I voted that they do affect the outcome, and for the record, personally i think they are bull****. If they didnt affect outcome or didnt really matter they wouldnt exist. I dont buy the whole its for a mental edge **** either.
Imo if a catchweight is proposed and agreed then no belts should be able to change hands. If the fighters just want the fight at a certain weight for some reason, whatever, thats cool. I think belts should be won and defended within the range of the weight class they are for only though. No weight stipulations outside the range of the weight class.

look at Margs and cotto,
I mean Cotto is campaigning at 154 but hes the one trying to get the CW, it would most definitely benefit margs to fight at the full 154 but cotto trying to go all the way down to 150... see theres not really an answer to your question on this one

People believe every word Freddy Roach says so believe him when he said every pound matters!! If it wasn't a big factor for most guys then people wouldn't ask for them...advantage Cotto.
DON'T FIGHT AT THE WEIGHT IF YOU STILL NEED CATCH WEIGHTS...ESPECIALLY WHEN A TITLE IS ON THE LINE!!!!
