    False. Rigo wanted a catch weight and rehydration clause, Lomachenko said he could have either one but not both. Also Lomachenko has been as low as 132 in his last couple fights with 138 being his career high.

    138 aint 126 its 12 pounds which equates to about two weight classes.

    If fighters want to fight they do. come in at equal weight on fight night and do the damn thang.

    dont look for advantages if you are as good as you think you are.

    The same reason you give Golovkin a pass; fanboyism.

    Should every fight in which a fighter from a smaller weight moved up be held to the same standards?

    I think anything below 150 yes, because those few pounds matter. Thats why guys come in heavier and pay a weight tax to the other fighter. I think in the heavier weight classes 160 and above it matters but i dont think as much.

    what is evident these days are guys draining down and comming in on fight night 15 to 20 pounds heavier.

    However this is case specific. Rigo has never come in on fight night heavier than 126 its a fact, and normally its 122. this is his natural weight.

    Both GGG fanboys and haters seem equally hypocrite on this matter to me.

    lol More lies. Rigo was 128 or 129 against Cordoba (6 years ago) and Lomachenko made his debut against Ramirez at 129 and was 132 in one of his last couple fights, 134 in another.

    Where and when? How long has it been since he cried about people ducking him? I can't even remember. Who was it that he claimed was ducking him? Seriously, if you're gonna' throw this out there, please provide quotes and sources.

    There have been these straw-man ducking threads polluting the forum recently that I suspect are trying to set precedent for some massive opponent-evasion. But who are these threads shilling for?
