Like Ears said, Cotto fights in the "not a middleweight" division, wich has variable weight limits between 155 and 159. So I guess it's Lemieux, and had been Murray if he hadn't stepped up to 168
This post doesn't make any sense. Middleweight is anything from 154.1 pounds to 160 pounds. Cotton has fought his last 2 fights in the MW division, knocking out 2 former MW champs with ease. :yep
I have no Problem with Cotto coming in at 154.1 cause like you said ist in the 160 MW Limit.. but it's a pure joke to make your Opponent come in lower then 160, this is a b!tch behavour. If you are the champ of a weight class you should have the bals to fight within the full Limit and do not make catch weight fights and drain your opponents. That is the reason why Cotto is a B!TCH I am the 160 Champ but don't allow my opponents to fight at 160
DLH was the WBO MW champ when he fought a 40 year old Hopkins at a 156 pound catchweight. That didn't stop Hopkins from knocking the midget out. Seems like you're upset that Cotton is the best MW in the planet. When has the quitter Martinez ever weigh in the full 160 pound limit? When has Canelo ever weighed more than 155 pounds.. :yep
I don't care if they weigh in 159 or 140 but if there is a contract which allows a max. weight of 157 it shouldn't be allowed to be a titlefight for a MW belt
The contract was stated for 159 pounds and that's what Martinez made.. Not sure what point you're trying to make here, lmfao. Nobody HAS to weigh in the full 160 MW limit for a MW title fight. You seem new to boxing, but it's okay.
Yes you are right but i you are not allowed to make max. 160 it shouldn't be a fight for the belt @160
Quillin or Lee. I actually think Cotto loses to nearly everyone on that list with the exception of Eubank and possibly Jacobs
