    The Greatest Catchweight Fight of All Time?

    Floyd Mayweather has gotten a lot of legacy tarnishing disrespect for fighting the 130 lbs. Juan Manuel Marquez at a catchweight of 144 lbs. which as everyone knows was not honored by Mayweather.

    Having said that, what was the greatest catchweight fight of all time?

    Leonard vs. Lalonde for the latter's 175 lbs. title fought at a catchweight of 166 lbs.

    Mayweather vs. the blown up Marquez.

    Armstrong vs. Barney Ross at 142 lbs. for Ross's 147 lbs. title.

    The Pacquiao vs. Margarito fight in which Pacquiao weighed 145 lbs. while Margarito weighed 167 lbs. cannot be part of this poll.

    Leonard-Hearns 2 was a pretty exciting fight. So was Pacquiao-Cotto, although it was pretty one-sided.

    Whitaker-Chavez was an okay fight, with an unsatisfactory ending.

            Ray Leonard vs Donny Lalonde- A classic catchweight fight for two belts in two weight classes, super-mid and light-heavy.

              Leonard-Hearns 2.

              I love watching Pernell embarass the ***** outta Chavez but that was one of the worst decisions EVER!!!! Other then that it would have been a close #2 for me but then again I don't watch many fights earlier then Sugar Ray Robinson.
