I remember Chris Arreola having quite a bit of buzz around 2008 and 2009.

Its the way that he lost. There is alot of shame in that. Nobody expected him to quit, alot of people were picking him to beat Loma aswell. He was too hyped up and turned out a dud in his biggest fight

dude i am sorry, nonito donaire was a more proven fighter than lomachenko when rigondeaux beat him.

there was no hype about him. he was a proven world champion and proven amateur. he wasn't as good as the guys who thought he was an all time great thought, but that doesn't make him a freaking dud. FFS the guy was one of hte very best boxers on the planet for years. saying anything otherwise is revisionist history.

Come on, help me out here...guy was from overseas, I'm gonna say Australia. HBO was high on him as rugged and tough.

He took one good punch, and he was done, didn't want to fight anymore.

Kostya Tsyzu?

Nah, no one really rated him that high. He was exciting and being a Mexican heavyweight helped but besides that no one really expected him to be world champ.

If he was that good why did he quit against loma? where was his genius ring iq/tech skills????? why hadn't he moved up to 126, if he could not get fights at 122???

so he wasn't a p4p fighter and was overrated the entire time? and he fooled dozens of the best fighters and trainers in boxing who thought he was a truly great talent? and that amateur resume which may be the very best ever? also hype?

he was 37 years old at least when he fought lomachenko. he was not only a 122 lber fighting a guy who had grown into 130, he was a little 122 lber. he had three fights since '14 leading up to the fight. he was not at his best! not saying he would have ever beaten lomachenko, but that he was a much better fighter in his prime and that he accomplished much more than quitting against lomachenko.

not trying to be a ****, but were you watching boxing in 07-12, when donaire was one of the best fighters in the world? rigondeaux picked him apart and beat the hell out of him. one of the better wins of the decade. and ffs use your eyes man and watch the fight. the guy had special skills and talent. he just came to pro boxing as an old man in a young man's game.

He still turned out a dud in his pro career when it really mattered. If he showed some heart in that fight instead of quitting because he is being outboxed i wouldnt be critical of him.
