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.
who is the catchweight king?

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.
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.Last edited by oc9979; 08-24-2011, 09:32 AM.Comment

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.Last edited by Bring It On; 08-24-2011, 09:36 AM.Comment

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.Comment
