Where money destroys logic?

The issue with all of the weight divisions and still having to have catch weights. lolol.....

On the one hand, the sanctioning bodies want more weight divisions and belts in those divisions because the multiple divisions ensure that along with more belts they get more sanctioning fees.

On the other hand, catch weights are the only ways we get to see mega stars from other divisions hook it up. So, not every guy can make a particular weight- take for example the dangerous fight Chad Dawson had with Andre Ward. He hurt himself more than he tried to make weight. But, we DID want Mayweather vs. DLH and DLH vs. Manny, and the only way it could have reasonably happened in time is if we had catch weights.

Money is the root of all thing stupid but lucrative!

To his credit, his last fight with Pulev wasn't all hugging... but he could be a bit better with engagement. But when he does engage he gets chinned.

I'm pretty sure DLH/Mayweather was not fought at a catch weight. Just because Floyd can't get up to 154 doesn't mean it is a catch weight fight.

Edit-just checked and Oscar weighed in at exactly 154 so no catchweight

that is true but he tried to hug pulev for the entire first minute or so, pulev caught him and rushed in and then got caught himself and was hurt

so wlad didnt have to cuddle him anymore
