    In reality being that there are already many more divisions in boxing, there shouldn't even be catchweights. But to point out 1 catchweight king is asking fro trouble. It isn't that big of a deal unless it becomes a habit, which it has for 1 fighter in particular. I'll say no more on the topic.

          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.
          Was Pavlik vs Hopkins at catchweight?
          Was Tito vs Jones Jr at catchweight?
          Tito vs Mayorga.

          De La Hoya vs Pacquiao was at a catchweight because Pacquiao moved up and De La Hoya moved down so the could fight.

          Jones vs Ruiz was not at catchweight because Ruiz did not moved down. Jones moved up.


          Oscar fought about 9 times at 154.
          Sturm, Hopkins, Forbes, Mayweather, Mayorga, Vargas, Campas, Castillejo, and Mosley.

            Floyd jr. is the most well known to cheat in a catchweight fight.

              That's just ******.

              140,147,175 etc cannot be catch weight. It doesn't matter who the fighters are.

              EDIT: AT 154 yes, not above. And not all of those fights you mention were at 154.

                  When Henry Armstrong was fighting and there were few divisions, separated by 11-15 lbs catchweights were needed. Currently with so many dvisions separated by so few lbs they are not needed.

                    The weight limit was 147, no catch weight.
                    it was for DLH being that he hadnt fought there in so long

                      That's funny, but why leave out Pacman? The undisputed catchweight king & pfp top cherrypicker.
