The hate is real. Cotto was wrecking sh!t at 140. His prime. He won his first belt at 140. Probably defended his belt by ko every fight. Loma wouldn't last 12 rounds.
we simply dont know how Nomas does at 140, but its safe to assume he would be competitive based on his exploits at LW from which he could carry up at least some of his elite abilities such as work rate and skills.
