          Do you understand how weight classes in boxing work? If not, would you like me to explain it to you?

              So they didn’t fight at Lightweight then, did they?

                A Lightweight catchweight. They can bill it as whatever they want

                How did SRL fight for the Light Heavyweight title against an opponent who could weigh no more than 168?

                Duran vs De Jesus 1 was considered a LW fight even though it was at 137

                They can bill it as they want

                Tank vs Ryan was the #2 vs #3 LW, period

                It's a damn shame you're clinging on to the side of that plane for dear life over .5 pounds

                Give the man his just due and move on

                  I give him his due, it’s a very good win and he deserves all the credit in the world for it.

                  But I deal in reality which clearly you don’t as the fact of the matter is the fight wasn’t at Lightweight, it was at Jr Welterweight.

                  And also just to make you aware, Duran-DeJesus 1 wasn’t a Lightweight fight, hence why it was a non title fight despite Duran being the Lightweight champion at the time.

                  So your example literally proves my point You’re having a mare here son, I think you should take a time out.

                    Hmm. So this is how NSB sees it:

                    Devin Haney "Beat The Man (Kambosos) That Beat The Man (Teofimo)" = overrated.

                    Terence Crawford "Beat The Man (Jeff Horn) That Beat The Man (Manny Pacquiao) = #1 P4P.

                    Seems legit

                      Is that why it was labeled as a Lightweight bout by the media in 1972?

                      Based off your theory on weight classes, SRL should've never won the Light Heavyweight championship correct?
