Catch weighs suck what is the point of divisions if you a ww fight at 147 if your a jr ww fight at 140,the boxing public does not want to see these meaningless exhibitions,or at least i dont.

I was wondering why the Cotto-Pac fight wasnt getting any publicity.

Do you feel that way about all catchweight fights?? or just 1 in particular because you are biased towards or against 1 of the fighters?

Because Mayweather vs Marquez will be at 145. Just the same as Cotto vs Pacquiao.

Juan Diaz vs Paulie Malignaggi will be at 138.

Are you seriously going to NOT watch all 3 of those fights?

honestly i have few fighters i am true fans of ,i try to look at everyfight i can evenly even if my fav fighter is losing :bhop: ,i will give credit to the other fighter,i just think the catchweights water down the idea of having divisions in the first place.

im not really a fan of catchweights either but at the same time they do allow fights to happen in cases where they normally wouldn't

Did you have a problem with it when Bhop fought Oscar delahoya at a catchweight?

That is true, but Id rather see Cotto-Pac at a catchweight than not see it at all.

i agree....i like cotto a lot but i think that he should be fine at 145 and if he wasn't confident he wouldn't of made this fight!!! no excuses for weight

i was thinking the same thing...

floyd is fighting a guy two divisions below his at a catchweight, making his opponent go up 9-10 pounds.

pacquiao is fighting a guy one division above his at a catchweight, making his opponent go down 1-2 pounds.

yet people ***** more about pacquiao's move....

Yup, I agree that Mayweather should be the one catching grief if any of the two are to catch any at all.
