The 8 lb conundrum

[Beercules]

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?

Shut your cracker ass up

Get real 8lbs to a MW is nothing 8lbs to bantamweight is huge.

You read ****** sht like this and its so just ignorant with fans as to what's real in boxing.

Oh coo, that's how it works? So 8 lbs is nothing to a MW. Then 16 lbs is nothing to a SMW. Then 25 lbs is nothing to a LHW. Then 50 is nothing to a HW. The bigger you are the less weight matters.. So Ward could fight someone 200+ no problem without excuses or Usyk could fight Joshua without size mattering...gotcha

Lol, a bigger frame holds more weight, common sense .

I've seen plenty of guys 5-6 and 200+ lbs haven't you?

All this is moot since Rigondeaux agreed to move up. Notice he didn't say he'll only move up for easier competition but not the top dog.

The extremists on both sides will never give credit to the other side. I think if GGG was fighting Ward at 175 in September and KO'd him he'd get no credit from the side that hates him, Loma etc; and conversely if Rigo KO'd Loma or if Crawford was to move up and KO Canelo for example they'd get no credit from the other side.

People have made their minds up and it's not entirely based on boxing.

GGG is densely boned and has a huge frame. Rigo is tiny, simple.

I disagree. I think the guy moving up should absolutely get all the credit should he win. I'm just confused by the hypocrisy from certain posters about the same exact weight difference in 2 different fights where one they wanted to see the bigger guy win and give him loads of credit and another where they are already discrediting a possible win by the bigger guy

It's simply confusing...

And 6.5 guy that's 300lbs , the bigger frame can hold the more weight simple science kid.

Your pointless points are skipping around ******ity.

It's just funny how quick the excuses came out to me. Like a week ago it was impossible that Loma would agree to fight and equally impossible that he could win now it's a mismatch and the win is already dismissed before it's even happened.

Not sure why people that close minded even watch the sport.

8 lbs is 8 lbs. there's no way around that fact. It's science lol

That makes no sense at all.
