      See ^^^^ This right here is whats wrong with boxing fans..... Walters knocks out a washed up Vic and an out of shape Donaire and is now a P4P puncher? Where is his highlight reel Like Javier Fortuna's?

      Donaire to this day hits ****ing Miles harder than Walters and its the reason he has declined as a fighter...falling in love with his left hook(the best one in boxing) was his downfall.....get the **** out of here fanboy

        If Walters can keep having the same success that he was having against Donaire and Darchinyan then i will be impressed
        Just re-watched Walters vs Donaire... They fought mid range and close range... Walters doesn't appear to display the required skills (in terms of defense) in order to cause problems to Rigondeaux... But styles make...

        Loma is fighting well at this distance (mid and close range)... I don't know -- Loma has only 3 pro fights... It's too soon, in my opinion, to make an actual assessment... Did Loma call Walters?

          You might be right...................... But I still want to watch Lomachenko fighting more "regular" guys before taking on Walters, for instance (Rigo excluded)...

            This Rigo has been hurt and down against lesser and less powerful fighters logic is severely flawed in my opinion. Some people were using the very same logic before the Donaire fight and we know how it turned out.

            I would expect Rigo to bring his A-game and remain focused at all times against a skilled and hard-hitting fighter like Walters. Basically, I would expect to see the Rigo who fought Donaire, regarding his rival as a threat, not the Rigo who fought Amagasa. I think there's a difference between both. You don't drive with the same concentration at 50 mph and at 120 mph.

            However, that would a tough fight for Rigo to win as Walters looks two division bigger than him.

              Not sure, Bob Arum was talking about it for this year but i havent anything for a while. I know Loma has a fight soon with a guy who i dont know. You'd have thought it shouldnt be difficult to make as they are both with Top Rank, and neither commands enough money that they can be diva's about it.

              Yeah Lomachenko still has some improving to do, but hes starting to show the ability he showed in the Ams.

                If Rigo ever took this fight and won it, he would definetely be in the P4P top 5. But I can't imagine him standing a chance here.

                  I can't imagine you have the deductive reasoning for your opinions to matter in the slightest.

                    Dude, if an unknown Japanese goofy could knock Rigo down twice and an unknown journeyman named Cordoba could do it, aswell as Donaire who is just not quite on par with Walters, then you got no good reason to think Rigo would survive.

                      Rigo gets knocked down alot...but cant remb. him being really hurt tho....that being said think Rigo dominates unless he gets wobbled like Gamboa vs Crawford --a fight were the small guy was winning untill he gat caught and never recovered
