    Paquiao vs Marquez was only made after Marquez showed he couldn't perform at his best above 135 LBs (That opinion was wrong but that is what people thought after the Mayweather fight.)

    Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux is being made now that it is a 130 lbs fighter vs a small 122 lbs fighter (still a great fight though.)

    Martinez vs Chavez took a lot of chasing from Martinez and his promoters to get the fight Marvila documentary on Netflix shows what they had to go through to get the fight.

    Don't see Bradley vs Pacquaio as a fight nobody expected 140 lbs champ vs 147 lbs champs is a natural fight to be made.

    Pacquiao vs Cotto and Donaire vs Rigondeaux were unexpected fights though.

    Has Haymon ever let one of his fighters fight Rigo? Just curious. Bob has twice.

    People likes to repeat what others said. Top Rank has great matchmaker in Bruce Tampler and has made countless of great fights.
    Most time we don't know what happens behind the scenes and other politics involved. But ultimately if both fighters really want it. We will get The Fight.

    Rigo has been actively pursuing this fight, full credit to him for agreeing to meet Loma at 130.
    2017 really deliver from front to end.

    Nonsense.

    JMM put on one of his best performances of his career in Diaz I. JMM put on another one of his best performances against Katsidis.

    Rigondeaux ducked the first time.

    People were saying that Arum would never let Pacquiao near Bradley (young, hungry, undefeated, prime black fighter).

    The fights were made, dummy.

    Yes at 135 lbs Marquez was still seen as amazing and the fight wasn't made, then after Mayweather and him looking not so great above that weight the fight was made.
