    But to make such an assumption is crazy
    Can't believe I agree with this guy lol. Walters is the measuring stick for Rigo and Lomas potential to even be the best at/around featherweight along with Gonzalez. Rigo and Loma both will Never be ppv worthy or boxing stars. They both don't speak English and don't have a casual "fan friendly" style. Most p4p top guys that came from lower weights came from 130 and eventually went to welter like Pernell and Floyd. I don't see Loma being the top guy in his division now and I don't see him being even a 3 weight champ. He has some skill and potential but lacks the frame and intangibles to become p4p top dog.

      Which is true, he beat Toney but afterward dominated okay to good fighters. Featherweight now is a better division then Lightheavy weight then.

      To say Loma can't be considered P4P the best even if he dominates the featherweight division is more of a bias against smaller fighters. The talent there makes it one of the best divisions today.

            i'd wager even rigondeaux in his second fight would have a tough time with salido, probabley lose also


            infact, we hype rigondeaux so much, but all he's beaten is donaire, which everyone admits has trouble with counter-punchers and looks terrible vs anyone who doesn't give him something to counter, and rigo is the strictest counter-puncher i've ever seen(see agbeko fight)

            everyone just expected the first time that donair touched him he'd be out, he touched him, but he only touched down

            we've yet to see rigondeaux under consistent pressure

                nonsense.

                ward, jmm, rigo and mayweather are all more skilled than loma. what makes loma so great is his combination of skill and athleticism. he reminds me of pacquiao in that regard.

                he is very skilled, but the best technician in the game is guillermo rigondeaux hands down. loma however is younger and more importantly he doesnt have his division cowering in fear the way rigo does.

                the 126 division should play put as following imo:

                loma-gradovich
                donaire-mares

                then the winnerof those two fight meet and the winner of that fight meets the winner of gonzalez-walters. if loma came out on top of that and he very well might, he would definitely be high on the p4p list. with ward out indefinitely, floyd, jmm and pacquiao on the way out and rigo frozen by aforementioned scared would be opposition loma might just be #1 in just two years or so.

                this is all speculation of course. he would beat gradovich but after that its quite a task to come out on top and of course you dont know what else may happen in other divisions.

                all in all he has a long way to go and a lot to prove, but he looks to be the goods.

                  Rigo is one dimensional.

                    he can fight backwards or forwards, lead or counter and he is solid at mid range and on the inside in addition to being the best long range fighter in the game. he has shown more dimensions than loma has.

                    more importantly, loma has lost. he had questions asked he could not answer. couldnt adapt too. for all we know rigo can switch it up even more if need be. although to be fair they are both adapting to the pro ranks and improving every fight.

                      No he hasn't, he barely throws anything other than a one two.
