    Fair enough but we all know that in boxing not every fight gets made,plenty of fights should of happened and at least in Lomos case it’s not a case of him avoiding anyone as the guy has proven in his short career that he’s no interest in avoiding anyone,size difference alongside Linares was staggering actually.

    That’s it in one,just as I won’t knock Crawford or Golovkin for beating those that are there so it with Lomo,just like Bradley said though it’s how he goes about it,no tune ups or lesser fights,just wants the best as he knows he’s so much better than everyone.

    That was when Walters was at featherweight, and still somewhat hot. Loma fought him almost a year after he stunk it up against Sosa at 130. Shelved by that scumbag Arum.

    The size difference was exaggerated. It's amazing how when Loma has three or four inches and at least 12 pounds over a 45 year old super bantamweight, it is downplayed. But when an opponent has a half inch to an inch on Loma and 5 or 6 pounds, it's exaggerated into 16 pounds, and the Loma ball gobblers get all dramatic.

    Dude, read the thread title and comprehend the crazy hyperbole BS the OP is proclaiming. Then fathom in that context that he could have taken the harder path (and left no doubt) but instead he chose the easier path. Hell, he's got Uncle Bob timing everything for him.

    It's even more amazing you kept touting Rigo to win, and now will happily paint him as one step short of an old cripple for letting you down. Hell of a fan you are LMAO.

    If he was that decrepit and undersized, what was the point of hyping him going into it?

    Gonzalez did that. Holyfield too as Noneck pointed out above.
    Fighting 40 year old shot boxers has never been a sign of chasing greatness. Unfortunately, it's part of the marketing campaign of building up a young lion by feeding him the bones of the old. De la Hoya got to feast on the shadows of Whitaker and Chavez. Mayweather and Pacquiao got to extinguish the last embers of Oscar's career. Norris got to pummel an over the hill Ray Leonard, etc. If Lomachenko is lucky he can use the ghosts of Rigo and Pacquiao to power his drive to super stardom and big paydays.

    Doesn’t matter what fans say,Lomo himself said Rigo was too small but fact is Lomos a midget with small legs and arms and as such is always gonna be smaller,he obviously doesn’t make a big deal about it but in boxing terms three or four pounds used to be a major thing at these lighter weights but like Crawford he’s having to move up just to challenge himself.
    Can’t understand why any fan of boxing wouldn’t like this guy as he’s aggressive and beautiful to watch

    Just trolling the racist pro Loma trolls. I knew he was up against it. I even pointed out he was a tad slow at times when Dickens used his legs. If he pulled the upset sweet. If he lost, so what, he's 5'3 and a 122 pounder listed as 37, but probably 45, fighting a 5'7 guy at 130 with at least a 12 pound weight disadvantage.

    Lol this is what they do,I got Selby totally wrong tonight and that’s all there is to it but with Rigo I think most of felt he’d have little chance but all those predicting broken jaws inc Ego have all either gone silent or pretend Rigo was no good in the first place lol

    What has race got to do with it?im a big fan of Crawford and Lomo and it’s a good job since those two are gonna be competing for PFP top spot.
    No such thing as pro Lomo trolls is there?its the general consensus in boxing right now that Lomo is one of the best.
