How do you go on living knowing Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko will never happen?

I'm struggling here.

Drives me nuts.

i reckon loma would've been too big anyway

[soul_survivor]

I'd prefer Loma v LSC/Walters/Frampton/Selby and a whole host of other names that can match him for size.

I don't think Rigo could compete with Loma - so it would have been an anticlimax. Too much size - and obviously the ability to go with it.

Maybe darts might be a more enjoyable activity for you. have fun.

As far as ability goes I'd take Rigo over Loma. No way Rigo would've lost to someone of Salido's caliber.

Loma may be flashy, but pound for pound, I take Rigo by a long run.

Yes I agree he has more ability, but Loma has too much in combination, size and ability. The sum of the parts is too much to make up the difference. I could be wrong because their dimensions are not too dissimilar, but its like Brook-GGG on the weekend, one guy structurally, frame wise, you can see there was a significant difference, even if on paper the dimensions (height and reach) weren't that different, and its the same with this fight in my opinion.

If you add to the fact that Lomachenko looks like a puncher even up at 130, and Rigo hasn't exactly been bullet proof at 122, it just to me equates to a non-competitive fight where Loma probably jabs and walks through Rigo. That doesn't mean I think he is the better fighter p4p.

Axe Man must approve of such a bout first. Loma needs to offer a bit from his purse...

Loma The Purserer

Cant understand how Loma gets criticism for losing his second pro fight by split decision to Salido a world champion who was 11 pounds heavier on the night after coming in overweight and who also benefited shocking refereeing.
