    Then why did Ward not offer to go up to fight Stevenson when Adonis wanted the fight or why not go up right after Chad Dawson beat B-hop what a statement that would have been instead Chad did all the hard work for whatever reason.

    Would you give GGG credit If he beat Ward at 160, I don't think so yet that Chad Dawson victory is likely one of his top three best wins.

Don't know as much about GGG body type, but IMO just needs to get one of them b*tchass people in his weight division to face him. If not then he should do what Rigo will probably end up doing and go in a cash-out tour eventually at a higher weight class.

      In the meantime they don't wanna get Gamboad. Remember that?
      Hagler had great fighters come to him. Rigo and his fans constantly complain that no one wants to fight him. Then when someone does, they make excuses - catchweigths, rehydration, he small doe!

      It's 4lbs....I think Rigo is great enough to handle that. Don't you?

          Rigo is always facing bigger dudes. GGG vs Cotto is sending Cotto to the hospital, Rigo vs Loma is actually putting Rigo against a highly skilled bigger dude who comes in at nearly 140


          Fair fight > Clauses

          Not the same my man

          That's why they agreed to a rehydration clause and now Rigo wants more than 1.5 mill for Loma

            In his division nobody does that is 1000% fact for years, and nobody will ever come to him or meet him halfway even he ain't worth the risk for so little reward lets be real.

            And about the 4lbs that goes both ways right? Actually would sound more like "Its just 2lbs I think Lomachenko is great enough to handled that. Don't you?. Rigo doesn't want to get Gamboad plain and simple, and this ain't something that he came up with for Lomachenko because he is special he has been saying this 124 lbs catch weight to fight a big name at featherweight before Lomachenko was even a thing he just won't budge on it. Can't say as much about GGG since i don't know as much.

              But great fighters move UP in weight. Catchweights make a mockery of everything.

              Lomachenko is the featherweight champion, the fight should be at 126lb.

              Rigondeaux doesn't want to get Gamboa'd? Gamboa at least dared to be great. I guess Rigondeaux is happy to play it safe.

                When LSC said he wanted 3mil to fight Rigo they said it was a duck when Rigo asked for more than 1.5 they say it's negotiation tactics double standards much
                Let's be realistic LSC getting 3 mil to fight Rigo is more realistic than Rigo getting more than 1.5 fighting Loma

                  Cotto isn't too small for Canelo though?

                    Hard to blame either guy when their division is full of people not wanting to fight.

                    Rigo beat Donaire with ease and wanted Santa Cruz, Frampton, Quigg, etc...immediately after and they all ran. At MW GGG has been unable to secure fights with Sergio, Quillin, Cotto, etc...

                      So fighters who never move up aren't great period?? This era is different so I see why yo would say that, a lot of people do because a lot of fighter nowadays drain themselves to death a la Rios to make weight just to have advantages, but that however don't apply to Rigo and maybe a few others, he's never had 1 fight at 122 where he's been the bigger guy, and re-hydrates to a whoping 126 -_- he is not one of those guys you are thinking of who go up and then is when they are on an actual even playing field, and they can prove how great they really are.

                      Yes Rigo is happy to play it safe or at least not play it ******,while also leaving some room for a fight to be made. He ain't facing no Santa Cruz here and he knows it, just like you don't think 4 pounds is unreasonable 2 pounds sound even less unreasonable. Especially when it's such a juicy fight and Lomachenko would still have plenty of advantages from a realistic stand point.
