In an interview today Miguel Cotto said that he'll be moving to Welterweight after his bout with Castillo in September. My doubt is then, will he ever fight Hatton? He'll fight Branco in March, who will he fight in between that fight and the Castillo fight in September then? Arum will not schedule a Castillo fight and then put him in a more difficult fight with Hatton before it.
So.....Will Hatton move up to 147? and dosen't Cotto has a better chance against Mayweather and Hatton at 147 where he won't have to drain himself to make weight?
Update:
Cotto said he's retiring in 4 years, he wants to spend time with his family. He said he's open to fighting Hatton and Mayweather Jr. but that after 2006 he ain't going back to 140 and what was left undone in 140(Hatton?) would be the past.

I remember that from a loooong time ago(well not that long) but earlier in his career cotto said he would retire by like age 29 or something.Of course it was just dismissed as talk.

Here is the article but in spanish:

"El año pasado fue fuerte. La división de las 140 libras se ha ido aclarando a medida que pasan los meses y éste es el año de quedarnos con la división, de acaparar para el próximo año subir a las 147 libras", continuó diciendo Cotto.
cotto has big potential matchups at both 140 lbs. and 147 lbs. i also think he can beat alot of the top guys in both divisions castillo,hatton,zab,margarito are all guys that cotto can beat.
man shut up...judah can beat cotto..neither 1 of them have a chin
Cotto has more of a chin and has way more talent than that Loser. Think about this fight analytically and not biased.
after castillo beats him..i guess he will move to 147..then get raped by judah
If you think that Judah can beat Cotto, you really don't know boxing, compare the styles and Judah's chin, and make a unbiased analysis of a fight between the two.....there is no way Judah would win. :D
Ooh yea i almost forgot about margarito....DAMN!!! margarito would kill cotto
Damn this would be a great fight, U got the Mexico vs PR thing going on. and two warriors going to battle.
Margarito will finally get to show the world what hes made of.
I see him winning by KO.
The interview was on local TV here in Puerto Rico, he said he'll fight at 140 in 2006 and then move to 147 in 2007. Fight some time at 147 and then he'll retire, I think he's said before he ain't fighting after 30.
has any fighter actually not faught past the age that they said there going to hang up there gloves? i think he will be to much in love with being one of the best to retire after 07

I dont think so. Margarito hits hard yes, but Cotto overcomes adversity pretty well. Lets also keep in mind he punches really hard and is a better technical fighter.
The fight has the potential to lean either way. Margarito could effectively use his jab, and keep Cotto at the end of his reach delivering power shots. Or he could just get blasted with a arsenal of power punches.
I think Cotto is actually a threat to knock Margarito out.
