    Loma beating Rigo isn't even on the level of Ali beating Moore

    Loma threw more jabs at Rigo than Pep would have, Willie would have used his movement and counters instead of the counter/pressure tactics of the always busy Loma.

    Moore was far more shot than Rigo was and Loma was far more impressive v Rigo than Ali was v Moore.

    One guy is Archie Moore and the other guy is Rigo

    It comes down to who he likes personally. Not who is considered by the ESB faithful.

    Rigo was far harder to hit than Moore was in his fight v Ali, he never beat a top 10 fighter again after losing to Ali, Rigo could have beaten loads of top contenders straight after losing to Loma.

    Rigo is a blip on the historical radar. Comparing him to Archie Moore is absolutely idiodic.

    It’s almost like he never heard of Muhammad Ali. Things have changed.

    I meant Moore by that stage, he never beat a top 10 fighter again after his bout v Ali.

    He paid respect to Ali when he passed in a tacky way, he was standing by a brand new car, letting people know he had made more money than Ali, McGregor has stated he wanted to be in the top 5 billionaire list which is why he fought Floyd, they judge success by how money they can make, pathetic.

    I think it's ridiculous to rank Lomachenko an ATG pro even if he's looked a h2h beast in certain match ups but it does annoy me how much a very close fight in which a seasoned world champ cheated on the scales and then in the ring with a ridiculous amount of unpunished low blows is held against him.
