    Default Re: Catch Weight - Title fight?

    140.1-147 is the Welterweight class? Wow... you learn something everyday.

    Maybe if we still had same day weigh ins then people who walk around at or near to 147 would be Welterweights...

    But that's not how things are any more, as I have said things have changed... virtually everybody drys up now... they find a weight that they can do it effectivly at.

    Guys who campaign at 140/147/154/160... what ever... none of them walk around at the weight anymore.

    Things have changed since same day weigh ins and a whole entire division of established fighters aren't going to be shifted up a division or two just so that manny can dominate an 8th division. By beating the man at Light Welterweight he's already beat the top fighter of the people who would end up in the 147 class anyway if we had same day weigh ins again

    Every time Pac has fought with the exception of ODLH I guarantee you that he will have been heavier than he was when he weighed in, even Hatton... the same habits of drying up apply to Pac too... not a problem then though is it? If you weighed Pacman in the ring against Hatton he would of been in the Welterweight divison... it's a good thing that we go off the WEIGH IN then isn't it?

    The more he moves up the less he'll have to do it... eventually he will get too far and that's just a fact. That's the only reason Mosely is tempted down is because Roach suspects that he has finally moved up to the limit were these guys are just too big.

    Well in that case fight guys who are weighing in as Light Welters... If guys weighing in as Welters are too big then they're too big.
