1. bob offers Rigo. 500k (don't forget to take out taxes...lol), no fight, pay too low. (team bob say Rigo. didn't want to fight)

2. Rigo goes back to the table to call their bluff & says okay lets meet at the weight you want @ 130.

3.bob says no....bob offers salido 720k, 220 more than Rigo fight (SMH) then Floyd offers more $ to fight Tank, which might end up happening.

4. loma is now fighting a guy coming off a loss....

5. jim lamply has loma at #1 P4P

Can the excuse makers please stand up!

Coming off an absolute 12 rd destruction at a lower weight. This is the biggest hypejob in history bar none,he has 9 fights 1 loss & hes ranked number 5 on ring p4p.

Ducked Rigo

Didn't go near Walters until he was covered with rust.

Now he's fighting a smaller fighter coming off a loss.

While im no rigo fanboi, at least he has shown the desire to at least want to fight the best but his style isnt the most entertaining unless hes fighting a brawler with power,but hes a very talented fighter,too talented sometimes. And hes CLEARLY above loma in p4p with his win over donaire alone. And this fight would be epic,because it would push rigo to the brink & hed be forced into a war. If only bob Arum wasn't such a hypocrit scumbag also.

I wouldn't say "biggest" hypejob just yet (he doesn't belong on the P4P List at all with only 10 fights), I mean we do have golovkin out there still...lol...I think loma is good & he does have the size advantage over Rigo. & is more skilled than golovkin...lol...but we need this Rigo vs loma fight sooner than later.

Didn't Rigondeaux already smash Marriaga years ago?



*edit* Marroquin. Maricón, more like...

Get it right he has 9 fights. And yet hes ranked above on many p4p this list: Joshua/whole hw division,the no1 p4p on boxrec canelo,kovalev,rigo,pacquiao& countless other non big names like jacobs, Jack etc. who still deserve it way more.

I agree hes very skilled but he hasnt really fought anyone of note. Theres plenty of fighters his age that would destroy those guys he fought,he just started his career late. Fighters like ggg/lomachenko etc. that go pro at old age,they win a vacant/gift title then they get to cherrypick tons of opponents because they can just say their gaining experience still,& that nobody will fight them because of money,& because their supposedly ducking.

Nobodies ducking them,they can mostly ALWAYS sacrifice & make concessions to get big name opponents on their resume but they are the ones who dont want to take the risk,because if they duck & fight cans theyll get richer,then eventually theyll fight who they been ducking & claimed was ducking them.

I have never seen this many people calling Lomachenko a hypejob or a ducker until this announcement. Glad to see I'm not in too much of a minority by saying that Lomachenko is not a P4Per yet. Too early in his career, not enough respectable names, and has been defeated once. This fight against Marriaga is not exactly a good match-up for solidifiying Lomachenko as a P4Per. I will be fair though, it is early in his career. There's plenty of time for Lomachenko to beat credible opposition in the coming years.

On the other hand, I'm very excited for Crawford-Indongo. If the IBF doesn't strip Indongo before the fight (which I suspect will happen), then this will be the first time in a while we will have had a truly undisputed champion.

As I said hes already 29 years old, & I honestly think Tank destroys him in 8 rds or less. Hes by far the most overrated fighter p4p,but he is clearly very skilled & will give a great fight with anyone near his weight but nobody knows if hes that good, for sure hes nowhere near as good as most are rating him. They've taken it to the usual cult worshipping level,& im not ashamed to call it what I see it: racism. Everytime a white fighter impresses the same group go way overboard in the hype,make no mistake its mainy the kovalev/ggg groupies(not regular fans of them),no coincidence there.
