Strictly speaking, with Armstrong vs Robinson the consensus #1 fighter vs the consensus #2 all time p4p, I don't know how you get better on paper. Want one of the greatest defensive fighters vs one of the all time greatest offensive fighters Pep vs Saddler. Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore fought each other a couple of times. Whitaker vs Chavez wasn't that long ago, and Pacquiao vs Mayweather practically just happened.

But matchmaking isn't just putting two big names together. Rigo and Loma aren't equally matched so this fight will likely suck.

 

I have been thinking that this fight may well be the best fight that this generation will get to see for years to come. Both fighters are fantastic to watch. One is a go forward fighter that creates angles and confuses his opponents by changing rhythm and pace with a multitude of different patterns. The other fighter works off what the other fighter feeds to him, and is second to none as a counter fighter with sharp reflexes and can peel off decent punches as fast as lightning.

Rigo needs a fighter like Loma, just so he can be seen as an exciting fighter. Loma needs Rigo so he can show that he is as good as he is made to look against other fighters who have no idea how to treat his method of boxing.

Rigo and Loma is in my view the very best fight on paper at this time. The only one who might turn this matchup into a real stinker is Loma. His workrate will take a dive if and when he finds out Rigo is a master of countering his style of boxing.I think Loma will be drained of almost every ounce of confidence the first few times he throws and hits nothing but air.

If he can land at will, then I will give him all the accolades he will so richly deserve.

For me its Rigo by UD.

 

On paper it's the biggest fight right now. Hopefully it will be as good as we expect it should be. It could be a Sweet Pea vs DLH which if I were judging that fight I would have it as a no contest. They did not match up style wise.

 

I thought Ali-Frazier I was the greatest fight on paper.

 

This is an incredible fight that I can't believe isn't being talked about more

The skill level in this fight will make Canelo vs GGG look like two drunken idiots fighting outside of Taco Bell

 

Wait.....So Chaves Jr is there?

 

Lomo by late TKO
GREAT FIGHT

 

Loma doesn't have enough power for this to be a greatest fight on paper ever status. If you can't bang hard enough to get Orlando Salido to back off then you have very obvious and clear vulnerabilities. And I say this as a Lomachenko fan. I like the guy in all seriousness, but we should calm down here.

And Rigo is 37 years old now. Can't see how a 37 year old can bring that type of talent and athleticism to the ring.

 

Yes on paper because there's never been anything even close to it in terms of their overall career success (Amateur and professional).
If you just go on professional accomplishments it isn't (imo)
