But if you're moving up more than one, then it should be at a catchweight otherwise you're at a huge disadvantage and its an unfair fight. I think Leonard did that before (made the fight at the SMW limit for the LHW title) when moving up from 160. I didn't see anything wrong with the Pacquiao-DLH meeting point either, since he moved up two weight classes.
    The bottom line is if you challenge a fighter for the championship it should be fought at the limit. Regardless of how many weight classes you're moving up. If the opponents too big, don't make the fight. That would be the same as Roy Jones jr asking for a catchweight against Ruiz because he moved up two divisions. The middleweight division limit is 160.Not 155,56,57. If it's a non title fight that's different. But a champion shouldn't have to defend his belt giving his opponent unfair advantages.

      Yeah I see your point. I agree. If its for a title then it should be at the weight limit.
