who is the catchweight king?

[plaster]

who is best known for fighting at catchweights? are catch weights good or bad for the sport of boxing?

[jrosales13]

I think Bernard is 3-0 in catch-weight fights.

Pac is the most known for his catc-weights.

SRL had a whole new division created for his catch-weights.

henry armstrong. . . basically every single fight was at a catchweight.

are catchweights good for boxing

uhhh hello w/out catchweights we wouldn't have seen classic signature fights such as:

-- Oscar vs. Bernard
-- Oscar vs. Pac
-- Floyd vs. Marquez
-- Pac vs. Cotto
-- etc, etc, etc.

if only floyd would have honored the catchweight. . . well, he would have won the fight catch-weight notwithstanding, but still it was pretty female-like to not honor your word. . .

-- Oscar vs. Pac

Why do people still say that that was a catch weight fight?

The weight limit was 147, no catch weight.

No, definitely not. Was RJJ/Ruiz a catch weight fight because RJJ hadn't fought above 175 before?

147 is 147. No catch weight.

And lol @ Oscar fighting at "154+".... He fought what? 2 fights above 154 in his entire career? One of which was a catchweight. His last fight before Pac was at 150.
