i didnt contradict myself at all the first thing i wrote was this: "the only problem with the catchweight is that its for a vacant title" thats what ive been saying all along, including in this thread.. over and over again.. i will only write this one more time so pay attention or dont respond. a champion has a responsinbility to weigh within his weightclass limit, but he also has a right to weigh up to that limit. changing the weightlimit is changing the rules which is disgraceful to the title and all the great fighters of the past who became champions following the rules rather than making up weightclasses of their own. winning titles in multiple weightclasses is impressive, the reason for that is bcuz its hard. you will be at a disadvantage sooner or later if you keep moving up or down, but overcoming that shows that you are a great fighter. thorughout the years we had a bunch of great champions who earned that status bcuz of how difficult it was winning titles in multiple divisions. then todays fighters make up their own weightclasses and act as if they did the same thing, they havent! they are manipulating history, their legacy and the entire sport. we alreayd have 16 weightclasses and up to 5 titles in each, now you dont even have to follow the 16 damn weightclasses we have! the titles will lose all meaning if this goes on, fighters will find yet another way to avoid challenges too. THATS THE PROBLEM WITH CATCHWEIGHTS! how it inflates modern fighters achievments and makes them seem like they are on teh same level as ATGs without earning it. but no title no problem. like ive been saying all along. get it? |
