    It was more similar to Golota vs Bowe.

    Rigo for me. Disappointing to say the least,he wasn't hurt IMO just hopelessly outclassed but however unlikely he still could of landed hail Mary shot.

    Tony Weeks knew he was cheating Kovalev, it appeared to have been planned from the very beginning..........Ward practiced those low blows, SOB told us before the fight that he was going to the body, well, he called it body, but should have been honest and called it testicle blows! What bothers me even more is that anyone could see those low blows, hell they were below the belt, to the letter on the trunks, the secret is to land a blow to the cup low, but in an upward motion to cause the most harm to the testicles, I know, I have been hit there.......................and yes, in an upward motion................Tony Weeks knew they were low, but he did what he appears to have been told to do and that's insure a win for SOB..............Golota would have loved to have had Weeks as his referee in the fights with Bowe, Golota would have had two knockouts! SOB fans are cheering the low blows! Hell, they want a fake win, does not matter to them if SOB cheats...................

    For sure it is Rigo. Talks too much then quits...
    On the other hand Chocolatito made an awesome fight , not becauae the fight was so great , but after the fight there was a great sportsmanship. Kovalev already made a good comeback so he can't be ranked in here.

    Rigondeux fall the furthest.

    Mainly because it was a quit job, but also because he was viewed as invincible at his weight and many expected him to beat Lomachenko. Kovalev had two iffy decisions and given different judges and refs those results would have been different. He's already bounced back.

    Rigo couldn't have won if his own mom and dad were judges and his uncle the referee.

    It may be unforgivable, but it is completely different from Rigo, Kovalev considered that he had won the first battle and there wasn't need to change something in preparation for the fight, and in my opinion Kovalev was and, in my opinion, Kovalev was ready for the second battle worse than the first, but Kovalyov fought until he was exhausted, Rigo, on the other hand, after he realized that Lomachenko was better, and Rigo had no chance of winning, he simply refused to continue the fight

    1)Rigo, i doubt hell even come back now
    2)Chocolatito he hasnt came back so we dont know how hes been affected
    3)Kovalev hes already came back with a bang and looks like hes headed in the right direction (also a large number of people view first fight with ward a robbery and many view the 2nd fight as a bad stoppage)

    Kov crumpled from bodyshots. Rigo didn't answer the bell.

    None of them. A loss doesn't end a career.

    Rigs was never in anyones grace in the first place. I'd say Chocolatito. He was extremely over hyped by HBO, then you had clown boxing writers jumping on the bandwagon without having seen him fight. In thin weight divisions he missed a couple guys he should have fought, then he moved up and started getting worked a bit. Pound for pound guys shouldn't get worked by Cuadras, Arroyo, and Wangek. He literally looks like a guy who ate himself out of his proper weight division.
