still razor sharp is cause he doesn't take much damage and (most importantly IMO) he doesnt balloon up between fights. Just like Mayweather, he stays around fight night weight. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Both equally impressive, interesting comparison with two vastly different boxing schools...both fought the best competition available in the ams and were almost flawless, for personal preference Vasyl for me slightly (for obvious reasons) but with no bias pretty much equal in terms of dominance/accomplishments etc. Looking forward to a meeting in the pros soon! :boxing:

I lean towards Rigo,, he would have had 3 gold medals had he not defected,, Plus he has alot more wins over future top level pros like mares

Loma - 2 Olympic Golds, 2 World Golds and a World Silver vs Rigo - 2 Olympic Golds, 2 World Golds Equal!
