    Lomachenko is not in this category. He lost to Salido, none of those other guys would lose such a fight.

      No, but sadly these are the most criticized boxers on the planet for some reason, ill add lomo to that list as well just because! and how do u get inside vs rigo or Crawford without taking 3 to the dome... there is a reason u haven't seen it done much. Crawford did however take it to burns on the inside...

      for some reason all these guys mentioned have to do more than the rest but I guess that's how it is when u have skills...

        Rigo shouldn't be in there. He spent most of his adult life beating up in teenagers in the amateurs. His pro career has been pretty average and he gets dropped by very average fighters.

          Come on, of course it is.

          When/if he fights someone who has the ability to get inside and fight inside we will have a better idea.

            I'm not sure.

            Mayweather arguably lost to Castillo. A prime Castillo is better than that version of Salido but they have similar traits.

            I think a Rigondeaux-Salido fight would be very interesting. Albeit Saldio's a lot bigger.

                HE was dropped by a man twice his size, Ali was Knocked down by wepner does that make him less of a fighter? we are talking about skills here, how does getting knocked down or losing a fight always make u less of a fighter around here, most Cuban fighters get caught n dropped by the way. Rigo is one of the most skilled fighters of this era.

                    Yeeaah, none of those guys fought someone on Salido's level in their second pro fight, either.

                    Floyd - Reggie Sanders, 1-1

                    Ward - Kenny Kost, 8-0, but his opponents were either debuts or complete bums with twice as many losses as wins.

                    Rigo - Robert Guillen, 4-2-3

                    Bud - Filiberto Nieto, 1-4

                      Have you seen Rigondeaux fight?

                      Mayweather has been in the ring with pretty good fighters, how many have been able to close distance on him?
