First topic message reminder :

1. Boxing has a rich history of having proper weight limits for divisions.....135/147/154/160 etc...Grabbing alphabet boys and Promoters should be forced to have more respect for the history of the sport..we have weight limits for a reason..

2. Catchweight is cheating in my opinion...basically gaining an advantage at the bargaining table....If you are a welter and fighting for a welter title... Should be allowed to weigh 147....Or else what's the point!!!

3. Sure catchweight makes some interesting fights but had Leonard insisted Hagler scale 156...we probably wouldn't have had the best Marvin available..so it makes these fights less authentic......

Catchweight is there for only one reason to gain an advantage on a naturally bigger foe...

Non title for catchweight please..Win a title the hard way like everyone else and stop filling so-called legacies with cheating victories..

The thing is...It can only be used for one thing...That the more marketable fighter gets an advantage..

Because if you're a $150k fighter and someone offers you $3m bucks you are going to take it..

A title which carries such a different meaning nowadays, but no less threatening.
