Getting rid of the dreaded catch weight?

Genuinely astounded you can't see the glaring flaw in your logic here.

Ignore the names of the weight classes.

Weight class A - the maximum you can weigh is 140

Weight class B - the maximum you can weigh is 147

It doesn't matter which one of those you make Welterweight if you can still come in anywhere between 140 and 147 for the heavier class of the 2 - because that's the exact same circumstance as we have now.

The weight class of the fight is always their own decision anyway - even with catchweights. Nothing changes in this scenario.

 

Amazing. :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Hear you're close to inventing the wheel too, m8.

 

Maybe they should just go back to the days of only 8 weight divisions.. No catchweight fights then.

 

Except you already said they can come in under the weight limit. Which means instead of the fight being at welterweight when a guy weighing 144 fights a guy at 144, it would now be at JMW. Nothing changes.

 

Stupid, but irrelevant if they can weigh in under the limit, which you've already stated they could.

 

That there's only one pound in the weight class. Makes no difference if you can weigh below the limit. Exact same as it is now.

 

Your the one being dense.it's you changing the weight limits. if your made to come in at 140 guess what genius, that's what light welterweights have to weigh in at or if it's 141 your just adding a pound to the lww limit and calling it welterweight??
Your idea is pointless

 

Pretty much.

 

I would say more catch weights less belts... One champion...

I don't understand why guys don't get that belts, organizations, and promoters/Haymon are the problem...
If the best aren't forced to fight the best
Then it's just a game of tag..
