Middleweight begins at 155 and goes to a max of 160. There is no rules to state that you must weigh a minimum of 160 to fight for the middleweight title. If someone chooses to weigh 155 to fight someone who chooses to weigh 160 where is the problem?
They are within the weight category. Catch weights in boxing should never ever include a title. You're fighting for a title within a division. To qualify you must weigh between 155 and 160. Anyone that says he must weigh 155 to fight me should only do so in a non-title fight. It's up to the organisations to tell the boxers that they can get ****ed if they demand catch weights. It's that simple.
You want the belt? You can't make the rules. Fighters get away with it because they have all of the power. Dumb ass dip **** lazy **** Alphabet organisations should set the rules in accordance with their requirements to fight for their title.
I don't blame any fighter that seeks to gain an advantage by demanding a catchweight. There is no blame there, there is no hard feelings. Sanctioning bodies should decide but their too much of a ****ing ***** to do so. Please pay us, ohhh please pay us. That's all they care about. ******s.
If I was Froch's promoter, I would definitely advise him against it. Defend against Degale and then make another killing with Kessler 3 or Groves 3 if he can make a splash again.
The fans would love to see GGG - Froch but I wouldn't blame either man for spurning the chance.
This whole Shannon Briggs stalking saga has a real WWE ring to it. Would make one hell of a promo if he was ever successful into goading Wladimir into giving him the payday he so desperately seeks. :lol1:

Andy Lee wore a knee brace when he fought Cotto a few yrs back. No advantage, knee still gave out.
Wonder what the issue of a knee brace is. Cotto probably requested a ban because he's the A side, like he said in face off. Haha
You sure that wasn't Yuri Foreman?
Arum has ****ed this one up. Pac won that 8 rounds to 4. Bradley will never be a P4P star. No power and no entertainment. Hope Pac takes the rematch and whoops his ass even worse.
There is no chance in hell a Brook UK PPV outsells a Khan PPV.
People would pay just to see Khan knocked out.
You need to factor in the "hate" buys like Floyd does.
I'm not really rooting for anyone. Despite the generous judging towards Burns I can't blame the guy, he's just the fighter.
I got Burns.................................by robbery :lol1:
When a fighter goes into a war, a little bit of them never comes back. Khan has been in too many wars. I believe he is damaged goods. Alexander will knock him out in december.
