    Because cutting weight puts fighters at a disadvantage.

    He was dipping his toes into the welterweight division. If Cotto felt like he was gonna be weight drained (he said he wasn't post-fight), he wouldn't have done it.

    Cotto was his first real fight at WW. Oscar would have been, but I'm guessing they couldn't really gauge themselves after the way Oscar performed. That's my 2 cents.

    But it wasn't at WW.

    Let me clarify my question here.

    What were Manny's and his camp's reasons for demanding Cotto come in so low?

    To make Cotto's training camp a living hell by making him eat one meal a day.
