      That's more acceptable, because Pac's career is still ongoing, but to belittle a boxer who gives us nothing but great fights against equally great fighters for him not to deserve to carry Duran's jockstrap is waaay over exaggerated...

                  Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it still customary for weight classes to be determined by fight night weight back then?

                  When did the whole weigh in the day before fights really start. I suspect that has caused catch-weight fighting more than any other factor.
