Huh? I'm not arguing whether the rules currently allow it - of course they do. I'm proposing that they change the rules to prevent fighters from...
No, it's not. If a sanctioning body rules specify a maximum weight for a weight class, and a boxer says that another fighter is limited to a...
I'm not sure what your point is here, but it's a faulty example. Obviously you can't reasonably establish rules preventing fighters from moving up...

I think there's a big difference between negotiating things like purse and ring size and circumventing the actual established weights. It's...
Ah, but do you know who Pacquiao's mandatory is if he beats Clottey? Cotto And Cotto who would probably volunteer to step aside on the...
I advise you to re-read my post. The question is should the sanctioning organization forbid private catchweight contracts between a champion and...
