[EL_GRINGO]

Who has rigondeaux beat outside of Donaire,if people are gonna hold Loma up to those standars and not just use the eye test,they should do it for Rigo too

[yoshik]

Lol ward is the man fk yall

**** you! Wards such a little bi*ch. Poor guy, "the people that don't like me are wacist". Boo hoo. **** you Ward you little diva whore.

[lazaron72]

Agreed . And rigo beats Loma at 122 and 126 .

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

Rigo is the most talented but I factor resume into my p4p and I'm finding a hard time keeping Rigo on the list. Granted, it's not all resume and each person has to define what p4p means for them so I don't expect us all to have the same fantasy list.

I agree with everything you said except that i don't feel rigs is more talented than Loma,according to compubox Loma's defense is just as good while he has a better offense,and he has those good defense numbers against generally better opposition then rigs,Take in account a chin,not something you can train but in the overall picture it matters

All of that nonsense because he gave his p4p list.... Really, how can you have genuine hatred for someone WE all know, you do not know??? I thought most people would be glad the rematch was happening and you so called boxing fans know that negotiating a lovely fight is not a over night process - just because Kov is getting played by his promoter doesn't mean Ward will allow that to happen to himself - lots of upsides that need to be negotiated - merchandise/ over seas revenue split / sponsors / site fees / venue availability / purse and if you guys really studied the sport - this rematch is happening as fast as Mayweather / Maidana
Mayweather / Costillo
Barrera / Morales
And many more , comment with facts instead of hatred and bias

Definitely comparable talent, but I think Rigo has the edge in that department. He's not unhittable, but I think half the time Rigo gets hit because he knows he's just superior to his opponent. Donaire didn't have much success, and that's probably because Guille respected his power and knew it was a big fight. And while Lomo has respectable power, "El Chacal" is a murderous puncher. I don't think too many guys in Rigo's weight class make it the distance if he really wants to get them out of there.

You make some good points,you right about the power,no denying that

[MEXfistology]

so then rigo should move up right? you idiot.

Shut the FCK up dumbss , why would he move up if these guys avoided him at a lower weight already, its clear nobody wanted to fight him, there's no point . its a no brainer. But i guess for a hopeful btch like you who still believes in amazing things and doesn't stick to reality maybe in your lil world it can still happen.

[argentinabox22]

this confirms this dude is ******...he contradicts himself all the time in that interview "rigondeaux is great, great amateur background" yeah ggg and loma had a ****ty amateur career, right sok?

Now, let me tell you, I've followed those two since their amateur days, and they were both highly impressive in their respective styles. I knew they would be champions as professionals as well. (Doesn't take a rocket scientist. Lol) But while I've lost my zeal for Rigo, I'm still a big fan of Lomachenko. That kid is the truth.
