Ray also fought at LHW and was only a few pounds over the MW limit when he fought Joey Maxim and was winning before the heat caught up to him.

I agree cw's are crap, catchweights started by Leonard in the 80s and caught on to guys like Chavez, De La Hoya, and now Pacquiao.

It is what it is in today's boxing.
