    You think size/weight only matters in clinches?

      BTW TS is a guy that gave Mayweather no credit for JMM because of size and weight.
      Not anyone's problem except fluids that he was so unprofessional that he could not make weight, did Rigo and Loma make weight, yes, did they make fight day weight, yes, that's professional ******

        Rigo was the one clinching, Loma was trying to get out, don't forget that Rigo had the reach advantage dumbo

          He's every bit as good as I thought then some. A loss to Lomachenko ain't taking away his accomplishments or anything else.

          He's 37 (ancient for a career sbw name me another that was still at their peak at that age? Let alone jumping two weights to fight a Lomachenko), been hugely inactive, his legs have gone. I never expected him too win. Everyone has their limits. He probably doesn't win even at his peak he's just too small.
          Rigo is still easily one of the very best boxers out there, a loss to a ****ing Lomachenko doesn't change sch1t. It just confirmed what most thought going into the fight.

          I'm sure you can come to your own conclusion on his 5 best wins

            But Mayweather didn't use his size and weight though right?

              Your missing the point, explain how Loma used his size and weight to win, I think if they had of been the same size and weight today them Loma would have won just as easily as he did

                If this means Rigo is overrated etc what does it make all these other so called greats who lost at the tail end of their careers to much, much lesser fighters? Who didn't have half the disadvantages.

                On one hand you's claim he's overrated, one dimensional etc yet you seemingly think beating a guy like that makes you p4p? Eh?

                Let me tell you you don't win two Olympic gold medals and 7 Cuban national titles by being one dimensional or anything of the sort.

                  Nah, he used his reach and skills, I bag fluid IVayweather for being so unprofessional by not making weight in that fight, fluid didn't bully JMM in that fight, that was just fluid needing all the advantages, don't forget that Rigo called out Loma, not the other way around, Rigo also called Loma out 2 years ago when Loma was at 126 but Rigo then pulled out, so nuffy, explain how Loma used his size and weight to win gumby

                    Tell me where I said he was 1 dimensional and over rated, I didn't, I think Loma is just better in all aspects of skill than Rigo, he didn't do himself any favours quitting though

                      A bigger guy can absorb a shot better and has greater bone density thus he'd of been less likely to injury his hand and his shots would of had more effect and Loma's considerably less. Its also incredibly tiring mentally and physically fighting a bigger guy let alone against a physical aggressive specimen like Loma.

                      Nobody is saying it was just size but an accumulation of things with Loma possibly just being the better fighter included
                      Who truly knows?
