I would rather see that as well than how it is now and inside there own divisions its back to being a fair fight but when you have superstars jumping divisions it can get real messy as it is whith Floyd and Pac today , but its too easy to say *** catchweights , its to easy to say the official weight is the all and end all when its not the weight during the fight , it really is a ridicules situation that the officials could change for the better but there is too much tradition and red tape for them to stand up and fix .Comment
