    Lomachenko offered Rigondeaux a smaller man, a fight. He would not meet him halfway, instead insisted that he move up a full weight class. He also will not move up a weight class to fight one of the most popular, most powerful young fighters in boxing (Walters).

    Ward offered Golovkin, a smaller man, a fight. He would not meet him halfway, instead insisted that he move up a full weight class. He also will not move up a weight class to fight one of the me most popular, most powerful young fighters in boxing (Kovalev).

    So it seems to me, that either both Ward and Lomachenko are bullies, or both Rigonreaux and Golovkin are cowards; so, is Golovkin a coward or is Lomachenko a weak bully?

    You can't compare Loma to GGG.

    Loma might have a better resume than GGG despite only having 5 fights and just turned 27.

    no one is a coward, Rigo and GGG both dont want any part of Loma/Ward though it's clear. I'm not really sure what's going on wtih the loma/rigo situation though. I'd have to educate myself more before commenting on it.

    Ward never offered GGG a fight, where did you get that from?

    Suppose it depends on who you're a fan of.

    Hehe, well I myself hold fighters to a standard that they aren't obligated to face opponents outside of their division (although I don't like how Rigondeaux negotiated against Loma but we don't know all the details and really only one side has come out and said anything so.....whatever)

    So for me it's neither.

    I don't think Rigondeaux fight will happen now, GGG-Ward may not happen if Ward moves up and has no intention of coming down but I believe Loma-Walters and Ward-Kovalev will probably happen.

    Generally you can't duck fighters that aren't in your division, but both have really backed themselves into a corner and can only blame themselves.

    As a fan me personally when you spout out that all that talk about everybody ducking you like both have, when a top guy calls you out fight.... In both cases it's one division, I give Rigonduex more leeway because he's actually defeated an elite P4P fighter and imo a prime HOFer in Donaire. With all the so called hyped that is really unacceptable.
