    The only reason I have a problem with CATCH weights is that there is already enough weight classes in boxing

      Nah Manny is fine he just playing the game and being successful good luck to him , I just know how it went , its his fans with blinkers on I dont like , they have too many double standards and are really just hype junkies with little under the hood boxing knowledge .

      I never see fighters or trainers arguing with me on this stuff , its just Mannys kid fans .

        Exactly why catch weights are necessary, if you want to put on good fights.

          The only reason I have a problem with CATCH weights is that there is already enough weight classes in boxing for their to be catch weights. There is is jr & full weight division for each weight class

              If two guys want to meet at a weight and fight, fine. If I am the 160 champ and I have to put my belt on the line but cant weigh 160, that's BS. If the next title level guys are too big for you then stay where you belong.

                  Haters start hate threads about a fighter , haters attack fighters on personal levels , haters hold double standards around their hero .

                  I do none of the above , how many do you ?

Hank gave up weight in catchweight fights (like for Jenkins) but there is little evidence of him abusing bigger guys. He didn't stip for Garcia at Middleweight for instance.
                    Yes, i made a mistake, you're right.

                      Your post about karma was indicative of your hate.
