    I can't see Tito making 147 ever again, he is fighting at 170 for the jones matchup, he grew out of his welterweight frame years ago.

      maybe because Cotto began his pro career towards the end of Trinidad's career.

        I think tito can make 147. he is fighting at 170 but that is no where near where he knows he should be. And im talking about right now. why hasnt a cotto tito fight been discussed?

          For the same reason a Tyson/Klitchko fight hasnt been discussed.

            If Cotto were to beat Tito that would probably turn most of PR against him. Probably not a good move for him. I wonder if these guys even like each other.

              Try and tell Trinidad that he can make 147. He'll either laugh at you or look at you like you are crazy. He probably walks around at 200 lbs when he isn't training. He's have to sweat hard to even make 160.

                I don't think he can go anywhere under 160. Maybe a catchweight of 157 or something but Cotto wouldn't jump up that far. At this point of their careers, Cotto can have much more meaningful fights at 147.

                  He was obviously outmatched and outsized against winky at 160 so why does it make more sense for him to fight at a heavier weight??

                  If chavez vs dlh can be made twice tito vs cotto could be made once

                    Trinidad does not walk around at 200 pounds, Trinidad is a stick with slighty thick legs. Trinidad and Cotto could probably fight at a catch weight like 156, but I doubt Cotto wants to move up
