    you can't ban catchweights

    they've always been a part of boxing. go back through it if you don't believe me.


    you've got issues with the 30 hour weigh in window, - which allows fightesr to make unrealistic weights at the time of the weigh in, - and higher billed fighters demanding that larger fighters shed weight dangerously to accommodate them.

      Don't think boxing needs any replays of the Castillo-Corrales III weigh-in.

              I hope Geale drops Cotto to a bended knee.

                  Apparently Cotto chose Geale as his opponent because Geale was the only one willing to accept all of Cotto's terms. Says a lot about Cotto that everyone else refused him. If not for Geale, he would still be looking for an opponent.

                    Actually it would be a simple thing for the sanctioning bodies to ban catchweight clauses from title fights.

                      This is like giving a starving man a piece of hard bread. No **** he's gonna take the damn bread. Had Cotto's people not chosen Geale, it would've been years before Geale got another title shot after the GGG loss.

                      Why can't people understand this?
                      He made the choice, I'm incapable of giving a damn. Maybe if he was a damn good middle I'd somewhat care but he isn't so......
