    If I remember correctly a WW named Oscar DelaHoya had no troubles taking big fights at MW.

    Nor did SRL.
    Hearns?
    Mugabi?
    Hell, even JCC, a LW would have took this fight if he was younger than 50.:patsch

    thats cool man...not everyone is up to the task....cotto is still a good fighter....its different times...i mean surely a beast like lil g wouldnt mind going up one weight class to fight a guy like andre ward right? i mean bernard went up 2 to fight the best in each division! ...its not for everyone i guess

    Canelo had a belt he just didn't have the stones to defend it like a man would. Instead he meekly handed it over to a REAL CHAMPION Gennady Golovkin, because Pollo knew he could never beat him lol Personally I wouldnt pay 50 c to watch a 175 -180 pound Pollo beat up on another 154 pound fighter
