Cotto moving up in weight class

Cotto cant go past welter. He cant go any lower or any highger. His height wont allow him to, plus he's not as athletic and gifted as pacman and pbf to do that. He'll be a welter until he retires or until boxing retires him.

 

Chin won't hold up, Power will not be as effective. I think Cotto is at his ideal weight atm.

 

147 is his weight. He already lacks size at this weight, I can't imagine at 154 or higher. The day that he can't make 147 or there're no fights at 147, it's time to hang them up.

 

3 years ago he was weighing in nearly at MW 160 pounds fightnight. I wonder how long it will be before he can't make 147 anymore.

I think eventually he will have to go to 154 and settle there.

 

I think he could easily do Lt W and possibly middleweight depending on the matchup. The light w. group is pretty terrible and I don't see the Latin Snake beating Cotto. And all of the sudden the mw is weak. I wouldn't count Cotto out as long as he doesn't have any more idiotic gameplans.

 

His height is going to hold him back. His fighting style will never allow him to be affective against guys at 154. He doesnt have the right kinda style to outbox guys bigger than him.

 

At 154 he still might be able to make some noise since it's such a weak divison. No real big punchers there either.

 

Pac started fighting pro before he actually developed as a man - rather than boy.

Demographics dictate what age guys turn pro and genetics dictate how early people fill out - people from the far east fill out much later, therefore as fighters they are able to compete in more weight classes. If Pac was British or American, he would have been considered a boy at the time he won the 112 title and would never have got the chance.

 

mhe is going to 154 in a couple of years,he cant make 147 for long,he had some problems making weight for the Margo fight.Hope the 154 division in a couple of years isnt that good

 

He'd have to deal with Mora, Forrest, DLH, Mosley and Winky at 154. If he doesnt mind losing to all 4 of those men and being the 6th best than he can go for it. At 140, he'll have trouble with Hatoon, Mailgnaggi, and Judah. He'll probably never be the "MAN" again

 

154Lbs should be his limit.
He would be too small above that weightclass, IMO

 

He'll never blow up at 154, trust me.

 

yes he will,he will not have a choice,his body in not the type to blow up but he likes too bulk up between fights

 

I don't know that much about his out of ring lifestyle - is he a bit 'Hatton-like'?
