    Perhaps but the fight will be made out to be less than it is as Rigondeaux is old as hell.

    Don't expect it to happen.
    But if it does, I'd certainly favor Inoue at this point.

    Rigo retired for like 2 years after his loss, dumb move.

    Would still be the hardest test for Inoue by far, not even sure he beats him. Rigo is slick as hell and has power of his own.

    Rigondeaux knocks Inoue out. It takes a special fighter to defeat Rigo. Inoue isn’t special. Very good yes. But not elite.

    Rigo's one of the best ever, his skill set is pretty much unmatched if you take Loma out the question..Only special elite all timers beat Rigo !

    Yep, no ones beating Rigo

    Edit: Besides Loma, but that's a different level again skill set wise. But if Loma was never born, Rigo would be bouncing up the weights taking scalps and dropping back down when the challenge is dealt with

    No one is beating Rigo? He almost got knocked out by some anorexic Japanese dude on New Year. He was losing his last fight till the KO. LOL @ besides Loma, you mean because Rigo had to jump 2 weight classes while being inactive? Loma deserves 0 credit for that win.

    Nope
    Didn't happen though, Rigo dealt with it
    No, it was a skill deficit that cost Rigo, size didn't come in to it, it wasn't a physical affair it was 2 fantastic all time great technicians !

    Yep. Weight classes doesn't matter. :risas3::risas3::risas3:

    By the way, Campbell, and Linares aren't physical fighters, and don't make it a "physical affair". I guess Loma struggling with them just shows what level he's at right. :dancer2:

    Well, its apples and oranges isn't it really. Just nice to see Rigo back after his hand injury against Lomachenko, I can see him gunning for a rematch soon !

    Not really. You Loma dickriders try and play it off like weight doesn't matter if there is no rough housing going on, but at the same time cry about how Loma is fighting bigger guys now which is why he's not performing as well even though these dudes he's fighting aren't roughing him up.

    Loma though, he's beating these big guys and yes he's struggling down to size, Rigo will come good again, trust me though on that one
