That's what non-title bouts are for. Ever heard of those? Why cloud up the weight issue with catchweights? Weight issues in boxing are muddled up as it is. You got jerks like JCC Jr. fighting at middleweight when he should be campaigning as a cruiserweight. The true purpose of catchweights is to have two fighters face each other when they're at their limits of weight loss or gain. Example: When Martinez talks about fighting Mayweather. There I can see a catchweight. At some point it's too much weight for Floyd to gain or for Sergio to lose. But just for grins? Nah. Call it a non-title fight, like in the old days.
