So the Berto-Ortiz fight was at a catchweight

[Spicoli]

Don't think it mattered all that much. Ortiz always seems a natural welter growing. Not like we have 8 divisions where its clear anymore so it gets to be a hodge podge. Belts at stake another thing but they seems to becoming less and less significant.

I discovered this info while browsing on another forum. Some guys gets slammed in the sport for winning titles at catchweights, other guys gets excused or praised. That's the difference.

These are quotes from the other forum. And it sums it up perfectly with this inconsistency.

Maybe U should read that again.Berto's team went after Ortiz,Ortiz demanded the catchweight if he were to fight.But Berto went after Ortiz is my point & that's exactly what I said,U misread homey.

That isn't the same as team Pacman asking to fight Cotto & at a catchweight.Team Pacman demanded Cotto & the catchweight.Berto's team went looking for Ortiz & Ortiz demanded the catchweight to fight.

That's extremely hypocritical. If you hate Pacquiao winning a WW title at a catchweight, you should have just as big a problem with Ortiz winning a WW title at a catchweight.

Hey I hear you man. Your right on consistency. I think its more incumbent on the sanctioning body to take charge of its trinket and who is ruled fit to meet for "Championship". Ironically for Berto trinket which was given in a farce of a match up. They strip guys on the scale often, one way title fight because of weight etc. If they want to bend and bow to a network (?) or entertain the fighters making rules for them its just a testament to how irrelevant they are. One round into that fight the shiny pos the fighter held over his head at the end was an after thought.
