When this fight happens it will be a great one!

floyd and manny are great, but they were not 5'3 either dude...and they also got tens of millions why rigo was only offerd 5k to fight a guy who could possibly come in at 140...and i do remember seeing lomo over 135..look another guy said 138 was his highest...and if a guy is in your weight class than u have to fight him, but if he isnt then to me it is a bit different..but shame on walters as well i dont like ppl who play that rehydration game..and i've said that time and time again...it is a cheat and it is unfair

but walters only got away with it for one fight..he was only at 140 for donaire and then he couldnt make weight

btw i just looked 138.5 for lomo vs walters....that is 12 lbs higher than rigo's normal weight..and lomo hasnt quiet proved he would take a cw or rehydration clause for the smaller fighter

Walters never weighed 140 in the ring with Donaire. He was 138 to donaires 133.

Rigs is said to post his in ring weight on facebook sometimes. Allegedly he stated he entered the ring at 122 for Donaire and Amagasa.

OH WELL THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE INTERESTING WITH WALTERS..IM SURE THERE IS EVIDENCE HE WAS 140..BUT I MAY BE WRONG..I KNOW LOMO HAS BEEN 138...NEITHER MAN HAS NO BUSINESS IN THE RING WITH A 122LB IN THE RING GUY...SORRY THAT IS JUST FLAT bs

You may be mixing fights up. Walters failed to make weight against Marriaga, which means he was likely in the 140s in the ring. Lomachenko was 138 against Russell Jr. if I recall correctly. I agree. Props to Rigondeaux if he fought either one of them.

[killakali]

he hasnt refuse to move anywhere..122 is ripe for him at the moment by the way..wba has him in line with 2 top fighters and donaire wants a rematch..no one has offered him to move to 118. he does feel entitlement i guess..but when you have 2 golds and a p4p within 3 years of pro boxing u should feel that..u shouldnt let fans and networks who try to throw you under the bus win. i wouldnt...is he boring..yes? but is he the best?? the work speaks for itself...
all hbo had to do was get him dance partners..instead they made him put his career on hold and are now only inviitingh im back if a guy is 10lbs or more bigger..3 inches or more taller and just as skilled...that is some BS

actually it means that people don't tune in for his fights so he doesn't have much value. It is a business. That is why Rigo fights in Macau, Japan, Ireland and not on network tv. No one is interested and then he gets a shot on a canelo ppv and stinks up the joint. There is no guarantee he gets Quigg or Frampton either. They would likely vacate but we shall see.

Walters has been above 140 in his last two fights. I think he was 145 for one of them (may be the Marriaga fight).

i think rigo would have a shot and lomo would to, its just not advantageous for a 36 year old to be going up in weight that he cant even rehydrate from to fight a SKILL fighter...
no one does that..
srl went up to fight a stronger fighter
floyd went up to fight stronger fighter

both men where always the faster guy
except when ray just started doing it for money

so my point is when u go up u take an advantage with you..u just dont be the great small man vs a great big man...
i dont care for fights like that

rigo was 126 in the ring the last i remember...that is the same that most 112lbers are fight at...lol would u like to see lomo vs them as well??
im a lomo fan and i damn sure wouldnt.

Oh, I get it. So you need your fighter to have all the advantages. I guess when you d1ckride floyd for so many years, it becomes second nature.

This fight will never happen.

Bob wants Loma to move up to 130 ASAP so he can hand over the WBO belt to Oscar Valdez.

The longer Loma sticks around 126, to try and make the Rigo fight, the longer Valdez is left without a title and the the angrier Bob Arum will get. Bob wants Valdez to hold the WBO strap and you better believe that he'll never put them in the ring together, despite the fact that he has both of them signed.

Rigo wants the fight at CW with rehydration clause while asknig for millions more than he's worth.

YES! I've been saying the Valdez thing for a while now. Glad someone else sees it. I like Valdez, but he can't beat Loma and it's obvious Top Rank would prefer for Valdez to get the belt than for Loma to have it.
Hispanics=more money. Well certain Hispanics, Cubans don't seem to count. Eastern Europeans/Central Asian don't matter that much to Top Rank. They promote/manage their careers horribly and rarely get an TV time.
