    Why in the world would he move up to fight at 154 (Zero money fights or "super" fights right now), when his "Money" fights are finally lining up at the weight he been working to get those fights.

      who cares if garcia has called him out, spence knows full well garcia is too small, you guys act like hes forced to fight him. Whys he in no rush to fight crawford but hes happy to fight garcia, that one doesnt need marinating? and spence has fought at 154 so if hes really struggling for opponents there s plenty of options there for him

        Some people seem to forget that it was the fans and boxing media, and Rigo himself, who pushed for that fight, were saying that although Rigo is smaller, he is faster, more agile and hits harder, and that Rigo’s skillset would nullify the size difference.

        Loma himself didn’t really want that fight. He wasn’t bragging about his victory over Rigo, as he knew he was the bigger man.

        But keep yapping.

          People that care about context care. Context is something that people who are horrible at making arguments hate.

            I feel he should be chasing Crawford and demanding that fight..Garcia should not even be an option..Its pointless..Garcia should be calling out Loma or Tank

                Considering that Rigo was going to be in the WBSS Bantamweight tournament but had to pull out since he "couldn't safely make the weight anymore" I don't buy into the "jumped two weight classes" rhetoric.

                  Im not saying that at all...and that wasnt the point that i was making in my post. Alot of fans didnt give him credit while they were the ones that were picking him to lose, get schooled and get his jaw broken and all that ****.

                    How come anytime a Black person percieves and calls out a racial double standard people like yourself automatically say their playing the race card ?

                    Is it impossible that racial double standards actually could exist ?
