    The only guy in the lower weights that could give Loma competition is Rigo

    The two best boxers in the world going head to head. That's the best fight that can be made. Loma should be top 5 PFP now.

    Ya'll really need to stop with the Rigo B.S. The guy doesn't even want to fight. He's doing nothing to set himself up for a big fight. I don't care how skilled he is. You gotta stay active to build fights. Rigo has not done his part to build a fight with Quigg, LSC, Frampton, or Loma. He's gonna want a half a million dollars minimum but can't sell out a VFW hall. Just because he's skilled doesn't mean he deserves that type of payday and a fight against guys who are out here staying active and building their names and selling tickets. Rigo is trying to leech off of their hard work to get a good payday.

      that's not true. DiBella in the post fight vs Santa Cruz flat out snored when asked about Rigo, and Frampton said he doesn'T bring any money... how many months ago was all that when Frampton said he'd love to fight Rigo, literally? ''loving to fight Rigo'' doesn'T translate to a later date after breaking ****ens jaw to ''he doesn'T bring any money.''

      YOu know the reason, PBC. PBC's protocol RELIES on ratings. Of course DiBella can'T advocate such a bout, regardless if Haymon acknowledges Rigo's greatness. He already got one Lara, so we good!

        I'm not for this match-up anymore because Loma has moved up to 130. Rigo may be just as gifted, but age and inactivity will make a big difference, especially against a bigger guy.

          The problem is Rigo doesnt want to move up and wants big money. I mean yes he is very skilled but hes unknown and doesnt draw ****. For us real boxing fans, its a great matchup. If Rigo could move up, I think it could be made but hey...

            Rigo's at 122 isn't he?

            He should move up to 126 or 130 in 2017.

              I understand Rigo is great. But my point is he isn't active and isn't even attempting to be active. He has to do his part to build these fights and he's not doing his part.

                age is not a problem. and Rigo's ''inactivity'' after cracking a jaw is nothing like Pac's layoff after Marquez 4, with Pac being a year older than Rigo. Ironically Marquez out Pac to sleep at what age?

                we all know age got nothing to do with this. elite p4p boxers can bottleneck close to 40.

                THis is why when they say Alvarez is waiting for ggg to get old only suggests that ggg isn'T great against better oppossition.

                  Rigondeaux is irrelevant. If he wants a shot at king Loma he needs to get on his knees and beg for forgiveness.

                    but HBO got that skrilla to pay scrubs 10x more than to pay Rigo's scrubs. it's an easy formula. It's not that Rigo doesn'T want to fight. Rigo cracking a jaw in the UK under Roc isn'T a bad start. Rigo can bottleneck to 40. He needs to fight Valdez. HBO wouldn'T dare
