    ...dragging guys up not one but TWO weight classes. If it were anyone else, like for instance Floyd Mayweather, the detractors would harp on it for 10+ years after the fact...

    You are harping on about it, as a detractor.

    So you're thread kind of proves itself wrong.

    Has Loma v Rigo confirmed to be at 130 yet?

    I'd be inclined to agree but:
    1. Rigo and Loma's detractors have been demanding this fight even at 130
    2. Loma is virtually the exact same size as he was at 126, he walks around at fight night weight around 138, Rigo walks around at 128. The only difference is, he'd be cutting water to make 126 but return to the same size.
    3. Virtually the same dimensions in overall 'length'

    Why, when the light hits them both at just the right angle, they could almost be mistaken for twins actually. :risas3:

    Floyd dragged a man from another SPORT, how many divisions is that genius?
    I'd say infinite amount.

    Maybe I just run in different circles, but there was a lot of pushback against Golovkin fighting a welterweight before the Brook fight. Loma is a different story. It's taboo to criticize him.

    Yeah, Loma is bigger than Rigo but Rigo called out Loma so he needs to go where Loma is at. Same with Mirriaga, he accepted the fight at 130 and paid the price. He was definitely the smaller man. Loma is willing to fight Mikey at 135 where he will be the smaller man so it's not like he is just picking on smaller men. Now if he balks at fighting Mikey, that's another story.

    It wasn't Floyd that dragged him but the money that he could make.

    Did I wake up in an alternate reality where Mayweather vs Marquez wasnt scheduled for 147 welter limit at the last minute.

    Thus being a Lightweight to Welter (two division) "drag" of Marquez.

    Loma-Rigo should have been fought at 126 years ago. I feel this is nothing but a cash grab by Rigo he knows he will lose. He really has no business at 130, hell he's small at 122.

    JMM beat Pac at 147 and had success at that weight. Rigo will never campaign at 130 and has no business at that weight big difference.

    Imagine if Golovkin vs Brook was scheduled for a catchweight of 155 but Golovkin had it changed to 160 at the last second.....

    Thats what Mayweather did. Which is not only what Nay Sayer described as a two division "drag" but worse...
