    cotto at light middle


    i think it's possible, he is a big big man coming in way over the light middle wieght limit. he has the power and abilty to fight there...do yuo think he could become one of the boxing elite and become a 3 wieght world titlist:think

    5'7 is alot to over come

    Cotto's not a "big" "big" man...., actually he's barely a decent sized WW though I think its his details that make him who he is, he can possibly grab a title at Jrmiddle though I'd prefer him to stay at WW.

    he could grab a light middle tittle cuz seriusly light middle doesnt have any good elite fighters left but cotto wont be in his best shape at that weight. after he takes all he can at 147 he should give it a try at that weight and then retire

    he's still got a hell of a lot of work to do at ww first,he's only been a ww for a short period of time and we should wait until he's had about 4-5 more fights to see how he grows.

    Dude have you seen Cotto in real life?? He is actually a lot SMALLER than he looks in that ring, its amazing how strong that ****er is. 154lbs would NOT suit him whatsoever he would lose his edge big time.

    Exactly, I met him on several occasions and its amazing how small the dude is....though he is thick and built like a small mini tank, when I saw him it was two days before a fight at light welter and he looked like the walking dead....I seriously thought he was going to pass out.

    Yeah when Cotto was 11 years old he weighed the same weight that he weighs now...147lbs lmao which is further proof that Cotto is a natural welterweight and nothing else! bahaha

    Yes, he was a pretty chunky kid. One of the reasons he took up boxing was to lose weight

    he isnt a tall guy but have you seen how heavy he is.

    he easily wieghs 160 on fight night i'm pretty sure he will go to light middle in the future.

    most light middles arnt that big most only 5'9 to 5'10. cotto has beaten guys that tall. and has beaten big (heavy) guys before so i dont know why his tricks wont work.

    at light middle the smallest fighters ive seen fight are 5'6 5'7 and the tallest 6'1 6'2

    what i find surprising is that it is practically the measurements at welter
