Yes or No Poll regarding Catchweights

Honestly... I''d rather it not take place.

I would like to see Crusierweight and Super Middleweight go away. Too many choices.

Getting rid of Jr. Batamweight and Jr. Flyweight wouldn't be a bad idea either.

So you think it's more important to have set weight classes than for fighters to fight at the best weight?

In the case of the supermiddleweight division for example you'd rather guys like Bute, Froch, Kessler, Andrade et al were to fight at a less than ideal weight class, where their potential is not fully realised and we wouldn't get to appreciate them fighting at 100% than you would have to put up with another weight class?.

I think Cruiserweight helped ruin the heavyweight divison. It made it okay for all the heavys to be overweight and sloppy. Besides, The Cruisers all seem to wind up as heavyweights eventually. Great fights are lost when fighters hide between lightheavy and heavy weights.

As far as Kessler and them... They could fight at 168. Lightheavy is in the runnin' for best divison in boxiing history

I mean who is the sport for ultimately, the boxers and fans and having the best fights, or traditions and weight class rules?

Don't you think its putting the cart in front of the horse?

And honestly, if Cotto versus Pacquaio happens at 143 you won't be watching it?

LOL Oh, I'll watch it!

It's like when two of your buddies are about to fight. At first you remind them that it's a bad idea, but at some point you say,

"Let 'em fight."

I am fine with the catchweights if it helps get great fighters in the ring together. Who cares if it is 143 or 147, as long as you are going to see some great fighters in the ring....The bonus of the catchweight is it basically says F-you to the sanctioning bodies who are useless corrupt a-holes anyway.
