    True, but the guy wrote today , in which I wrote in the last 3 years he has faced weak opposition which is true. If today we had only 2 Champs like the pre 80's Manny would not be Champ. He would be retired because at his age Crawford or Spence would knock him out. Today the name World Champ has been watered down due to 4 Champs in a Division

        Absolute truth but Manny still has the best resume among active fighters today.

            then why did catchweights allowed if ifs not in the rule? tell them to remove it if you feel like its not counted. it is there to make the fight happen especially to those warriors who wants to face the best even if its beyond their divisions.

              stop being so emotional. Nothing would have prevented Pac from fighting someone at the actual weight limit like it used to be done. Weight divisions are weight LIMITS. So if you're fighting at welterweight you can weigh anywhere from 140.1lbs to 147.0lbs

                So much talk about catch weights, are you all forgetting that if the bigger fighter didn't want to fight the smaller one or if they thought they couldn't win they wouldn't have agreed to the catch weight? Pac or the ginger can't make another boxer do anything.. They agreed to it.. Just like khan and brook agreed to fight at middle weight, they thought they could win..

                  Funny how if you don't like the guy you'll either say weight drained or weight bully...

                  Brook would of had a WAYYYYYYY better chance at beating GGG if it was like Khan/Canelo weight.

                  And I actually LIKE the IBF weight clause not allowing someone to bloom up 20-25 lbs same day. IT's DANGEROUS as well.

                  You're the only one I know who was upset about a guy coming up TWO weight classes and having a Saturday morning secondary weight check, with neither fighter can go above 185 pounds.

                  Light heavyweight 168–175 lbs (76.20 - 79.37 kg)
                  Cruiserweight 175–200 lbs (79.37 - 90.71 kg

                  CW fighting a MW. If you need more than 185 to fight a MW your fkn sad...

                  So was Kov needing to be a weight bully or weight drained??
                  A lot of the pac fights were for belts. How do you think he has so many division titles?

                    This is absolutely true. But in these cases the A side holds the leverage, if the b side has no opportunity to make the same kind if money in his division I think he would rather get scrutinized for beating a smaller man then not really get criticized for losing while being weight drained
