    The money for Miggy is at Welter unless he goes up to 154 for a fight with Oscar.

    Cotto is a lot smaller than he looks in that ring. Trust me if you ever see him in person you will be shocked how that much power comes out of a little guy like him. He has no business fighting at 154 lbs.

    147 is the limit for Miguel, he won't be effective at 154.

    Due to the current lack of decent fighters at 154 i think Cotto could win a belt, whether he would dominate is another question.

    I would take him tomorrow to beat Forrest.

    154, but even that would be too high. He'd have to carefully select his opponent to win a belt in the future.

    I thought he looked smaller then Mosley when they fought so I wouldnt advise him going to 154 especially since hes done growing.

    147 is his weight period.
