My issue is with the 20 pound difference talk, I don't like this painting of him like he's david and his opponents are goliaths of some sort. I really wish it was mandatory from the networks that every boxer steps on the scale on the day of the fight, that whole question mark next to your fight weight is ****** considering you are paying someone millions of dollars stepping on a scale for 60 seconds is not much to ask. That would dead all this talk about his size and that of the opponent. We know what his opponents weigh.

I kind of agree with that.

The bottom line is Cotto should drop the MW belt if he will not fight at 160.

But I think the difference will likely be closer to 10lbs than 20.

That 10lbs is no big deal really. I think that the official weigh-in is more important than water-weight or rehydration weight. And if a fighter really is killing himself to make weight and then re-hydrate quickly, they will likely fall short against a top fighter.

Someone will figure out they need to move him around and work the body, take the fight late.

The best fighter on the night will likely win that fight.

No idea who that will be.

I agree that catchweights are being abused, but I don't think it's a black/white issue of you either accept catchweights or you don't. Circumstances vary depending on the match-up.

Even merely stating that catchweights are being abused implies that there are some legitimate uses for them.

Fair call, but I dont think there is nowadays, not with 17 divisions.

But I stand corrected, " unjustified " would have been a better word.

And to be fair, I also used the word unnecessary.

I will stand by that, I firmly believe that cw's are completely unnecessary.

Cotto will fight Canelo at Canelo-weight..... he did not try to drag Canelo down to 154 (which is the standard weight for a supposed JMW)..... and he did not try to drag him down to 153 (which is Cotto's last weight)..... Cotto knows that Canelo will weigh 170+, and yet he is is willing to fight a younger, stronger, bigger, man at his best weight.

He will catchweight Golovkin though, beleeeeeeeee dat

GGG fans will call that cw " abuse ", despite the fact that Cotto weighs 153.

But I stand by what I said, imo Cotto should drop the belt if he is not prepared to sack up and fight Golovkin at 160.

Catchweights are completely unnecessary, Cotto could actually fight Golovkin at 160 if he was willing to sack up, like he is willing to sack up to Canelo..... but Cotto weighs 153, he is obviously a JMW..... so if you are going to tell me that catchweights can be justified between guys who fight in different divisions you need to remember that Cotto weighs 153.

My bottom line:
Abolish cw's forever, or accept the one that Cotto has in mind for Golovkin
