I forgot to answer this directly towards you. Sugar Ray Leonard VS. Lalonde for the LHW championship at 168 and considering Sugar Ray was the #1 p4p. Julio Cesar Chavez VS. Pernell Whtaker at 145 for his Welterweight title and JCC was the #1 p4p. Oscar De La Hoya VS. Bernard Hopkins at 158 for the MW titles, even though Oscar at that time was not the #1 p4p but he was in the late 90s.

And no one was complaining about catch weights with Hopkins-DLH, Hopkins-Wright, Hopkins-Pavlik, JCC-Whitaker, Floyd-Marquez, Leonard-Lalonde, Oscar-Pacman (And 99.99% of the people out there predicted DLH by KO).
