Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: On Paper, Lomachenko-Rigondeaux is Best Fight Ever

When boxers ask for an opponent, the promoter makes the FINAL decision and can TURN DOWN the fight - it is in the contract!! I never picked who would win so your "swallow words" has nothing to do with any of the conversations today and you cant even see I didnt make a pick on who would win. And what part of this earlier post did you not get when I wrote when I praised Rigo: "and Rigo as fantastic as he is, does not have the advantage of a high-level promoter investing in the value of their fighter. Arum dropped Rigo out of emotion which was not right to do."Last edited by richardt; 11-28-2017, 05:39 PM.Comment

Well, there you go you are going based on his ethnicity. I don't do that. You are basing being a fan on his being Cuban and not liking Lomachenko because he's not Cuban and probably because he's from Eastern Europe. Like I said that's very common here. You fit in well.
He's better at boxing. More skill, better athletic talent, he's fought better opposition. Rigo has one good fight and that was against a guy Walters crushed. Why didn't Rigo step up to fight Salido level opposition in his 2nd fight, Russell level in his 3rd? That "has a loss" is tedious, so is Rigo better than Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran? They lost.
Was Mugabi better than Hagler entering their fight due to his "0"? Rigo has fought one opponent and done nothing (apart from duck Loma and god knows who else) since 2013.
I don't hate Rigo. Far from it. I just think his fanboys/mostly anti-any euro fighter followers go overboard on one professional win against a guy nearly 5 years ago and since then has barely fought a ranked guy. He's been given a pass on what has been as bad a run as Adonis Stevenson's since then.Comment

There's fighters with multiple losses who's resumes take a dump on Rigo's.
He's not better than every fighter ever apart from Mayweather, Marciano, Lopez, Calzaghe, Ward, Ottke the way you are claiming.Comment

He's just a fanboy rooting for fighters based solely on ethnicity. His knowledge level is very poor.Comment

Stop the BULLSHT! Not once did I insult Rigo! I even praised him in a reply to YOUR message today dumba$$! Do I have to show you the message from today?? You are just to ****** to see I am talking about the business of boxing! Secondly, Arum IS THE ONE who makes the decision on who his fighters fight! It is in the promoter to fighter contract! Arum chooses the opponent and the site!!! Who the hell do you think puts up the money for a fight so that he can make the decisions as a promoter??!!!! The fighters?? NO!! The arena???? NO! The fighters managers??? NO!! You??? NO. THE PROMOTER PUTS UP THE MONEY!! Get a clue if you have to beg, borrow, or steal one!Comment

Better than Leonard, Robinson, Duran, Pep and about all but 10-15 fighters ever too is what your implying. Again, clueless. Limited knowledge.
Of course he has a better resume. Rigo's best win is Donaire, who's not as good as Walters. Loma beat Walters (won every second), Rigo beat Donaire and that's it. Loma also beat Russell and then even the others Sosa and Martinez is miles better than Rigo's second best win.
Loma has also won a second division title and got to #1 universally in TWO divisions. He's beaten more champs too and he's been pro less than half the time and is 8 years younger. Yeah, it's not even close.Last edited by chrisJS; 11-28-2017, 05:44 PM.Comment
