    Famous catchweight fights

    Hopkins-DLH 158 lbs (but Hopkins decided to come in "light in the ass" and came in at 156)
    Whitaker-Chavez 145 lbs
    Meldrick Taylor-Terry Norris 150.5 lbs (what a ****ing odd ass catchweight) Norris comes in light anyway at 149 lbs
    Hearns-Leonard II 163 lbs
    DLH-Forbes 150 lbs
    Gatti-Ward I, II, III 142 lbs everytime
    Hopkins-Winky Wright 170 lbs
    Hopkins-Pavlik 170 lbs
    McClarnin-Pancho Villa (Villa's last fight before his death) 121 lbs

    Interesting side note: save for Gatti-Ward II & III, the naturally bigger man has won every time (everybody knows Whitaker won the fight w/ Chavez)

    Interesting note. One of the reasons why I feel SOME cotto fans are being too harsh on pacquiao, the advantage at 145 is STILL in cotto's favor, not Pac.

    Also, after all the times I watched the gatti/ward fights, I still had no idea it was at a catchweight, or I simply forgot.
