    How Long Until Heavyweight Title Fights are at Catchweights?

    I mean seriously, this catchweight stuff is ridiculous. There arent enough divisions? I mean seriously, either move up or dont, its pretty simple. All its going to take is a great and popular LHW or Cruiser to come along and start demanding catchweights against a less popular HW champ. I can just see it now. After Wlad and Vitali retire we will have like Chagaev vs. Ward for the HW title at a catchweight of 208. This nonsense has to stop.

          No, but someone like ward might want to demand that a bigger HW drop weight to fight him.

            So?

            Its ok for Ward to be at a complete size disadvantage but the HW shouldn't have any hindering him?

            If the bigger HW can't make the weight he wouldn't agree to it.

            Even if you disagree remember these are grown men and they can choose to accept or reject terms anytime.

              Hopefully all these huge Heavyweights go away so we can go back to those 6'1 heavyweights like Joe Louis and Floyd Patterson. U look at people around 6'1 now they're freakin middleweights.
