    Because cutting weight puts fighters at a disadvantage.

    Because 2 pounds was the difference between winning and losing.

    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.
