    People still bring up Mayweather being a weight bully against Marquez to this day, even though Marquez "asked for" that fight. Bringing a guy up 2 divisions is bringing a guy up 2 divisions. It seems to me a number of Lomachenko fans just want to pretend this fight is on an equal playing field which it clearly is not.

    406-2 boxing record, 2 Olympic Gold medals, the creme la creme of Greek-Ukrainian genetic athletic elite, natural perfect Golden tan on tourquise sparkling eyes.

    You comparing him to some French Peasant with an HGH gut & no proven capability at an elite Athletic level. Those are the fans that Vasyl the Great is better off without!

    Go down more times than he ever has in his career. Loma hits hard enough to KO him also.

    Loma will do exactly what he did to Russell Jr. He will find Rigo's best weapon and negate it. In the case of GRJ it was his speed Loma was able to get off first so GRJ's speed wasn't a factor.

    Has any fighter got full credit for beating a fighter who moved up 2 full weight classes for the fight?

    Mayweather blatantly ignored the agreed upon weight. Lets not try to overlook that tidbit.

    The fight didn't suddenly become a size mismatch when it was at 147 rather than 144. It was already a size mismatch at 144 and only marginally more of one at 147.

    Not saying it only became a mismatch after mayweather effed the agreed upon weight. Just pointing out the circumstances with this particular bout.

    Love this board. Weight advantage are only bad for certain fighters.. Cherry picks are the words most people like to use SMH

    Very few Lomachenko fans even asked for this fight. It was Rigo fans pulling for the fight to get made. Most of us are just waiting for this fight to be done with so Lomachenko can move on.

    Weight jumping is not uncommon. Pac jumped straight up to SBW from Fly. He also jumped up from LW to WW to face Oscar too! Legend!

    Hopkins jumped two to face Tarver too..
