    Andre Ward gets hate online for calling out Lil G maricon & fighting Kovalev at 175 but why doesn't Loma get hated on for ducking Walters and Verdejo and calling out a 122 pounder Rigo...what a B

    Rigondeaux is a much better opponent than Walters or Verdejo.

    Maybe because Rigo is one of the best fighters in the world and Walters is not. No one is ducking Verdejo either. Don't even start that ****.

    And oh yeah....:|:|:|:|

    Lomachenko hasn't been going at it for a year and crying about it. However, a nice double standard is Rigo fighting in a division where he can't get any opponents, he's older than GGG too, one elite is willing to fight him but he doesn't want to move up, no problems from the GGG hate camp with that though (except of course when it's GGG).

    I don't know. I'm not a fan of either. But there are several differences.

    Ward gets paid more. People expect higher paid athletes to risk and achieve more.

    Ward has a much better record than Loma. Proven fighters are expected to consistently fight tough opposition and not take steps backward in their career.

    Ward had about two years where he didn't fight and used up all the good will that came with building that record.

    Ducking Verdejo? The guy two divisions north who has done diddly squat to prove he is elite and who Lomachenko bested in the amateurs?

    Loma agreed to Rigo's cw or rehydration clause (but not both) and he wanted Walters but he lost his belt and moved up to 130.

    Actually Klimas said if they can't find decent opponents at 126, Loma will move up to 130 himself pretty soon.

    Yeah, Lomachenko is ducking a prospect two divisions above, you have to be a ridiculous re**** to say such a thing.

    "Lomachenko IS fighting Walters & HAS called out Rigo already too..

    Daring to be great":

    this is where ward and loma are similar...daring to be great

    these are the guys the spotlight and focus should be on...
