    It’s hilarious that they are that stupid to where we have to point out the reasons why a guy like Wladimir wouldn’t be hated but a POS like Floyd would be.

    For me, the Castillo fight doesn't mean much as it relates to this matchup.

    What does is Floyd's lack of experience vs slick southpaws with a high boxing IQ, and the lack of pure boxers he ever fought until years later at 147. A slick, smart southpaw wasn't something he ever faced until a faded Zab, and that's being generous towards Judah's mental level.

    I still can't rate Loma at 135 until I see him fight there, but at 130, I don't think Floyd solves Loma before Loma solves him.

    Rigo's balls are in your mouth. It's the highlight of your life. Hopefully Loma will dare to be great, instead of being carefully steered by Arum. I'd like to see him fight someone his size, with athleticism and hand speed. We can almost g
    Bad skin in that flush punches, or his gloves being pounded into his face cause mice under his eyes. He had a couple mice from a few Rigo jabs. He jad a couple mice from Marriaga pounding his guard. Wait till Garcia or Linares start connecting a little, you will see.

    Because we are here debating boxing and it shows people for who they really are when they don't give credit when it's due that's why. Wlad got hate here as well don't get it twisted and being a ass can endure you to fans as well look at Tyson Fury for example.

    But I thought Rigo was a big puncher and FACE BREAKER doe! Lol I thought Rigo was technically a little better than Loma though! Had a slightly higher fight I.Q.! That’s what you idiots were saying! Lol

    And no.. It’s Rigo’s balls that are in your mouth dummy. Or at least they were before the fight until you jumped ship I guess. Why don’t you be a real fan and join your boy in radio silence??

    Kind of like Micky in Rocky 2. “Well if you’re going to just sit here and throw it away then damn it.. I’ll sit with ya.”

    “Well Rigo if you are going to be a gutless troll that goes completely quiet after talking years of dumb **** and getting dealt with, then damn it.. I’ll join ya.”


    Be a true fan.

    Who were these pure boxers/slick southpaws with high boxing IQs that Floyd didn't fight?

    You could easily say that Loma hasn't fought a slick fighter with a big reach advantage. And don't say Walters, because Walters isn't 1/30th the fighter Floyd is.

    No but that is irrelevant.

    Lomachenko has been a champion since his 3rd fight, beaten 7 fighters who where current, former or fought for world titles all in 11 fights. He's a 2 weight world champion who's been forced to move up in a short space of time due to being avoided.....but now he's got to move up 12 lbs to once again prove himself?

    Rigo was shamelessly avoided at super bantam and chose to stagnate there as opposed to moving up or down sooner....he was offered the fight at 126....turned it down to only get the fight at 130.

    Not Lomachenko's fault. But this is beside the point the fight is not at 147 or 130 it's 135.
