    If Team Pac are to believed then you can fight at a catch weight and still have somebody's belt on the line Andre.

    Fuck catch weights... they can give fights, but I've seen them exploited by a certain coach too many times now.

    Fat James Toney against thin young James Toney. The catch weight for fat James Toney would have to be about 2 pounds lighter than his weight at the moment...basically whatever he can sh** out in a morning.

    I work with a light heavy weight boxer (I don't use all caps in posts but if I ever did it would be now). That division in 168-175. I can't tell you how many fights we look at that are negotiated weights. Light heavy that fights to 168-170, 172 max, and the most annoying 175-178 (this is probably the most prevalent light heavy fight right now). So we get a cruiser that couldn't make light heavy on his lightest day claiming to be a light heavy. At weigh in he'll probably show up at 179 or 180 (in smaller fights, you have to fight, too much time and effort in on training and you need the fight too badly not to give up the weight, hopefully you get another 50-100 bucks of his purse) and our guy will be 174.5, forget about fight night. (I'll agree that the 25 pound differential in the cruisers and the 200-225 area of heavy poses some problems but it shouldn't be our problem)

    Why would Martinez Mayweather need to be a catchweoght fight? Surely Floyd would go up one division, and Sergio comes back down to meet at 154lb light middleweight.

    Isn't that what a catch weight is?

    Yeah I see your point specially with Pacs team, but more fool the other team for agreeing if it is the case.

    It should really be separated and agreed upon legally if done.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    A guy thats always gotten me for not jumping up was Terry Norris. He had more then a few welts come to him. Have always pondered him following McCallum up or even a meet at Jr. Style wise that could have been fun...but McCallum gets him.

    Pryor should have jumped into Leonard, Hearns, Curry mesh or tried after highlight war with Arguello. Why didn't that happen?

    Styles: Foster melts a bit and Monzon puts on weight. Spr middle had not existed yet in early 70's and them meeting at "catch" or whateva may have been interesting.
