    Ever since Vasyl beat the hell out of Gary Russell Jr. on Showtime everyone has voided speaking his name. The only man to call out Loma was Rigondeaux a weight class below him.

    Leo Santa Cruz ( fighting smaller guys )
    Gary Russell (don't want it no more)
    Lee Selby ( scared to death)
    Abner Mares ( maybe)
    Simpiwe Vetyeka (?)
    Jesus Cellular (maybe)
    Evengy Gradovich (?)
    Satoshi Honsono (?)
    Ronny Rios (still struggling with c level comp, not ready)

    Will they just have a tournament so that Vasyl can run through them like White Castle sliders?

    Don't be fooled.

    Russell will get his revenge of Lomo.

    I don't think so. Russell was out boxed for 12 straight.

    Rigo didn't want it IMO, the only one who did was Walters.

    Most of those guys are with Haymon. Arum doesn't do business with Haymon so they aren't happening. And The Barry Boy Assassin fears no man. Why don't Loma make him an offer if he wants to fight?

    True. Rigo turned down the fight because Loma was too big.

    Loma needs a big fight his fights with Walters and Rigo both fell through and his progress has stalled. He's the truth a P4P elite but his talent is being wasted away. At this point a rematch with Russell Jr seems like his best option.

    They'll probably hide behind Haymon as long as they can. Lomo may have to move to 130 and fight Walters, Uchiyama, maybe avange his loss to Salido.

    The Walters fight should have happened even at a catch weight that was the fight to make it would have been a great match up.

    I really wish they would quit the **** measuring contest and make some ****ing fights. They are missing out on the most important factor MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

    Don King would have thrown all his fighters to the wolves and in a pit with bears to get a piece of all that action that Arum and Haymon are ****ing up.

    They need to man the f*** up and get in the ring and take their schooling, there's no shame in losing to one of the most skilled Featherweights of all time.

    The ironic thing is, all the fans on message boards who beat up on fighters and call them duckers are the very reason why many of these guys don't want to take fights they may lose, because the moment they lose they written off as losers and bums by all the propagandists on the world wide web.:patsch

    How long have they been ducking Rigondeaux? At least that long.

    Russell didn't need to improve he was good before he fought Lomachenko, the Jhonny Gonzalez win wasn't some amazing comeback, Gary is far better from a technical perspective than Jhonny is and it went basically the way I thought it would.

    Russell lost to Loma because Loma is better and will always be better, and that's okay.

    Believe me. Gary will avenge his loss to Lomo, eventually. :yep

    Probably around the same time that Lomo begins to realize that Arum's been ripping him off.
