    A CATCHWEIGHT.

    They didnt have to agree to 146 or 148 for it to be a catchweight.
    A catchweight is a weight limit within an actual division. WW is 140-147, so if a cap is put on the weight south of 147, then it's a catchweight.

    Pac moving up 2 divisions and Oscar moving down one isn't a catchweight. It's a fighter moving up and a fighter moving down.

      This may not be a good example because I know there are more much better there.

      David Diaz fought many times before at welterweight (147) and light welterweight (140).

      Eric Morales fought many times before at super bantamweight (122), featherweight (126) and super featherweight (130).

      So when Diaz and Morales meet and fought at lightweight (135) where Diaz won the WBC lightweight title is also a catchweight?

        How is not a catch weight?

        A light weight and a Junior Middle MEET at 147.

        Thats called fighting at a catch weight.
        no, that's called WW. there are weight classes, then there are catchweights. opponents from different weight classes can meet at a catchweight or at another weight. they can also move up or move down to meet at an established weight class.

        pac and DLH's case was weird because one moved up and one moved down, but they meet at a weight class, not at a catch weight. if they agreed to meet ANYWHERE north of 140 and south of 154 EXCEPT 147, then you'd have a catchweight there. they met at WW

        i can't believe that you fail to grasp such a simple concept

              Its a catch weight. Even the articles about the fight said " at a catchweight of 147".

                  No, that's called an agreed JR MW fight.

                  Was Mayweather/DLH at a catch? or May/Hatton?

                    Pac moved up 2 weight classes.

                    ODH moved down to a weight he aint made in 9 years.

                    Thats a catch weight even the articles talking about that fight always referred to it as such.

                      The Forbes bout at 150 says otherwise.
