    Well decent fighters are avoiding him at 122lbs so theres that.

    We shouldnt even need to talk about a Loma fight because he would be fighting Frampton, Quigg or LSC.

    To the OP. His chin isnt great obviously, but his recovery is excellent. If he was as vulnerable as people claim he then the contenders in his division would be queing up to take his title

      Have nothing against Rigo, but his fans, who always say that he gonna school everybody are annoying. He was dropped and hurt by bums and some comparisons with Marquez's chin are unaccetable. Juan was dropped by big punchers and even then, he wasnt holding for dear life like Rigo in Amagasa fight.

      Like I said, biased ass fans saying how he gonna school Loma are idiots. If Rigo got hurt by bums like Cordoba, Marroquin and Amagasa, what Lomachenko's punches gonna do to him? Vasily is not a huge puncher, but he has enough pop to drop Rigo multiple times and knowing his accuracy and work rate he will land his punches for sure...
      ^^^ THIS.

Marroquin is big, Cordo is big, Ama is big. A couple pounds of weight is a huge deal at the lower weight classes. But his chin has held up well. Does anyone really think Salido beats Loma without that size diff? It's no different with the guys Rigo fights except Rigo is a smaller 122 than Loma is at 126. Rigo is very small, even for 122 and he's incredibly lean and muscular already I dont see how he can realistically be expected to fight at 126.
      read wat the above quote says lol.
      btw did you watch cordo and ama's punch that dropped/hurt rigo? or did u just go on boxrec and say "oh Rigo down in x" and "oh this guy is 5'7, hes only hurt against bigger guys"?
      u know ama NEVER fought at 122 (always 126) in his career and had to drain down to 122?

        His chin doesn't seem good but then he took some bombs from Donaire.

        Which completely shocked me.
