Would Rigo always get outclassed at the ATG level?

    When Lomachenko is 48 years old, let him move up to weight classes to fight one of the top pound for pound guys who is in his prime, has three or four inches in height on him, as well as mass. A beat down is guaranteed.

    In order avoid a long drawn out debate over the hand I'll just leave it at this. Nobody is buying it except Rigo stans.

    Why spread lies? Rigondeaux never priced himself out of any fights with LSC, Frampton, or Quigg. Haymon saved LSC from the arse whooping, when Oscar told Leo, that it was time to step up and the best need to fight the best.

    No debate, X-Rays didn't show a break, photo did show his knuckles were swollen, an indication of a hand injury. There doesn't need to be a break for there to be a serious enough injury to inhibit success and confidence in your activity. That's all I'm saying.

    I don't believe anything form Rigo's camp or mouth. His word is not to be trusted. We all heard the BS he spewed towards Lomachenko and it was all proven to be BS.

    Anything Rigo says is to be questioned at this point. His word doesn't hold much weight anymore.

    You don't have to. Lomachenko and his manager even stated a long time ago, that everything had been agreed to for Rigondeaux to move up to 126 to fight him, but Rigondeaux was only offered 400K, so the fight didn't happen.

    So Rigo priced himself out according to this story which seems plausible.

    Tu hablas espanol? You do realize he doesn't speak hardly any English right? So what did he say that you are questioning?

    After having been paid more than 700K against Donaire, and 500K against Amagasa, declining 400K against one of the new Pound for Pound stars, isn't pricing yourself out. You're just trolling hard at this point. lol

    That he would never quit, that Loma is afraid or Rigo, that Loma doesn't want to fight because he will lose, that he will destroy Loma.

    It was all lies, clinches and quitting.

    Rigondeaux would have spanked guys like Barrera, Vazquez, Marquez, etc. at 122. He could probably move down to 118, and whoop everybody right now.

    It is, I believe that boxing is a business and people are interested in maximizing profits. Rigo is very bad at putting ass in the seats and eyeballs on the TV. Who cares if he was paid 700K and 500K against Amagasa? He's not worth it. Just because somebody else will pay you more than your worth doesn't mean everybody else should. Rigo did eventually accept 400K and Loma accepted $1.2M, so once he decided to not price himself out he could show up and hold before quitting.

    JMM couldn't make 122 so I assume you're thinking of little brother Marquez. And Barrera from the first Morales fight? I mean damn, that is a ****ing major, major ballsy assumption right there. We're talking about a legitimate, pure ATG fighter in his prime. Ehhh, after the showing against Loma I'm gonna call BS on that, big time.
