Its settled, Cotto won't go back down to 147. period

good it wouldnt be smart to .

 

The bigger point is that Cotto will get his ass whupped at 160.

 

What does Cotto weigh on fight night? He looks like a WW, I've always been a bit confused by all this, "he CAN'T make 147 anymore" talk.

 

[t doesn't matter if 2007 Mosley was better, Cotto didn't do better against Mosley than Canelo did. Cotto's fight with Mosley was very close and competitive.

Huh, are you serious...Mosley, wasn't half the fighter he was when he fought Canelo.

 

If you think that Mosley was a tough fighter when he fought Canelito, i really don't know what to tell you or say. Watch those fights and the level of competition around the Cotto and Mosley time frame and than we can talk sensible boxing.

 

Good choice for Cotto, 154 is his best weight now.
(Can't hate on him for wanting to go for a possible 4 wts either)

As PR said... One up Trinidad (on paper)

 

:bbb

 

Winning 10-11 rounds decisively is a better performance than 7 or 8 competitive rounds. It's that simple. Cotto had the more meaningful win, but Alvarez performed better. It's like with Floyd and Manny against Oscar. Floyd faced the better version of Oscar, but Manny performed better against Oscar.

 

#1 Cotto is damaged goods and past prime
#2 Canelo is a chump compared to a prime Cotto.


Look at mutual opponents for example, Cotto performed much better, Cotto beat better opposition better in his career even before he became a champ. Yes Canelo at this point would beat Cotto, but thats IRRELEVANT. Cotto vs Canelo is simply about Cotto entertaining the possibility of cashing out. If he wins, he'll try to cash in again and so forth.

 

Probably Sergio, But Vs. Quillin would do big attendance in NY.

 

I don't think draining back down to 147 would be beneficial to Cotto at this stage of his career. Just IMO. Good decision.
