Seriously.
They should under no circumstances be allowed for either sanctioning body or ring magazine or considered for "lineal titles", in fact I don't even think they should be allowed on a fighters pro record.
It's too quick a way to make a mockery of a fight by draining a guy under the guise of a catchweight, and damn near all the champs are doing it now, and the "bigger" star you get the more they take the piss with them. Floyd, Pacquaio, Cotto i'm looking at you guys.
I remember the days when great fighters didn't need every possible advantage to go out there and prove they were the best, those days are gone.
