    Golovkin against Canelo
    Pacquiao against Mayweather
    De La Hoya against Mayweather
    Klitsckho against Joshua
    Rigondeaux against Loma

    These fights wouldn’t have the same outcome if it’s prime vs prime

    Loma would always have been the bigger man and a nightmare style for Rigo.

    Ya all good shouts besides Rigo-Loma. As the others have said, Rigo never would have had the size and Loma's style would always be a nightmare for him. I cant think of a worse nightmare in boxing than being a counterpuncher who generally fights solely off the back foot and going up against Loma, especially at a size, height, and reach disadvantage.

    May-Pac might’ve had the same outcome but the fight would’ve been very different. They were both past it n not hungry. Getting insane pay checks. Which all amounted to a glorified sparring match. If both prime the action would’ve been faster, pac would’ve taken more risks and Floyd would’ve had to do something with them. Loma would’ve had rigo’s number regardless.

    Loma and Rigo technically come from the same background in the ams by being Soviet trained. Loma has seen Rigo's style at least 200 out of 400 fights, he was always gonna beat him stylistically because Rigo fights too slow.

    Prime Manny would have made Floyd dig deep like he did in the first Maidana fight. Don't let that A game b.s. Floyd says fool you, he was using his A game against Chico, just put pre-Marquez Manny in there and it would have been super competitive.

    Joshua vs Wlad -same outcome.
    ODLH VS Mayweather same outcome. Oscar got a gift in the Whitaker fight,he can't beat movers straight up.

    Golovkin vs Canelo no difference. Golovkin was never a mover, Golovkin never loss his power, Golovkin was never slick or anything so I have no idea what people think he loss between the Geale fight to Canelo fight. He was not in any wars or anything so him fighting Canelo then and now would have always been the same. The only difference is that the arua of fear is gone so everybody wants a piece now just like post Holyfield, Tyson.

    It wasn't a physical fight, it was skill set v skill set, until Rigo got frustrated and started fouling then quit like a woman with a broken nail !

    BS. Loma was nailing him. Rigo knew he would be getting KTFO so he quit.
