Couldn't have said it better myself. The one thing real middleweight champion Lemieux left out was to say give up the middleweight title since you are making your opponents and yourself fight at the junior middleweight division limit. You can't say your defending the middleweight title while making your opponents come in under the middleweight limit.

He's right. All these catch weights are making weight classes meaningless. I've always liked Cotto and hate to see him act a little primadonna-ish like Andre Ward. And no, Cotto is not above the middleweight division, whatever idiot said that on here. It's like going to a foreign country and expecting the locals to change to accommodate you. Man up or **** off.

Manny Paquiao has been fighting at welterweight division using catch weights every time with the exception of Maywether fight and no one said nothing. He fought Cotto (145 catch weight), fought De la Hoya (145 catch weight), Fought Clottey (152 catch weight), Fought Margarito (150 catch weight), Fought Aluieri (143 catch weight). In any division theres a limit, in this case (MW) is 160. But the division really starts at 154.5 to 160.
