Catchweight fights you would have loved to have seen made.

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.

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)

Donald Curry v Marvin Hagler

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?
