With the current "in-between" weights (130, 154, etc.) used as the only allowable catchweights.
A boxer must fight all matches at a legit weight class, and can only use a catchweight if he is fighting a boxer from the weight class above or below.
In addition, titles can never be on the line in a catchweight fight. Ever.
No one fighter is above the system, regardless of their fame or profitability.
Period.
Just an idea I had a while back, but I think this would solve a lot of problems in boxing. Less champions, and no weight issues to hash out during negotiations.
Would you approve of this type of weight class system?
