This victory gives nothing to Lomachenko

Gamboa was not 37 when he fought Crawford was he?

 

Yeah he was. He was pfp number 1 until he retired.

 

No he wasn't, he also wasn't listed top 5 p4p, one of the most avoided fighters of his generation like Rigo.

 

Salido was bettering Loma. Lmao. ****en alt.

 

Did Rigo lose to Salido?

 

And Manny took his spot.

 

Loma lost to Salido, what relevance is it to my original point?

 

You had no point.

 

That's not how pfp rankings work. You're not given that status. That's something you have to earn. Pac was always #2.

 

Go back and read lil man, stop deviating from my original statement. Short attention span syndrome

 

Was he not? I'm pretty sure Gamboa was listed p4p top 5 at one point though if not definitely top 10. I mean Rigo shouldn't have been listed top 5 in 2017. A win in 2013 should not keep a p4p spot 4 years later with in-activeness and mediocre opponents.

 

PAC definitely earned his p4p status based on the breadth and depth of his ring performances. Floyd couldn’t be considered p4p because he retired so the next person who was on his level holding down the #2 spot was raised to the #1 spot.

 

I don't think Gamboa was ever top 5, he was just in the top 10 if memory serves. I'm not saying I even disagree with you on Rigo's p4p standing being inflated, but the reality is he was pretty much universally considered a p4p top 5 fighter. My original point was, Loma's win over Rigo is better than TC's over Gamboa.

 

Nope. Rigo was 37 and moving up 2 weight classes. Gamboa had fought at 135 already. Are we forgetting how badly natural 122 pounders and below age? I wouldn't even call him a natural 122 pounder, more like a natural 118 pounder. The truth is Rigo had a great win in 2013. After that he was inactive and fought bums. He almost got stopped by Amagasa ffs if you want to bring up Gamboa's struggles.

 

My point is that it's his second fight as a professional. Hell, I tend to disregard the losses in a fighter's first 10 or so fights because he's still learning. There's no question whatsoever in my mind that if Loma rematched Salido today, that Salido would be sent home in traction. Obviously I don't really hold Hops' first loss against him.
