    When a heavyweight title at a catchweight?

    I believe they can stipulate that. I could be wrong but they were talking about the same thing with Canelo. Also, fights have been held for the heavyweight championship in which both were below the LHW limit, notably Tommy Burns and Jack O'Brien.

    You must have a personal agenda. Nothing you stated here was factual.

    I just bought his book last week at Walmart for $19.79. Ward not being on ESPN commentating wasn't a issue with himself as a lot of qualified talent was let go during that process. And clearly he's not as broke as you make him out to be being that he still gets a check from Jordan Brand as they still push his line on their website.

    Interesting. I wasn't aware of that being possible. I know of a couple instances in which a heavyweight bout was conducted and one of the fighters came in at a weight of a cruiser......just didn't know it was possible compete for a title for any division at a catchweight.

    I am not a 100% sure but it does have precedent. You don't have to be a heavy to compete at heavy.

    Yea, I know you don't have to be heavyweight to compete there. I've seen situations in other divisions where a fighter was well under the limit for the division but still competed in the fight. I just thought it was different for a title bout.

    I never said he was broke even people with money always need more. I was a fan of Andre Ward when he was fighting and I bought his book on Kindle for $9 but I haven't got around to reading it yet. I have seen it listed as low as $2 online. Keep counting other men's money if it makes you happy lad.
