Help With a Catchweight Question Wanted
I'm not an avid follower of pro boxing, compared to most on here. I have a couple of questions:
1) In recent history, say the last decade, how many big catchweight fights have there been?
2) How many of those fights did the boxer coming down in weight win?

Pacquiao, Mayweather, Martinez, de la Hoya, Hopkins, Alvarez have been involved in a number. There have been quite a few actually when you think of the biggest name fighters in the last decade.

In how many of those instances did the bigger man win?

By bigger man I mean - the man coming down in weight.

Hopkins beat de la Hoya from memeory at a catchweight. Martinez against williams (I think). Mayweather v Marquez? (although Mayweather didnt stick to the catchweight agreement). I would guess the trend is much more in favour of the smaller guy going up though.

Hopkins v Pavlik actually I think Hopkins was coming down to a catchweight also.
