What did Jr weigh in for this past weekend's fight?
Cotto shouldn't come in over 152-153. Even in the Mayorga fight, he looked real bottom heavy in comparison to his previous fights. Chavez Jr doesn't have speed to be worried about and he doesn't punch for volume, but to his credit he goes to the body pretty well and consistently throughout the fight more than any of his other punches.
If Chavez Jr can make 155-157, I say that's good. The fight night weigh in though could be something pretty lopsided.
Regardless what happens after this fight though, I'd REALLY like to see Cotto back at Welterweight.

i don't think chavez can make anything that isn't middleweight at this point. doesn't he have the tendency to go "fat elvis" after a fight?

I think the real issue would be a rehydration cap. Anymore than 170ish on fight night would be too much for Cotto I think.

if its a title shot...No catchweight. If Cotto wants to be a middleweight champ, then allow the title holder to come in at 160. I already see it happening..Pacquiao vs Marquez III, followed by Pacquiao vs Bradley or Cintron and then Cotto for his middleweight title ....Pacquiao going for his 9th weightclass vs Cotto at a catchweight between 152-156 for a middleweight title. SMH!!!
