    Neither was a big win. Loma had the integrity at least to say so.

      JMM was a great fighter and future ATG. Floyd was coming out of retirement and didn't miss a beat. Not only is it a better win than Lomachenkos, outside of Fury taking Wlads soul, it's the best win imo in the last 30 years or so.

      Greater doesn't mean better necessarily either, Rigo and Lomachenko was supposed to be a chess match similar to what Sweet Pea vs Floyd could have been, but the difference here is both Floyd and JMM were far more accomplished fighters and far more was at stake. Outside of us purists, no one gave a damn about Rigondeaux/Lomachenko.

      And only casuals and cats who DKSAB bring up the weight discrepancy. Real fighters and fight fans know weight played no role in how that fight played out. It was an absolute masterclass, while JMM did later lose to Bradley, Floyd was the only one to ever make JMM, one of the greatest combination punchers in history, look almost amateur.

      If we're being honest, these fights don't even warrant comparison.

        So you're saying that if a boxer has a height, size, and length advantage his win can be discredited. Correct?

          My opinion is that Lomachenko's over Rigondeaux was the better win. My reasons are, Rigondeaux was a 2 time Olympic Champ, with a 475-12 win-loss record. Although 2 inches shorter he had a 3-4 in reach advantage. He was the 122lb champ with no better fighter in sight. This was his first loss for 15 years. He landed FIFTEEN punches in total over 6 rounds that's 2/12 punches a round. Was completely outclassed.

          Marquez was a jumped up featherweight, going up to lightweight only to fight Casamayor and Diaz. Mayweather was an unbeaten 4 div champion, with a 5" reach advantage, as well as being the much bigger man, used to fighting welterweights and up.

          He broke the agreed weight limit. .
          Well put. Neither win is great tho. A fight between guys 2 divisions apart is a pointless endeavour.

            Is that what I said?

            Bro. I dont get why so many of you think youre so damn slick trying to frame your own narrative.

            I was comparing the size of the fighters.

            Floyd was HUGE compared to JMM and that difference in size was bigger than Loma/Rigo.

            Is that me saying what you think i said? No. But feel free to take it any way you want because come on. I've been here long enough to know you aren't gonna change your bias.

            Honestly you guys are so ****ing dumb. You'll take one sentence out of what someone said and keep at it because you need to feel so good about yourself.

            Oh i sorry I hurt your feelings when I talk about Mayweather. You want a ****ing hug or something?

            You think Mayweather can't be critized for CHOSING to fight a much smaller JMM?

            Lmfao. You ****ing people.

                This is very hard.... But since Floyd refused to make weight I will go with Loma vs Rigo

                    BS would you like to add some proof, some side by side pics no camera angles. Because 2-4 pounds is not huge and its easy to prove that May has never been over 152 fight night and JMM was 150 fight night against Floyd .
