If Pacquiao and Mayweather decided to use a catchweight wouldn't that be a prime example of Champion fighting champion?

forget catchweights. there are plenty divisions, all this pound splitting is getting ridiculous. fighters should unify there own divisions instead of looking to make messed up matchups for no reason other than money.

So you don't think the Mayweather Marquez fight is a good idea? Or that Mayweather/Pacquiao should happen outside of a traditional weight class?

floyd should stop being a punk and get his ass down to 135 (which he damn sure can make with little difficulties) to fight marquez. or at 140, but these catchweights are just ridiculous. mayweather-pacquiao is the same thing. stop splitting lbs.

ppl compare pac to henry armstrong, henry armstrong would be turning in his grave if he knew the so called p4p king was using a few damn lbs get in the way of a fight. just say this, 135 i tear ya ass up. 140 i tear ya ass up. just pick a box, sign the contract and lets get it on!

in my opinion, if neither fighter is willing to fight in their opponents division, then they shouldn't be fighting each other.

That's easy to say just pick a weight class. However for instance between Mosley and Pacquiao, Mosley would be at an advantage at WW. The only reason Pacquiao fought at WW in the first place was because there was no other weight for him to meet DLH at. On the flip side it would be equally unfair to tell Mosley he flat out has to fight Pacquiao at 140.. I think there is some sense to these catchweights but they have to be approached sensibly.

The bigger the bout the better. What weight? what belts? I dont care.

Well I definitely don't give a **** about trinkets involved. There ABC's are about as important as the Trailer Park Strap. When I saw you were the last post on this thread I half thought your post was just going to say "do some work!"
