Did anyone ever see a catchweight contest involving the afore mentioned men? Both Finlay and Jones participated in catchweight contests against the heavyweights but apart from a few posters i've seen online advertising Roach .v. Jones i've no knowledge of a Finlay .v. Bridges or Roach contest or Jones .v. Bridges bout. Dave Finlay certainly faced the heavyweights in the European tournaments, all the way up to battles against Big Otto.

Thanks Ken, Would loved to have seen that Jones/Bridges clash along with the Marino/Rudge contest. Wonder if this poster was around 1980 as Bridges is wearing the original World Heavyweight belt in the picture, and below describes him as the former champion.
