Welcome to Saddoboxing mate.

I agree that there is WAY too much emphasis on P4P. Maybe emphasis is the wrong word but the ratings just seems TOO Official these days...
They are re just a Magazine ratings... Ratings from a magazine that is owned by a Boxer come Promoter.

Its all very incestuous.

Now onto Catchweights. They suck. They all ways have and always will. Weightclasses are there for a reason. I mean, as it is there are too many weightclasses in the lower divisions!

Health and safety aside, negotiating over 3 pounds is IMO very unmanly.

Again i bring up my point about the Heavyweights... How is it that there is a complete objection to introducing an intermediate weightclass to RE (Note the word RE) Bridge the gap between Heavyweight and Cruiserweight, yet so many of you think that it is perfectly fine to fight at catchweights?

Fighters these days strip down to their lowest weight to fight the smallest opponents possible (again something i find very unmanly but there you go.) so its safe to assume that if they could go lower, they would..

So I just dont understand... If we all know Cotto wont perform well at 143. And we all know its a huge risk to ask a 37 year old (Mosley) to strip even more poundage at this point in his career... Why make a point for Catchweight's if there CLEARLY not viable?

If the fight doesn't work, the fight doesn't work period.
