    Every fan thinks their man is the boogeyman.
    Only people here who thought that was Smash and Mushadeen

      i think GGG, and lomancheko is next,loma is no Rigo and look how fast top rank is trying to push this guy,laughable
      If anything, Rigo is overrated. 38 year old Darchinyan was close to duplicating his performance against Donaire. People easily forget how Rigo's past opponents did much better against him than Nonito did as well. Rigo will get exposed soon.

        Berto, Dawson, Alexander - guys with good physical gifts and just enough skill to look like a million dollars against limited opposition.

          Loma is no Rigo? The guy has just debuted, and looked pretty darn good against a solid second tier guy. People conveniently forget how vulnerable Rigo looked not too long before the Donaire win.

              Dude fought Angulo in his own hometown who was the baddest and most feared Mexican at 154 and Kirkland sparked him out. If anything it was exposed he needs Anne Wolfe he could still be champion at 154.
              He had Wolfe in his corner when Molina schooled him.

              But Wilder, the windmill king, is the truth right?

                Jeff Lacey. According to some, he was the second comming of Mike Tyson... Calzaghe exposed that.

                  thats exactly what it was,****** fickle fans hyping him because hes some guy who punches hard when theres not drug tests involved. honestly most of us long time fans saw how easily matthysse was off balance and how uncoordinated he was,if yall thought he was going to just blow through garcia you should reconsider the sport ur watching. hes not good period
                  sorry but you seriously don't know **** about boxing if you think "he's not good period"

                  Seriously, or you're biased as f***, or maybe both

                  Matthysse has never been exposed in any fight he's been in

                    Not really like I specified in my post but he still had a lot of hype considering he's a bum.
