Is Rigondeaux a One Division Coward?

[KingHippo]

thanks for replying, i now know to not bother reading any of your future posts based on that ******ed reply.

I love pushing your buttons.

according to GGG haters logic, yes he is a coward. if you dont go add on a few pounds in weight and beat people in the weight class above, even if they arent that great, then that makes you a coward and a nobody. that is the only thing that matters in the sport, not winning or losing but going up in weight

..."we'll fight anybody from 154 to 168" doe.

Neither one is a coward but both haven't reached their full potential by not moving up for bigger and better challenges.

people said same **** about calzaghe when he was at super middleweight 'hes got to go up in weight'. and did he get any credit after going up to light heavy, like **** he did lol. would govlokin get any credit for going up to super middle, like **** he would.

No, he's not.

But according to GGG detractor logic, he ducked the hell out of Lomachenko because he didn't move up a weight class to fight him.

Well, that would be faulty logic, because Lomachenko never offered 50% of the purse like Ward did.

I know the real reasons why the Ward - Golovkin fight never happened, and I don't think it's because Golovkin is ducking, but these two situations are completely different.

Rigo to LOMA: I'm not moving up to fight you at 126...
LOMA moves to 130, Rigo says he is moving up to 126 now lol....

**** his boring azz....nobody gives a fk about him anyway regardless of how good he is. He can put you to sleep and look terrible against even the most unknown bum in the world like he did on the undercard of Canelo Cotto fight.

Personally I think his management messed it up. My theory is this: Golovkin is hyped up because he has an exciting style and is a big puncher. However, there was a really good chance that Ward would've outboxed him. If and when that happened, the hype surrounding Golovkin would disappear, he would no longer be seen as a destructive force of nature. I think Golovkin would have moved up to fight Ward if they gave the ok. However, it might not have been such a good idea to fight Ward without testing the waters at 168 first.

Unfortunately boxing puts way too much emphasis on losses.

I personally think it was because the timing was bad. I believe Golovkin really thought he still had a chance of unifying the division and the negotiations started just before the Lemieux fight.
