    If Gamboa can go up and fight big ass Terence and Barrera is fighting monster god King Artur, why can't ***** ass Rigo fight Loma? Loma doesn't even have killer power...

    GGG haters and Rigo haters keep reminding me of each other.

    I don't think that Rigo is a coward. I think that he's difficult to work with (promoters, managers) and demands too much money. People are definitely ducking him who he would like to fight, he's just never given them a reason to fight him, either by being reasonable at the negotiating table or by putting on good performances in the ring.

    There are guys who can make any fight happen that they want but don't because they are cowards, but Rigo isn't one of them. He legitimately can't make fights happen and other people are ducking him, not the other way around.

    If Barrera beats Beterbiev like he did Shabranskyy, would that elevate Ward's status as a LHW destroyer in your opinon?

    But didn't Loma, or Loma's camp say that Rigo isn't a draw and so that fight didn't need to happen?

    Tete turned it down already. Lol if I'm not mistaken he said he's not a super bantam and Rigo is too big for him, eventhough the guy is like 5'10 and Rigo is 5'5.

    To be fair Gamboa got his ass kicked after Crawford realized Gamboa was too small to hurt him. For his part though Gamboa > Crawdad.

    Rigo is absolutely a coward. Lomachenko agreed to fight him. Rigo agreed to fight him. Then Rigo pussied out. The point is Loma and Gamboa all moved up to find fights.

    Hold your horses this is an old newspaper, Rigo was willing to fight him at a catch weigh with a max limit weight, Loma's team did not like it. Loma fought in the amateur in the 132 division Rigo's was a 118 pounder and still could make it.

    Low blow calling a pro boxer a coward, for your knowledge Rigo comes from the Cuba boxing school normally they draft the kids when they are very young 6 or 7 years old basically they been fighting all their lives I encourage you to watch a video in Youtube " Sons of Cuba"so could learn how they hardened those kids to become fighting machines and the best amateur in the world. Stop fooling yourself.
