No, you will probably always need the catch weight option if the sport is to survive. Promoters often need late subs, who can come in at the last moment, that are perhaps a few pounds overweight. Also the sport has a great tradition of catchweight matches.
For instance, watching the Journeyman Middleweight fight the Welterweight prospect can be used as a main event in the small halls, and can create fascinating matches, that give value for money.
