these catchweight posts are about the dumbest things I've read since I've been on this site. So if you fight for the Welterweight title and you weight 146 your not a legit champion? What difference does it make any ways, these guy all put on weight after the weigh-in anyways!!!. Most boxers are a minimum 1 or sometimes 2 weight classes over the limit when they get in the ring. A catch weight is just another issue to negotiate, just like brand of gloves, size of the ring, etc etc. If Cotto can't beat Pacman at 144 or 143 or 147 then he won't beat him period!!!This such a non-issue if you ask me.

the issue is, time he (Cotto) spends trying to lose the weight is time he takes away from actual training and getting him in fighting shape
