    The 8 lb conundrum

    If Rigo is too small to go from 122 to 130 then how is GGG fine going from 160-168 for a Ward fight.

    Answer me this all you guys already discrediting a possible Lomachenko win saying It won't matter because Rigo will be too small. Would you have discredited Ward for winning s fight with the same 8 lb difference being given up vs Golovkin?

    Tough choice fkers...

    You can't be serious. The smaller you are the more weight matters. You wouldn't expect rigo to fight someone 30 pounds heavier. But they do it in heavyweight all the time.

    Rigo ring weight 128 ish. Gg ring weight 170 ish

    2 division vs 1. It's simple math

    Would Ward get credit for beating Gg at 175?

          Meet halfway sound fair to me. Rigo should have taken the 126 when he had the chance a while back.

              At 130 pounds, 8 pounds is 6.2% of the limit.

              At 168, 8 is 4.8%.

              The higher the weight, the less the 8 pounds matters.

              I can't believe I have to explain basic ****ing math and common sense - come on man.

                What???
                If you eat more calories than you burn you gain weight no matter if you are 5-2 122 or 5-10 160... 8lbs is 8lbs no matter how you look at it. It's no harder for a small man to gain weight than a bigger man. It's science.
