    So you'd be okay with it if GGG demanded a 168-170 lbs rehydration clause from Ward?

    It's clear that making weight on fight night is a lot harder than making weight a day before. So if demanding a catchweight is ducking, then rehydration clause is a bigger obstacle and more blatant ducking. That's my point.

    youre justifying a 15 to 20 pound weight advantage through rehydration I understand. Agree to disagree not acceptable for smaller weight classes it equates to 20% of their weight.

    If you're referring to Lomachenko, then your numbers are ridicuolus. The weight difference between Lomo/Rigo would've been around 7\8 lbs on fight night.

    Dude, you can't expect Active fighters to make The weight on fight night. Can you imagine Canelo weighing in at 154 right before he steps in The ring? Or Brook For 147? It'd be slaughter.

    If you demand your possible opponent to make The weight on fight night, you're reluctant to make The fight. Period.

    Kennedy and Marroquin were both for the 122lb title. Are you referring to fight night weights?

    Which is at least a full division heavier; and that's rather a lot at the lower weights.

    if you want to pretend to be a bantamweight draining down to 126 when in reality you are a lightweight blowing up to 145.

    Rigo is a natural bantamweight he accepts it, his weight only fluctuates four pounds 122 to 126.

    clownelo knows he is a middleweight with his anorexic bulemic azz he just wants an advantage.

    And It'd be the same with Santa Cruz and Frampton as well. Yet Rigo had no problem calling them out to fight anytime/ any place. Just like GGG with Ward/Froch/Chavez.

    End of the day Rigo was offered a super fight which pitted 2 amateur greats against each other and after all the whining he couldn't get a big fight he bottled it.

    Rigo didn't dare to be great....
