Look at poor Geale. Look at poor Dawson.

People should know boxers will do anything for a paycheck. Some of these catchweights are real dangerous so just ban them altogether.

Agreed! Or if they are, then a title fight between a guy moving up against a champion in the higher division.

No. Never acceptable in a title fight under any circumstances.

there are catchweight fights and there are catchweight fights. cotto-alvarez at 155 lbs - cool; cotto-geale at 157 lbs - not cool.

The thing is, why ****ing bother in the Cotto Alvarez case? It just pisses me off.

[joe strong]

this is why I like heavyweights. Catchweights are a joke & should be banned. Cotto defending a 160lbs title with a 157lbs catch weight? embarrassing & he's a coward. It's a disgrace to the sport. It's why I don't care about the lighter weightclasses.

Scripted or not he said he will drop down to 168 did and fight showed it was a mistake you just want it to fit your agenda because your a triple lover but was MIA in the two threads showing him and his team are imbeciles after all that defending you was doing when you thought he said ward ducked him 3times and changed weight in Olympics because of him

no fighter should be harmed on a catchweight and no title should be on the line...

[PK3434]

Catchweights should be banned, especially with how many weight classes there are today.

[Wicky]

Title fights shouldn't be sanctioned at anything other than the official weight, but you can't dictate non-title contracts. It's up to the fighters what they agree to.
