Sign the Petition to get Cotto back to 147lb!

lmao @ Cotto being "fat" and "soft" I'd like to see what all these guys look like I bet they are all rock solid and in shape . cotto would look sick at 147Pro boxers are held to a different standard than the man on the street. Cotto is not soft or fat by guy on the street standards but who looks leaner with a lower percentage of body fat, Trout or Cotto? I think Cotto would be better off at 147. Look at the pictures of old Mosley at the weigh in for his last fight at 147. He fought at 154 before and he looks much leaner than Cotto in for that fight in Mexico and he performed well for his age. I am almost 70 years old so I don't have muscles like Cotto. I walk 5 fast miles every day and lift weights and punch the bags. I am 5 foot 9 inches tall and weigh 145 pounds which is much lighter than the 156 pounds I fought at as an army boxer of 22 years of age. I don't have any extra weight on me at all.

He looked good against Floyd because Floyd isn't a JMW. Mayweather isn't even big for 147. I dont think he looked good against Floyd. I think Floyd looked bad against him. Floyd was overtrained out of his mind, and looked washed up. My point was that he was BIG and strong against Floyd. He looked like a truck.

There is a lot more matches there for him at 147 and ones he can win but he hasn't made that weight in years. I think GBP is planing on making Ortiz vs Cotto at 154 in sept in NYC.

I find it funny that failed high school sport players and current mattress warehouse salesman are calling a professional boxer who has reached and maintained the highest levels of achievement "lazy." 33 and hasn't been there since 2009. He'd be another Dawson or De la Hoya and then you morons would say that he was stupid to drop in weight. He's always been an 8 round fighter who in his prime had just enough in the championship rounds, he's not in his prime, so now he's just and 8 round fighter, and going to 147 isn't going to change that.

What do u mean he can easily make the weight? For the past several years he has been saying that he CANT make the weight. People cant assume that a guy is lazy, or doesnt want to work. He said he cant make the weight, and at 54, he looked big as hell against Floyd. Dude looked like Hagler. Thick bones, wide back, big ginormous head. Dude better not go back to 47' He looked good against Floyd because Floyd isn't a JMW. Mayweather isn't even big for 147.

If He refused to rematch pacquiao at a catch-weight of 15Olb what makes you think hes thinking about droping to 147?? Makes no sence really! cotto initially demanded a 150 cw fight the second time around w/ margarito.

I agree he should move back to his best weight of 147. I think you over estimate how much influence the members of boxing scene have on multi million dollar fighters like. Cotto. Cotto is not going to do something he does not want to do. He is not going to put in the extra work to get down to 147 because of a boxing board petition. That picture you put up shows the difference between a true 154 pounder in the rock hard Trout and a fat 147 pounder in the somewhat soft Cotto. Regardless, he will stay at 154, petition or not.

Meh, he clearly can't/doesn't want to make 147 anymore. He's almost at the end anyway, let him get his paydays however he wants. It's not like he's bloated at 154.

If He refused to rematch pacquiao at a catch-weight of 15Olb what makes you think hes thinking about droping to 147?? Makes no sence really!

Don't you think he would still fight at 147 if he could without affecting him?

Am glad he isn't weight draining himself anymore at 147.

Very bad idea. He would be weight-drained at 147.. He'd get KO'd by most of the fighters you named, maybe by all of them. Look what happened to Dawson when he went back down to 168 - the same thing will happen to Cotto. Now if it was 152 - that would probably be the ideal weight division for Cotto at this stage, but of course that's not a weight division. 147 is just too low for him now.

What's he still doing at 154lb?! Cotto would benefit so much by moving down to 147lb, he'd have more power/speed. The guy can easily make 147lb and possibly do very well. (JMM/Bradley, Maidana/Lopez, Guerrero, Broner, Berto, Ortiz, possibly Khan if he moves up) There's plenty of great fights down there, wtf is he doing at 154lb against guys weighing 170+ fight night. I know he wants the payday against Canelo but damn, I know Cotto has a lot of heart but he'd get diced up by Canelo, just too big. I just don't understand it. Come on Cotto, stop being lazy and move down! Please sign the Petition! Look at him during the trout weigh-in :?!: http://i44.tinypic.com/2vcw4rm.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2kh9q9.jpg What do u mean he can easily make the weight?

Cotto was in great shape for the margarito rematch and mayweather fight he needs to ditch the high altitude and train like he did for those fights and hell be straight.

Nope. Although Cotto is better suited at 147 he dont have the drive to make the weight anymore and if he does he will do it by shortcuts and will be training just to make the weight and not trying to fight. So although 154 is not his best weight, him getting down to 147 will harm him more then just fighting at 154 Sounds like a very motivated/determined boxer. If that's the case he should probably just retire rather than take more punishment.
