Why is Cotto moving up to Light Middle?

I think the weight is an issue. He looked **** before he moved to 147 and a little fragile, now he looks fragile at 147.

He was certainly a different fighter when he moved up from 140 so this might suit him at this stage of his career, it's not unusual to shift up 3-4 weight classes by the time you are 30 odd years old.

 

Based on the 2 fighters styles I believe Miguel would of knocked him

 

More in-house fights for Arum :deal

 

154 must be one of the shittest division in the sport..!

 

foreman is a fighter who is/was overhyped but now he is seriously getting underated by most..however im a cotto fan and i hope he comes back with a ko win

 

Maybe he is having trouble with the weight. He always has had weight issues. He has to diet a lot to make 147. Maybe he wants to not have to diet as much. The bad thing is he is too small for LMW.

 

He looked fragile at the weight Pac made him come in at. Kinda like DLH did in the Pac fight.....I'm looking forward to seeing Cotto at 154

 

cause he will win a title at 154 and be a three division champ

 

:deal

Stays on HBO

 

He was probably encouraged by Top Rank to take the fight. He's damaged goods. If he wins, he's a viable fighter again. If he loses, then Foreman becomes a much more viable fighter. I see Cotto taking an "L" in this one.

 

in Gold schedule??

 

I honestly think he's doing it, in part, to regain some of the confidence that he lost during the Margarito fight and polish his legacy before he retires. He has been beaten up pretty good in his last 3 fights(Mosley, Clottey, Pacquiao) and he doesn't want to retire on that note...:think

 

i doubt he will lose. oreman is a good fighte rbut cotto is great and handles boxers quite well. we shall see on June fifth tho

 

1. In-house fights by Arum..
2. 3rd weight division belt from the light-hitter champ
3. Cotto just had hell of a fights one after another, and got squashed by Margo & Pac, this is more of a comeback fight for him...

yup he'll be back at 147, i don't see him winning against Pwill & Martinez..

 

Sounds good indeed! Back to 147 is a good move bc I wouldnt like watching him against Williams, Martinez or Angulo.
