      No, the fight was at light heavyweight.

      The fight was at 175. They both came in a couple of pounds less than that - you can be a bit under, just not over the limit.

          The Winky Wright fight was at a catchweight of 170m as is the Pavlik fight. The Calzaghe fight was at 175.

              But for anyone who doesn't get it, 170 still equals LHW. It was just a gentlemans agreement between them really, so that Winky wouldn't have to be too fat.

              A better example of a catchweight is Pavlik v Taylor 2. 166 is really SMW, but this was two supposed MWs fighting. In this case it was an agreement to go over the weight.

                Preach my brother!

                All of you who watched the fight and know the circumstances need to stop being reality-warriors and start reading boxrec.

                    I know, it was still Light Heavy really, but it was a modified version
