As good as Rumble is, he´s a quitter, he has no fighting spirit, and has no heart. He has a quitter mentality and there´s a big list of fighters like that. Its a shame because he´d be so much better.
Romero at LHW might not be the best due to his relative small size, though all he needs vs rumble is to get him down or use wrestling on him and he quits. Quit versus DC. And punch him a bit and he wants out. If h ecant get you out fast and knows it´ll be a long fight again he´ll quit.
He just has quit written all over him. He´s still beast, and could Ko romero, but romero is still so sturdy, not as much at lhw, but even whittaker who hits so hard, it felt like he didn´t do all too much damage on romero when he was just standing there
Romero definitely could beat rumble and vice versa. but lightwork - depends. It could be lightowrk the other way around aswell. Romero doesnt have the best fight iq though, like when he stalled vs whittaker, and yes rumble should be the fav - but not right now i think, last fight he didnt even want to fight he just wanted out so he did all he could to lose as fast as possible. such a guy will probably not win when he just wants out, even though he perhaps should win easily.
