He fought 2 good fighters out of all those names you pulled out.

Well he is above them all in pound for pound list. I dont see any fighter fighting everybody.

SMH....He is not even on the P4P list unless its hbo, espn & boxingscene.com they all suk at picking P4P's. How would you put a dude that has only 10 fights & 1 loss on P4P? That's idiotic unless he fought & beat 10 of the best fighters in the world all in a row. Terrence Crawford is undefeated & boxingscene has loma over him? SMDH

Because it didnt take Loma 30 fights to become two division world champion.

WBO champion that is.

U know he would school 126 WBA Champion Leo Santa Cruz and EX WBA Champion Frampton. He already schooled current 126 WBC Gary Russell.

But we (true fans) want Rigondeaux vs. Lomachenko. Even if Lomachenko has all the advantages.

Rigo is 122 and Loma is 130. Loma offer 126 to Rigo and he declined. Now that Loma is at 130, Rigo wants 126. We need to be realistic, the possible fights are Loma vs 126 lbs, 130 lbs, 135 lbs.
He could b fighting LSC, Davis, Berchelt, Corrales, Mikey, Flannagan, Linares. If Loma waste his time fighting nobodies he is only wasting his own time. So it's on his best intrest to offer decent pay to those Champion, he ain't. That's going to cause him to decline in popularity.

Arum offered 500k to Rigondeaux, that was the issue. Arum offered salido 720k for rematch. TR manager want Rigondeaux to fight loma at 130 & Rigondeaux agreed but team loma picked a weak opponent.....all the other fights can be made after this one which should be NEXT in December. So says team loma......

Let time answer the questions. Those who want to be great have to risk.

No it wasn't (see video below).

Man, Rigo wouldn't even be able to get by Walters. If Rigo was so confident and so willing he would be calling out and fighting other good names at 130. Personally, I'm certain he's bluffing about fighting Lomachenko at 130. I don't think he'd want that especially when you have him here on video when he avoided fighting Lomat at 126:

People are overrating a Rigo vs Loma fight which is likely to not be very exciting, and likely to be a Loma win primarily due to size advantage. This would be like Ward moving up all the way to Cruiserweight to fight Usyk. We know Ward is a big talent and the #1 P4P, but going up to fight a MUCH bigger opponent who is very skilled is probably not going to turn out well for him, especially at his age. That's too big of a jump (25 ****ing pounds). Sure, he can use roids to closen the gap, but nobody wants to see a tainted fight.


I want Lomachenko to eventually go up and fight Mikey Garcia and/or Linares. Those are the fights we should be pushing for. Anyone without an agenda could admit and realize Mikey and Linares would be a more riskier & tougher fight in which Loma could get laid out.
