    Although two of those fights, the heavier guy failed to make weight so that doesn't really count IMO. There were a couple fights there I didn't realise were catchweights.

    Bopp Vs Bermudez II is a perfect catch weight bout.

    Would you recognize Canelo's if he wins over Lara?

    so if thats the case according to floyds logic then canelo should be undefeated since he fought him at a catchweight

    It also means his win over Marquez doesn't count.

    cotto came in 146 in his last fight before facing pacman and he has also fought at 140

    if he has never fought below 147 then i could see your point but that was not the case

    As long as both parties agree it isn't an issue.

    Stupid thread.

    Both fighters agree, and they know tons more than you.

    Catch weight is a reasonable and acceptable compromise to make a fight.

    Suppose a plodder like Vlad came don to Cruiser at 195, and got beat up, you'd say he was wight drained.
