    :D

    Admittied i picked Rigo

    I remember reading the "fighter and journalists picks" during fight week on Ring Mag and they approx 20 votes for a landslide to Doniare

    I still remind my mates in work of that pick :good

    Probably the best. He is the smallest man at 122, always shorter, and outweighed in the ring. Hopefully Flores is allowed to fight him. There will be more highlights of amazing counter punching, and slick defensive skills, and he takes the 5'9 Mexican to school.

    Loma said : "126, no rehydration limit". The rest is in your imagination.

    What you said implied some dirty weight manipulation a-la Mayweather, pac, Cotto and Canelo. But this wasn't the case. It was a standard offer to fight at the official weight limit of 126 lbs.

    I don't blame Rigo not taking the fight though, he would have lost. Loma is the greatest boxer in the game right now and Rigo is tiny even at 122.

    like clownelo draining down to 147 coming in on fight night 170 . its total bs and slaps the face of competition.

    :deal The sole reason Rigo is boring is because he is just so damn perfect. Against Amagasa (and someone else whom i cant remember atm) he let his ego get to him.
    He also clowned Donaire but Donaire had no idea how do deal with it :lol:
    Donaire stepped up the pressure and got schooled even harder :tong

    Fact is chakal is the most dangerous and feared man in boxing. and nobody is willing to take the risk. the witnessed the dismantling and destruction of a boxer of the year award winner, p4p fighter donaire. and want no part of Rigo not even in a dream.

    This actually helped me understand what the hell you were talking about. I don't mind a bit of swagger from a fighter so long as he can back it up.

    Rigo has backed it up.:good

    I am not sure if you're agreeing with me or arguing with me. Lomachenko hasn't ducked a soul in his life, he is figuratively a pair of titanium testicles with boxing gloves on. He offered to fight Rigo at 126 because that was the lowest weight he could get to, not to gain an advantage.

    Lomachenko was very willing. At 126. The lowest he could squeeze himself into. Rigo IS feared though, without a doubt.

    I hold no ill will for either guy on this one. The size discrepancy may just be too great to really make the fight.

    Completely incorrect. Lomachenko agreed to everything Rigo wanted, Rigo then asked for more money and told everyone he was too small. Rigo declined that fight, that is factual and in the history books.

    Fact is Rigo ducked Lomachenko, and has fought no one in years.
