Comments Thread For: Cotto vs Margarito Deal Reached For 153, Says Diaz

[EAAE]

Well that's where you're wrong, and think about it, Cotto's title has a weight max of 154, but it isn't exclusively a "154 lb title" as you say, or else how come fighters all the time weigh in under the weight limit and aren't penalized.

I'm not a fan of catchweights in the least, but you're very confused if you're calling Cotto's title exclusively a 154 lb belt. That's just the weight max for Junior Middle and of course boxers can fight for a belt weighing 153 or 150 even 151.5

**but yeah I'm strongly for no catchweights in title fights as it taints the sport

Pacquaio beating Cotto @ 145 and Margarito at 150 are two relatively recent examples of CW title fights

offcoarse i agree, what i meant was that if your gonna fight for the 154 title, you should be able to weigh in at its limit of 154, if you weigh in lighter because of your own choice is one thing but it shouldnt be forced on a fighter, not for a title. catchweights for non-title fights i really dont care about, its only when they are fought for titles that i disagree with.
