no pro's in a title fight. I have no problem in non title fights because they can produce exciting fights.

I see it like this......If both fighters can agree on a weight where they both feel comfortable, and one fighter is not disadvantaged by having to lose or gain weight that will effect their performance,then let them fight at a catchweight. Especially if the fighter who's defending his title isnt complaining. If he's willing to accept a catchweight to defend his title, then who are we to complain?

They are not complaining because they need the money. Its not like its a fair negotiation. You know this too.

Talking about Pac-Marge....this will be the first time a vacant title will be on the line for a catchweight.

F&ck catchweights. Man up and play your part. That's how I see it.

Sugar Ray Leonard weighed 165 and Donny Lalonde weighed 167 when Lalonde defended his light-heavyweight title. The catch was that the fight would also be for a super-middleweight belt, too.

Pretty BS, I know.

OK I get that due to recent events there is emotion in the mix......but taking the emotion out of this.....what are the pros and cons?

Pro's

• There can be more exiting fights made....
• there is more of a even playing field....

Con's

• No matter who wins there are going to be excuses galore....
• The belts are defined by the weight limits....a catch weight is not living up to that belt's title
