Yes or No Poll regarding Catchweights

[bzkfn]

This fight can be at a catchweight, but again, unless both have the opportunity to meet at the 147 limit, the fight should not be for the Welterweight title.

Who cares if its for a title or not?

These guys (Manny, Cotto, Mosely, Oscar, Floyd, Marquez etc) have all conquered multiple weight classes and won mulitple world titles.

They are the elite fighters of our age and now the ultimate challenge for them is to fight each other, not for more 'belts'

These fights between p4p stars who have won world titles across divisions are BIGGER than the weight class they take place in and the belts they fight for.

It's not about world titles to these guys now, its about fighting the very best.

It's the HIGHEST GOAL of boxing. The weight classes and belts (appalling as they are) exist to provide us with a framework in which to find the best fighters but once they are p4p greats they transcend that.

The fights most fans want to see, the fights the fighters themselves want are the fights against other p4p champions.

As they all don't weigh the same one fighter fighting in another fighters weight class disadvantages himself and as we no longer care in these instances about weight classes or belts (the fight is bigger than this now) they compromise and meet in the middle.

It's totally fair, it's totally acceptable.
