    That said, this kind of nonsense might make even more catchweights happen and, as a result, we may see less fighters fighting properly through the weights. Pacquiao's everlasting legacy on the sport:think? This is a stupid idea, IMO. I bet it will become a farce in a few years and we will hardly see fighters challenge in proper weight divisions.

    Thanks, Sillyman, you cockhead:twisted::patsch.

    Sillyman has certainly been doing his homework.

    Potential (or signed) future catchweight fights)....

    Floyd vs JMM
    Floyd vs Pac
    Shane vs Pac
    Williams vs ????????
    Diaz vs Paulie

    Give me two minutes could think of a dozen more

    Like I said, Beeston, the WBC know they are onto a winner here. We won't see an end to pissing catchweights now! We'll probably see less mulitple-weight champions if this catches (excuse the pun) on as well:-(.

    I think weight jumping (in some instances) is a form of cherry picking.

    just what boxing needs, more belts :patsch

    weight divisions don't even exist anymore, you can pick up belts fighting non champions and guys who ain't even in the top 5 of a division in non existant weight divisions.

    If we get a catchweight title at 170 it has to called "BHOP UNIFIED WIDE WORLD OF BHOP CHAMPIONSHIP" the belt will simply have a picture of Bernard with his stupid x mask on and landing with your head will be absolutely legal and a scoring punch and you will automatically receive a 10-8 round for every bolo punch landed maybe in every pub brawl someone will be awarded some sort of WIBOBCBNABF intercontinanal commonwealth international interim championship of the world. :roll: :tired:verysad

    If this is the logic going forward, we need to go back to 15 rounds from 168 on up to HW for world titles. Those 15 round fights separate the men from the boys and get Boxing back to where it was (kind of) in the 80's.

    They should get rid of all the belts altogether, and each winning fighter should be allowed to make their own out of the intestines of their opponent post-fight.

    This is nothing more than a very feeble attempt to pick up sanctioning fee's for fights they cannot sanction as they dont fit into one of the weight class's. Only one problem im pretty sure the fighters wotn give a ****. If elite fighters are making fights at catchweight its because there trying to also make as much money as possible. Im pretty sure none of them will want to hand over a percentage of that to the WBC for a worthless title that no one else can contest. This is by far the dumbest idea since the whole WBA Super champion bull****.
