    Won't happen at 126lb at this point, but that should have been the fight all along.

    Loma has been slowly but surely putting on lean muscle so that he could fight at welter one day, I say welter because he was answering fan questions one day as to where he would like to finish his career and he said welter was his absolute limit.

    It's hard to build yourself up without juice to a certain weight, then to just drop again, so that you can just go up another 10lb for the next fight.

    Look it.......if Rigo takes it at 130, everyone has to bow down, and for him career wise, he has a few guaranteed million coming up from inevitable fights.

    But this won't do much for Loma.

      Never thought I'd hear the day someone said 130 is too much for a grown man to weigh.

        There are some small people out there man.

            How long have you been a boxing fan? Lol You've got men fighting at 105, 108, 112, etc. How much do you think those guys walk around at? Rigo's 5'4", with a naturally lean physique, and a small bone structure. Not to mention, we're talking fighting weight here, not what they might weigh if they weren't fighters.

              Yeah except Floyd would have waited until Rigo or Loma got beat up by someone else then won a few fights again until he risked it.
