Obviously Mikey Garcia is a much more dangerous opponent, and that is why we will never see Loma fight him. Still, if he can beat Rigo, than Loma really is the real deal. On the other hand, Rigo is also old and has to have a lot of ring rust.
And Loma and everyone else knows he will get more credit for beating Rigo than anyone at 130. If Loma was about legacy and getting credit, he would be facing Garcia. He is not, he is about money, and it seems smartest to fight an elite opponent much smaller instead of an elite opponent who is bigger than Loma, like Garcia. Nothing wrong with that, just saying there are a lot of bums he can face and then their is Rigo at 2 and Garcia has the toughest possible foe. He is fighting probably the second toughest fight he could though, so he will get credit for that.
He loses credit for fighting a bum who lost his previous fight and then crying that he doesn't get credit. You do not get credit for beating some cashier from 7/11. Fighting such a bum is disgraceful enough, but then to cry about everyone taking note that his opponent came in third in a small-town Toughman contest is amazing.
