In this thread there is already a response saying fighting Rigo would be taking the easy route, other responses saying fighting Salido would be the easy route, and another response saying fighting either would be the easy route and that he has to fight Mikey next.
Just wanted to point that out...Comment

Orlando has been ducking for a year since Loma moved to Super Featherweight. He's turned down career high paydays and knows the outcome of their rematch. He can make as much money fighting two or three guys in the division and actually have a chance at winning than taking a guaranteed L against Hi-Tech in the rematch and he knows that.
And Rigo never really wanted to fight Loma. He pretended that he wanted to only to back out of the fight right before it was finalized on paper. Remember, they were supposed to fight before when Loma was still a Featherweight. See it for yourself and look at Rigo's facial expressions when the reporter asks him about why he pulled out according to Loma. He gets very defensive and says they're in different divisions.
Loma will be fighting mismatches until he moves up another weight class. The whole division knows what they're up against and none of them like their chances. They ran like **** at 126 and now are at 130 lbs which is what Loma already accused them of doing and said they were all fake champions.Comment

Even at this stage of their careers I'd like to see the fight happen. Just to see these two highly skilled boxers in the same ring. I do wish things would have been different during their early careers especially Loma because I feel like this fight would have been utterly amazing if it happened 4-5 years ago.
If Loma bypassed the 2012's he probably would have turned pro around the same time Rigo did, would have been easier to make 122 for the fight 4-5 years ago too......I'm just a little sad because it would have been way more special at that point especially for Rigo. But again, I'd still love for it to happen, even now.Comment

He probably won't face either. Top Rank will find some bum coming off a loss or that was inactive for a long period of time.Comment
