    The difference in speed and boxing ability is also huge. The difference in timing, movement, understanding of range, rhythm etc etc all favour Rigo in this fight.

    Again I'm not writing off Walters, i respect his power (just the same as i did Donaires), but Rigo is different to every boxer he has faced so far.

      I'm a Rigondeaux fan... But Walters should fight at his natural weight class by now -- which is at least 135... But he could fight even Figueroa or Lucas...

        Maybe. I think Lomachenko and Gonzales are big enough to hang with him.

        What is his fight night weight?

        Edit: Walters rehydrated to 138 vs Donaire (who was 133). Lomachenko was 135 vs Salido.

        I dont think Walters is ******ly big for the division. Though he is big enough to move up and have success

          Didn't find this info... But Walters doesn't have broad shoulders and really looks quite skinny -- I must admit that he could fight at 135 at this stage...

              Walters is a boogeyman now? Going life and death with an out of shape Donaire and winning with a shot to the back of the head? That's the standard we hold now? Tell me....was Rigo doing the stank leg after the first round against Donarie like Walters?

              Donaire never hurt Rigo but every shot was stunning Walters..... Loma bodies that fool and Fortuna takes his soul if he has the balls to challenge him

                ... I'm not that "sold" on Lomachenko, tbh... And Walters also has a big reach advantage over him... (I'll review Walters vs Donaire, though)...

                  I think Walters vs Lomachenko would be very interesting. I want to see Walters fight someone with quick feet and unpredictable movements, and i think Loma fits that perfectly.

                  If Walters can keep having the same success that he was having against Donaire and Darchinyan then i will be impressed

                    Not "sold" on Loma? Me being a guy who originally dismissed him I must say that is foolish. Loma has some of if not the best feet in boxing. His hooks are vicious and thrown perfectly. Coupled with his great ring IQ and defensive skills he is really that good. The way he made Russels speed mean nothing is something few fighters could do
