A catchweight above the jmw weight, ie middleweight.

A catchweight is NOT middleweight.

A catchweight is NOT middleweight.

So what if the two fighters, MW fighters, have a catchweight at 160?

A catchweight is NOT middleweight.

The WBC has CLEARLY said what you are saying is wrong, do you think you know more than a sanctioning body, are you delusional
Catch weight – This term is used for specific agreements reached by the 2 fighters and is an exclusive commercial contract which has nothing to do with the regulations of boxing.



There are 2 scenarios in which catch weight fights have been scheduled



A-. World title fight scheduled to x division in which the fighters agree to have a limit of how much they can weight . For example a fight scheduled at welterweight which the limit is 147 lbs. and the fighters agree on weighing 144 maximum. For boxing regulation the fight is within the 147 category, so it is an official welterweight fight

This thread is intended to make Golovkin look bad. It proves NSB doesn’t have bias to Golovkin.

Many boxing fans forgot that a catchweight is to remedy the disability between two fighters. It’s interesting how many people forgot about “Caneloweight,” which was specifically used to mock Alvarez’s terms for the weight he desired. The term “Caneloweight” was used up until he fought Cotto. Angulo bout was originally below 155, but because team Alvarez couldn’t below 155, Angulo agreed, and it favored Angulo who was already draining to 154. Again, people forget that Angulo was fighting above 155 many times beforehand he fought Alvarez, so 155 benefitted Angulo. This was hen beginning of “Caneloweight.” It wasn’t catchweight because Angulo never had a distinct advantage in weight over Canelo.

Then comes Lara, in another non title fight, the Alvarez team feel the margin of error on the scales is good again if they do “155.” Again, “Caneloweight,” what the A side star demanded. Lara, taller, was already fighting various times above 155 before, it was easy for Lara to want this fight and payday.

Then comes Kirkland, a non threat, another guy for filler for an Alvarez non title fight. “Caneloweight” again, as Nelo likes this margin of error optimization. Gives Nelo confidence for the event of a 154 title bout he will most likely hit it. Kirkland, who already had way more fights above 155, feels it’s a great opportunity, however, even for Kirkland, the guy was draining hard even for 155.

Then comes Cotto, who’s the A-side, and whom easily agreed to Caneloweight, which would be perfect for Cotto with speed, movement, etc. B-side Caneloweight gets his request for 155, Cotto likes it.

Then comes Amir Khan, who for his sake, would like the idea of the Caneloweight challenge since Alvarez is limited to 155 Caneloweight anyways. Khan feels speed would win. From 147 to 155, Khan feels its perfect, and wasn’t pressured to fight at 160 as in future event s with Brook, a Brook who initially wanted a Carchweightt with Golovkin because he wasnt a Middleweight...

Then with all the hype surround K2 and industry affiliates to instigate Canelo vs GGG, Oscar prepares with Warren for the final 154 title in hopes to make a future WBO attempt with Saunders, but to do that, Oscar needs a WBO belt at 154 for the sanctioning body’s acknowledgment to 160. This isn’t he only method for GBP to be A side even against BJS, and BJS wouldn’t refuse American PPV with GBP.

In the meantime, Canelo loses about 8million in a settlement, which was mosl likely 3 million non disclosed, and with that loss replenished from the Chavez Jr. bout.

The only initial bout to suggest Canelo was finally a Middleweight was with Chavez Jr., a catchweight bout.

Since all boxers drain, nobody ever claimed Crawford to be a Welterweight when he was at 135 rehydrating to 153 on fight night.

When Chavez Jr. fought Andy Lee, Chavez Jr. was easily 180lbs on fight night. Look at the tape. Biggest Middleweight in his history. Even Chavez Sr. on ESPN said Zurdo rehydrates to 190lbs on fight night with his last fight being hard on the scales. With an era of draining, such as Hurd or Charlo runting Canelo at 154, this all of this matter?

The problem was that Golovkin claimed he could make 154-168. The irony of being able to do it, but refusing it against he biggest PPV stars. Loeffler and Abel just trying to act like they have power of GBP.

Don’t overcomplicate what a catchweight is. A catchweight is simply a solution for fighters being of different weight classes.

When Figueroa Jr. vs DeMarco happened, they fought above 147 Welter. Wasn’t that a “catch”? It was a fight as you mentioned, a contract between both fighters, because it was just a filler fight for PBC, and we all know boh fighters were never known to have fought above 147.

That's rich. That dude writes an essay about GGG and catchweights and tell you not to overcomplicate things by citing the WBC

Well you do need to learn about boxing. Are you feeling better today? You cried yesterday about amateur weights vs professional weigh ins.
