    Weather his hand was hurt or not, it just looked bad. Not like he was getting beaten from pillar to post. Fans don't forget that kind of thing. It's not like he was any kind of draw to begin with and he will probably be less of one now. :yikes:

    So if a fighter is behind he just quits?

    I would rank them as follows.

    Rigo
    Walters
    Marriaga
    Sosa.

    So yeah Rigo is the biggest quitter in the group.Because he faked an injury first it was his right hand then it was his left hand. Make up your mind you. He wasn't hurt or beat up he just quit.

    Rigo was offered a 126 catchweight, rehydration clause, and the largest purse of his career against Loma 2 years ago and turned it down.

    False. Two years ago, 126 wasn't a catch weight. That was Loma's weight class. Secondly, Lomachenko and his manager themselves stated that Arum offered Rigondeaux 400K. That's not close to his career high purse.

    It was absolutely beautiful, it was more than I could ask for, the only thing I wanted to see more than Rigo getting brutally KTFO, was that, in shame. Kell and Haye went out in valiant fashion, Rigo is a *****, plain and simple, Loma's embarrassing me, waaaaaah, I'm taking my ball and going home with it. RIP Rigo's reputation.

    And let me be the first to.....

    But I like Dorticos and really like Luis Ortiz, both BLACK Cubans. Oh well, there goes that theory of yours.

    Excuse me, 124 was the catchweight. From 122 to 124 for Rigo, and from 126 to 124 for Loma. Wrong, they offered him I believe $550 K AS WELL AS an additional $500 k to the winner from Arum.

    I give Rigo a pass on that one. Loma is just too much for anybody near him in weight and people forget that Salido was much bigger than Loma but Loma still had him hanging on for dear life at the end of the fight. Just getting in the ring with Loma, or really, just getting in the ring to fight at all automatically proofs he's braver than most. 37 years old at a lighter weight class is tough work.

    Not all time but certainly top 5 this century. But I can't think of the other 4.

    He wanted to go home as soon as that point was taken off him.

    False, if I had the time I'd link Loma's own interview where he stated otherwise. I could care less at this point its in the past, and they fought at 130 where Loma had all the advantages.

    And you were still stupid enough to think he would win.
