As far as I know these catch weight fights are a relatively recent development. Maybe someone better versed on the history can elaborate on that. At any rate, They definitely have become more and more prevalent.
Also, it seems to me that at first titles were never on the line for these fights, but now suddenly they can be. Was the Pac v Cotto fight the first? Again please inform, all you boxing history buffs.
History aside, remarks have been made about the merits of these fights, and I wanted to take a pole to see if there is a consensus of opinion.
