Cotto can get big fights at 147 and besides he is not really a 154 lb. fighter!! 147 is his best weight. he looked loose around the gut last week. After getting spanked by Margo and Pacman he went to 154 to pick up an easy belt (Foreman). He beats Foreman, Mayorga, and Margo II at 54. -both Mayorga and Margo in prime condition are 147. Love Cotto, he can pick up belts at 154 against k9 or kirkland. maybe he beats Canelo. but i would rather see him at 47 before he retires. PS. stop with the catch weight BS.... Cotto was not drained vs Pacman @145. His next fight could be... Canelo or JCC at 154 or Malignaggi II Khan Peterson Bradley Maidana Kell Brook Ortiz Berto at 147
Manny Steward said that when he was training Cotto, Miguel weighed around 150/1 a week before the fight. I don't think he is a LMW. Would like to see him fight the winner of Berto v Ortiz at 147
I would like to see him go back to 147 also, but history is not very kind to most older fighters who decide to go back down in weight. If he feels comfortable at 154lbs, than he should fight there, I just tink he might be more effective at 147.
Hes got a good thing going at 154 Floyd will most likely vacate the belt Cotto prob gets the vacancy fight maybe against a green guy like Trout who he should beat then he could unify and beat the WBO guy Bangsarov or how ever its spelled or fight K9 who is itching for a big fight he is sturdy and strong at the weight and is having his share of success
