[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, there is a good possibility that his fighter, WBO featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko, could end up facing WBA/WBO super bantamweight king Guillermo Rigondeaux.

The camps of the two boxers have been trading words in the press over the fight terms.

A meeting between the two of them would make a legendary showdown between two of best amateur fighters in history. Both boxers have captured two Olympic gold medals.

Wow! What an awesome fight this would be? Could be the fight of the year and more? Will definately be better than Mayweather & No. 48 any day of the week!

I dunno about FOTY, but it'll be an extremely interesting style match-up like Rigondeaux-Donaire was. I'm pretty sure some called it a stinker or snoozefest, but I LOVED it. The skill level and handspeed was off the charts, and anything could've happened until the final bell.

I bet even if this fight gets made, Arum will do whatever he can to get the judges to screw Rigo but they will be unsuccessful because Rigo is unscrewable.

Because he knows Loma has a chance, if he had no chance he would let the fight "Marinate" or never let the fight happen.

So the Dubai delegation date is July 20th.

Should be interesting to see what actually comes out of that meeting.

As for Arum saying he wants the fight...great, hopefully it happens.

Arum said sometime in the fall...now im getting really optimistic

"I would never agree to a catchweight".

How ironic!
