    Peterson vs Matthysse is not a title fight. So what the fuck are you crying about? Who gives a fuck if Peterson's paper IBF title (that should of been stripped) and Matthysse WBC Interim title (why he even has an interim title I have no fucking idea) is not on the line. Those belts are fucking meaningless anyway. They need to be dismissed. Muthafukkas can't complain about the organizations and than bitch that there titles are not on the line. It's fucking stupid

    Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I have mine. Catchweights cheapen the significance of weight divisions. Why have them? Do away with them altogether and just have fighters meet at prearranged weights. A professional fighter is perfectly capable of making the weight given sufficient time and preparation. That's what training camps are for. A gap of 7 pounds between divisions isn't a world of difference... it's not like the divisions are 20 pounds apart. They're doing it more now, or at least it's being publicized more now than in the past... and that's all there is to it.

    Lol exactly. Just get rid of all the bullshit paper titles and those paper tigers that covet them.

    That's what pisses me off. This is not a title fight! First if all it should be. Second of all the loser is still a champion. It's bullshit.

    Are you that stupid and who's fucking crying pinhead? You are.Its not a title fight because of a stupid 1 pound catchweight idiot. Fucking combative twerp. If your pretzel logic does not work just go on the attack and try to change the topic. Heres an idea, read the thread. Shit you probably hate catchweights but pretend to like them because TitoFan started this thread. Who cares about the meaningless titles well apparently the boxers do. Hello... Now you go ahead and continue to antagonize but this is my last response on this topic. You think catchweights are needed in an already watered down 17 division system. I don't.
