    Lomachenko is 5'5 then. Rigo has a 2.5 inch reach advantage on him, and Loma has a 2.5 inch height advantage. Same dimensions in length.

    I personally find Rigondeaux entertaining because he's in punching range but I can understand those who call him boring. If I were a casual, I'd die if he was on. At the end of the day, he doesn't 'fight' and that makes his approach to boxing a little more farcical but hey I'm impressed by him.

    There are good fights at 126 for him but I doubt anyone will take it. Instead I see Frampton moving to 130. Quigg will probably follow suit. Leo will look to fight some cab driver after Mares.

    Mares doesn't want it. Oscar Valdez will not be allowed near Rigo. Selby will follow Leo's level of competition outside of Frampton and not fighting anyone in the UK. Galahad will keep on talking about how Quigg is avoiding him all the while not staying active and not even trying to challenge Frampton. Garry Russell will follow Selby. Josh Warrington will continue calling out Selby and fight whatever stiff Warren finds for him on Nicola Adams main event cards.

    At one point in his life, he probably did weigh 115 :)

    What''s the difference between those guys and Flores? Inoue is as big as Rigoneaux, but he cuts weight to 115. He's looking for guys moving up, not Rigondeaux, and at his age, I can't blame him, but if he wanted Rigo I'm sure he could get him. Rigo just fought in Japan last year.

    Yes, it literally is HIS fault that he is "underappreciated".

    Rigo against Russell, Jr. would be a good fight to watch. Rigo is the coward, he holds and hits, then hit clearly after the bell, counts on Roc Nation to cheat for him, everyone saw Bob Bennett lie like hell after Count Drackula wanted do disqualify Rigo for cheating, but it was clearly on vidoe and Bob Bennett still kept lying............

    Chocolatito has completely maxed out at 115 and is not as effective there.

    Yes convenient that he decided to move up over a year and a half later after Loma last fought in the division. Clearly he was waiting for Loma to move up. :duh:duh

    Yeah, IMO he was waiting for Loma to move up.

    Also, he started tweeting about moving up since last August.

    I personally don't buy into tweets meaning anything, but it seems some other people do. For those, why believe the round of tweets implying Lomas ducking him and ignore the others? Did he really stick around a year without moving up for Jazza Dickens and Chucky Flores?
