    It will probably end up at 152, cotto's team is basically trying to force margarito in that position since he doesnt have much negotiation power. It means he is isnt 100% confident in beating him at 154

    Yup.

    I'm with Margo on this one. Cotto's a champion at 154 with a successful title defense with no catchweight so this is inexcusable.

    It's a joke! You have a LMW title. Defend it there! Big Cotto fan but come on, you fought Yuri Foreman and Mayorga at LMW why not Margarito?

    yep.. the catchweights need to stop.

    This really does show that he's concerned about what Margarito brings to the table, plaster or not.

    Nah, I think he's just worried Margarito is the much bigger man, since Cotto himself isn't that big of a Jr. Middleweight. I'd MUCH prefer there were no catch-weight, but it has a small slice of legitimacy. Regardless, he will have the right game-plan with Steward and tweak what they need to in order to get the victory.

    It only gives Margarito a psychological advantage over Cotto, knowing that his opponent fears him, and it shows Cotto isn't confident to fight the lanky, tough, rugged, man of steel named Margarito.

    Plaster or no Plaster, Cotto is already showing fear.

    Actually, I thought Margarito looked great against Daniel Santos at 154, even though he was robbed in a hometown decision with a hometown ref.
