    "I wish all fighters nothing but the best...I never fought a guy that was that small...he was smaller than that...honestly, they didn't look like they belonged in the ring together...it really was no damage done to neither side...real stiff, robotic fight...nobody really landed like no killer, solid shots...you can look at me and Diego Corrales...I can't take that away from Lomachenko...he done what he had to do...a small good fighter will never beat a big good fighter," stated promoter and future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather, who shared his thoughts on ESPN's comparison of Vasyl Lomachenko to his reign at 130 pounds.

    Void is very jealous because he never had skills like Lomachenko, did not win two gold medals, did not win two world titles in less that 10 fights, never had the legs of Lomachenko, angles, Lomechanko has never had to cheat to win either. Void lost two fights.................Lomachenko never fought an opponent who had a record of 0-0-0, a person making his boxing debut! Void is void!

    I'm no Floyd hater, but this thing I notice:
    Floyd was a fan of pac. He was seen jumping up and down when pac knocked out morales.
    It wasn't before pac starting to jump to his weight class before the jealousy and sense of insecurity creep in.
    Same thing with Loma, he will not have anything bad to say about Loma now, but wait till Loma start dominating 3 or 4 weight classes and you'll see the same insecurity emerge when comparison are made.
    Mark it!

    I think he meant in comparison to Mayweather.

    Does this change anything that he said in the interview though?

    He's never fought someone that small. Not seeing the argument here.

    The size differential between Lomachenko and Rigondeaux is the same as Saline Jr.'s fight w/ Pacquiao. Saline Jr. is a jealous little juiced slut.

    Saline was older than Rigondeaux when he beat Pac.

    It's you who is the jealous little slut.

    Saline was well-preserved and was juiced (750 ml, baby). Rigondeaux was well-preserved. Pac was old and shot, had a career full of wars, and suffered one of the most violent KOs in modern times in the twilight of his career.
