Both fighters take risks in catchweight bouts - boxing - ESPN

I guess all these guys too have broken rules in boxing, because they too have fought at catchweights.

Other notable catchweights not mentioned.

Chavez-Whitaker at 145 pounds and the mythical p4p title.

Hopkins-Pavlik and Hopkins-Wright at 170.

Mayweather-Marquez at 144.

Pavlik-Taylor at 166.

I guess all of these guys were breaking the rules of boxing.

I just thought it was funny that catchweights were considered to be breaking the rules of boxing as considered by some, when it's been done since the early 20th century as stated in that ESPN article. So catchweights have been around for more than 100 years and possibly even before that.
