Would a CW be acceptable for a Loma-Walters fight?

in my opinion the only time a catch weight is acceptible is when two good fighters are separeted by only one weight class and both have enough drawing power to cancel each other out,,now hear me out, see ward vs dawson,,168 vs 175 ward at the top of his divison,,,dawson at the top of his ideally this fight SHOULD have tooken place at the middleground of 171 or 172 because they both cant draw very well,,,perfect example. now when ur name is pacuqioa and u drain cotto down to 145 or margerita to 150 then u get into the territory where the main drawing power guy has more power when it comes to it,,,its basically unavoidable in that sense, Kind of like broner draining porter

Big guys just soak up those little guys punches. Walters is one big dude! If PEDs are not right, why have such a big guy against little guys. What is more dangerous? Same day weight limit needs to be put in place.

Everybody else is doing it so why not. You know what I hate more then catch weights. fighters not making weight.

Make the weight I don't see how Walters beats loma Ko? Walters KO'ed small darcinyan and donaire kebab was food for the axeman, and he had a size advantage vs Marriaga too

Rather see Walters vs Miura or Uchiyama

The featherweight unification lost a lot of its luster without Walters, so I'd rather a CW happen than the fight not happen at all. yes because walters is not a FW

I Would like to see Walters vs Gamboa at 130 I say Gamboa at 130 destroys Walters..Mostly what Walters has been good at so far is making weight ala Julio Cesar Jr, and beating up smaller opponents.

I wanted to see this fight bad before Saturday's fights - I still do, but now there are other fights that I want to see Walters in, and I don't mind as much if this fight is not made immediately. No to a CW...try again at 130

No Walters need to go after Emanuel Lopez belt that will set up the fight with Javier Fortuna, Loma need to get at Lee Salby, Lee Salby wants the fight but his team doesn't see if you can get Salby to forced his team

I'd rather see Lomachenko unify at 126 and Walters fight one of the champs at 130. I feel a similar way, let Lomachenko get more belts at 126. Let Walters get a 130 pound belt and in maybe a 2 years Walters still at 130 Lomachenko can go and up and fight for Walters 130 pound belt.

This forum is hilariously full of bs sometimes. All this concern for Loma, as if he is a small guy. He comes in at nearly 140. The weight between Rigo and everyone he fights is bigger than Loma vs Walters would be, but Rigo must move up do floyd? GGG coward! cotto? GGG or coward! GGG to 168? He is a small tiny puny MW do Consistency would be nice Loma vs walters is a damn good fight at 126 or 130, both supremely talented big dudes. So stop it. Loma doesnt need the compassion. He is no tiny dude on a island like Rigo

I will be disappointed if they can't make this fight. Loma won olympic gold at 130, right? So what's the issue? Fact of the matter is, title or no title... Loma-Walters is BY FAR the best fight for BOTH men. Loma should be more concerned about making the most difficult fights and not just chasing titles for the sake of it... If Walters can not make 126, I think they should try for a CW... As both men are managed by Top Rank, it's a no brainer that Arum wants this fight to happen...The only thing going through his mind is: If I match Loma with Walters who has outgrown 126, does he potentially jeopardize all the work I've put into Loma... He has to believe Loma will win as I'm sure Loma believes he will win. Walter is one the best fighters right now, but the bigger money is with Loma down the line.

I was thinking about it and NO it should not be at a catchweight imo. It's funny that people are blaming Lomachenko if the fight does not happen next. If Top Rank still wants to have a go at it and make it happen next, I have no problem with that as long as it is not a CW. Who cares if it's not a unification bout anymore, just make it for the WBO and Ring belts (the #1 and 2 going at it). Loma's team better be careful about Walter's rehydration. If Walters feels he can't make 126 anymore, then he should simply move up and try to capture a belt at 130. I don't think Loma will stay at 126 that long anyway. They can then meet at 130. 130 has a lot of great potential fights.

In this situation, yes. Walters can't make 126. It's a fight we all want to see. Have the fight at a max weight of 127. Walters can then go to 130, Loma back to 126. Good for fans and quality nice payday for both. That sums it up nicely. And just to satisfy my curiosity Dunn, how do you see the fight playing out?

128 lbs would be fine with me. it kind of sucks that it won't be a unification any more, but it's still an excellent match-up

As long as it's not for Loma's belt. Maybe 128? I'd really like to see this fight, but obviously Walters can longer comfortably make 126 lbs. yeah cuz loma fought at lightweight in the amateurs...

I think catchweights can be fine though they tend to be abused. But that being said, Walters might be too big even for 130 imo..making a fight with Lomachenko unlikely. Won't be too long before we see Walters at lightweight.
