Catch weight fights. Like them, hate them, don't care, or undecided?

To me hey if both fighters don't care then why should I care.
A fighter that demands another fighter move up or down is being a wimp if you are the welterweight champion and you demand that the junior middleweight comes down to you or the other way around if you are the middleweight champion and you demand the Superwelterweight champion to come up to you then that is wimpy

Then scrap the belts. What do you need them for? They are nothing but an artificial construct? Why do you need 17 divisions? Greb never asked Tunney to drop to 170. Langford never asked for a pound. Just drop the belts and let it go. You know REAL pound for pound stuff. If a welter thinks he can beat a middle then just both men show up at their best fight night weight. I mean both are fighting south of where they should be right?

Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. Nobody should ask somebody else to meet them at their weight that is wimpy. Fight the person at whatever weight what's wrong with that. I feel you are agreeing with what I said. Now in terms of scrapping the belts completely we could not do that because for example just say that Floyd Mayweather challenges golovkin and there is no catch weight just come in at the wait they choose to come in at. Well if Mayweather beats golovkin and we have scrapped all the belts are you implying that may weather is not now the new 160 pound champion then?. The winnner would have to be rewarded for having won a title at the weight of their opponent right?

They are an excellent tool in the sport. They have led to many a decent fight, and sometimes a bumper pay day too.
