Rigondeaux > Lomachenko

Not only was Loma bigger but he was much faster and in hand and especially foot speed. Size advantage played one factor but one was so much more athletically gifted. Rigo looked like a statue.

Its not like a little guy was using his skills while the bigger guy walked him down. Rigo couldn't do anything and had to resort to holding and bending below the waist as "defense".

Loma is superior in every way the size advantage makes it just unfair.

One thing i noticed about some clowns who talk bad about Loma notice how they bring up that he gets bruised in some fight or he "struggled" while winning almost every round on the score cards. But Rigo in his supposed prime got dropped left and right by absolute bums and they treated him like a god p4p fighter. Imagine Loma getting dropped in almost every fight what they would say.

Rigo may have been dropped a few times against bigger opponents (as if there is any shame in being dropped by a great fighter like Donaire), but at least he didn't lose to Salido. Let's not turn this into a contest of who can badmouth the other fighter the most.

Have you ever tried boxing against a bigger opponent before? Are you aware of how much a size advantage matters in a fight? Rigondeaux moved up TWO divisions. And why do you ignore Lomachenko's own words? He didn't consider this a good win.

All I know is if they ever do fight, Loma is going to have a broken jaw...

If they fought at a fair weight, then yeah, I don't think that would be unlikely at all.

You take off that Donaire win. Loma eclipses every other win that Rigo has. Their resumes aren’t even comparable. Not even close

You can't just "take off" the Donaire win. It happened and it's not like Rigondeaux's other wins are bad (and nor is it like Lomachenko's resume is that special).

Loma didn’t bully Rigo with his size in the ring. It was a technical match. Rigo was out-skilled. Not to take anything away from Rigo though. He’s a very excellent fighter but Loma is just a better fighter

Answer these two questions...

1) Why did Lomachenko mention size as the reason why he didn't consider the Rigondeaux win a good win? Do you know better than Lomachenko himself does in this matter?
2) How old was Rigondeaux when they fought?

Rigo gets every bit of credit for that Donaire don’t get it wrong. I’m just saying that if you single out that win, there’s no other win by Rigo that can be bragged about let alone be compared to Loma’s resume.
