    it's not pointless, you just don't know the specifics. lol!

    for some reason Polymath, or homo universalis, seems to think his superior intelligence surpasses the established weight divisions into more metaphysical representation of a boxers true universal mass.

    The weight division a fight takes place in the second most important factor in ANY fight, after punch resistance.

    It's within the welterweight limit. Jr welter is 140 & below. I hope you read up before claiming things you're not sure of.

    By weight division do you mean welterweight or do you mean the super light welterweight division that only exists in you mind?

    I want you guys to go and sit in an armchair.

    Relax.

    Allow thoughts of the upcoming match between 'Manny Pacquiao' and Miguel Cotto to gently wash over you.

    Now, what is the weightclass this fight is being held at?! Answer quickly. I think you'll find you know, on some level, its Junior Welterweight.

    i can not believe that your still insisting that a fight being held at a catch weight of 145lbs is junior welter weight.

    has the creatine gone to your head brother?

    we can probably call it "called welterweight but it's actually jr. welterweight, you just got confused" division.
