    When was the last time 2 champions from the same weightclass had a catchweight stipulation on the contract?

    Matthysse (WBC interim) and Peterson (IBF) earlier this year was fought at a catch weight of 141 pounds... It sort of applies if you use your imagination for the whole "interim" thing.

    This is true.

    However, it was the consensus that Oscar was not a real 160 champion, and that he was indeed to small to ever be effective at 160.

    I should change the title to:

    When was the last time 2 LEGIT champions from the same weightclass♦♦

    Well it's the consensus that Floyd isn't an actual JMW titlist either.

    So you just shot your agenda driven argument in the foot.

    Try to enjoy the fight and not be a sour puss.
