    No. It's only two pounds above supermiddleweight, it will never be a weight class.

    Im not a fan of catch weight fights, but if it help the negotiation process then it is a must.

    As for a Junior light heavyweight division, that is a definate no no!

    How ridiculous is that?

    2 lbs makes no difference. The jump to LHW is not a difficult one. There is too much talk about weight these days.
