    who says hes picking past prime fighters? you? rigo is no spring chicken and making him quit is one of the things some people say is most impressive about him, at least pac isnt smaller.
    if he wants to say its because pac is old, and you want to believe him, fine... but dont pretend its some kind of obvious and justified example of how it should be done.

    One thing I'll say though, can you imagine the stylistic match up between Pac and Loma. That **** is quite intriguing. You have two guys who are in some aspects quite similar. Southpaws, both love to combo punch, fast hands, feet, changing angles.

    He didn't feel that way towards Rigondoux.

    And here we go again. I think we'd likely see as horrible a one sided match as the styles would allow for if Pac decided to come back to 135 in a spiritual successor to Pacquiao vs ODLH.

    Now I don't especially want to see that but if people stupidly keep clamouring for it like they stupidly campaigned for Loma to fight Rigo then they'll get what they want and then **** all over it afterwards when Lomachenko wins. Book it.

    liking loma prohibits me from being who i was before loma came along? because i like loma is why this reasoning dont sit well with me. he dont want pac cause hes too old, he dont want mikey cause he needs a tune up, now mikey might not be back. how many historically significant fights does loma think he has left, with the time and opponents remaining?

    True....Loma is right
    The Mathysse fight was corrupt
    He fell down way to easy
    I understand huge payday .

    But 50 year old, 4'11 Rigo, 4 weight classes smaller than Loma, was a good opponent?

    How much money could Loma make? He should take it if fans/networks wants this fight, no matter how old Pac is this will likely be his best payday so far.

    pac is one of the top 30 greatest fighters of all time, and still blasting out contenders 2 weight classes above loma. aint nobody getting picked on in this match up.
