    Down to 118 and fight who?

    He can't fight Lomachenko unless Chenko's manager gets a contract signed. After the Morales - Raheem fight, ain't gonna happen. And I think if they had this fight that will never happen, Lomachenko wins, BTW.

    I suggest you go look at Arum's recent interview regarding Lomachenko v Rigo, Arum has said team Rigo has never once officially approached them.

    Do you think every guy who one of Bob Arum's fighters has fought over the last 40 years, has actually called him on the phone? It doesn't work like that.

    Fights get made by promotional outfits approaching each other, regardless of "callouts" on twitter.

    Rigo had the opportunity to fight at 126 and demanded clauses in the contract, ie weight on fight night. Now in all honesty what makes you think he wants the fight at 130?

    Also I'm a fan of what Rigo brings to the ring and it's disgusting how hes been avoided by the top boys at super bantamweight. But imo if he wasn't getting the fights he could have moved up much earlier.

    There are really 2 1/2 "promoters" in boxing, Arum, Haymon and DLH,they decide what fights go on, everybody else, and everybody who is signed to them fights for scraps. It's sad, but that's the way it is. Approaching Arum or not approaching him makes no difference if he doesn't want the fight, if he does, he will approach you.

    Roc nation has money, but they only have a few fighters. Fighters with GYM, main events, DiBella, the other east-coast outfits, and everyone else take what the big 2 1/2 give them. That's why Kovalev gets screwed on purses, because Kathy Duva has no choice if she wants her man in the ring.

    Bob Arum is the power in lighter-weight boxing, and he will screw you, and you will like it, that's just the life of boxing right now.

    I'm not a fan of Arum or RocNation or Duva etc but a fighter must realise the position he is in in relation to making a fight happen.

    This is true, he certainly needs to contact the promoters and really try and make something happen - that's the only way to make a fight and Rigondeaux didn't do that with Top Rank for Loma.

    He is, he's a **** who's MILKING THE MANDATORIES and cherry picking fights. Loma was at Featherweight when Selby was a champion and Loma moved up BECAUSE he couldn't get the title holders to fight him, which include SELBY THE FRAUD! Lee Selby is too busy ducking the other bozo beltholders at 126 and other top names there, he didn't want any part of Loma.
    Selby would get KTFO by Lomachenko and would get absolutely schooled silly by Rigondeaux. Overrated to **** and no recognition because his personality is strange.

    Whether Loma would KO him or not doesn't change the fact that if you call yourself a 'champion' in this sport, you must fight the best and be a man. He's not entertaining, but he's THE champ at 122 is THE guy to beat.

    Sounding exactly like Blizzy when he talks about Wilder, not a good look.

    LEE SELBY, I will NEVER forgive you for ducking Lomachenko, leaving him no option but to fight Koasicha, Rodriguez and Takathun whilst you ducked him to feast on bums. NEVER FORGIVE.

    I feel that anyone defending Selby sounds exactly like Blizzy talking about Wilder. They're both of the same ilk, glass hearted, belt milking cowards.

    He should've taken on fighters at 118 - i.e Yamanaka, possibly a superfight with Naoya Inoue, even guys like Tete and Nery.

    Well so he's not "entertaining" but at least the most explosive tell me who hits harder than him at 122 who box better than him I'm old enough to tell you nobody rearrange faces like Rigo this little guy carries dynamite watch the Nonito's fight first round when Rigo hit him the first punch the force made him back up few steps we are talking 140 pounder, fighter of the year ask Mares why all those fighters avoid him. We are not promoters in this forum looking what money he brings to the table we are boxing fans.

    I genuinely believe there should be losses on records for ducking THE champ.
