    LOL, RIGHT?! Catchweight title fights don't sit well with me at all. The only thing keeping my interest here is that Canelo is a legitimate opponent despite his fans extremely overrating his skillset...

      I don't like it personally, but I don't like it anymore than Canelo rehydrating to 172 pounds, that's a 22 pound weight advantage. Which is why I think we should really start pushing for same day weigh ins. It's a damn good fight though, Canelo is still the biggest opponent Floyd would have ever faced, with or without having to shed the 2 extra pounds.

        I dont like them, the fighter in the lower division should move up to the higher division. I want to see 2 fighters at their best, and CWs are usually put in place to try and weaken the fighter in the higher division. But if 2 fighters agree to it, its whatever, i just feel it takes away from the fight

          So it seems like a lot of you go back and forth on catch weights seemingly always in favor of the fighter you are a fan of. So can we come to a consensus on this? Catch weights are either legit or they are not. There should not be people trying to justify certain ones and discount others. What say you?
          if a fight is to be made on demand or for any other reasons...so be it....

          this is nothing really new.......
