    Donaire is a whole level below Loma but Rigo seems to be more in attack. 37 is a pretty old age to really expect much out of him. What do you guys think?

    Rigo would do better. He'd still lose possibly by quitting a bit later than he did. Rigo could not deal with Lomo's physicality, footwork and never ending type of an attack. It seems none of his opponents can these days,

    Nope. Loma is just a lot better than Rigo, doesn't even matter what weight category they fought in.

    Loma is faster than Rigo, and a smarter boxer. There is just no chance for Rigo, Loma is the worst possible style for Rigo ever.

    Avicii is awful. I was on a plane with him once and he looked liked he'd been exhumed. Say no to drugs kids.

    Rigo would have always lost to Loma. Vasyl is just a better fighter. Way better fighter.

    A top fighter can beat a bigger fighter, however when you have two top fighters the heavier fighter would probably win, now, let's say that the fight takes place in 2014 when Loma was a featherweight, I still believe that Loma wins, but probably by decision or in a better performance because Rigondeaux would at least try to punch even tho I have to admit that something about the mental toughness of the cubans worries me a little.

    Not at 130. Rigo has no business at all fighting at 130. The guys at 122 make him look tiny.

    No, the gap was too big.
    Just think about the 2013 Donaire win for a minute, and then think about Donaire's next 3 bouts in a 1½ year timespan, ending with the disastrous Walters fight.
    Then what Lomachenko did to that same Walters and Sosa for instance.

    At the end of the day, Lomachenko is at least as skilled as a prime Rigo, has a higher punchoutput and is bigger. Boxing logic tell you that Lomachenko would win almost every time.
