If Rigo is a great win for Loma, why is Floyd not given credit for Jmm?

No boxing fans asked for the fight.

You like your unrelated points don't you.

Boxing fans wanted Rigo vs Loma at 126 a few years ago.

Nobody want that **** at 130.

Maybe you need to check the posts on here and on YouTube from 6 months ago.

Also check the posts from last week.

Floyd came out of his fake retirement to tango with a lightweight who, let's face it, was never as good as some people claim him to be. Could've and should've at least fought a guy like Mosley in '09 considering how hot he was after whooping Margarito's rear end. Beating Crybaby at 144 (came in at 146 at the official weigh in) was a joke.

Loma-Rigo, on the other hand, was a dream match for hardcore boxing fans. You've gotta love & know boxing to appreciate & really enjoy watching these two tango in the ring. Although, it became apparent after 2-3 rounds that Rigo had no business being in the same ring with Loma. Dude was still undefeated & looked unbeatable though last week.

Both are good wins. But Rigo had an aura of unmatchable greatness in skills -- at least at his weight. JMM was well-respected, but clearly past his prime and way outsized by Floyd's much larger frame.

JMM was outclassed by Floyd, but Rigo had his soul taken away by Loma, a result that was indeed very surprising considering the massive kudos he had enjoyed for taking all of his opponents into deep water and drowning them.

JMM kicked ass at 147
Rigo can't do **** at 130

That's the biggest difference.

JMM and Rigo both jumped 2 weight classes..the difference being is that JMM accomplished so much more at the weight he jumped to.


Plus,Loma wasn't coming off a long layoff like Mayweather.

Loma/Rigo was a dream matchup but not at 130.

JMM had some big wins at WW

Rigo can't do **** at 130

Rigo took all the risks at 130 and Loma none.

What real fan wanted to see that?

All the fans saying they wanted to see that in the months previous.

Many picking Rigo to win, to expose him and to school him and even to KO Loma

So what?

Picking Rigo to win doesn't lessen the risk of jumping TWO weight classes.

No, it shows that many wanted to see the fight and thought that Rigo would win.
