    Cotto should fight Forrest's daddy at 154, Ricardo Mayorga.
    Mayorga can easily knock Cotto out at 154.

      and the other way around. It seems as if Cotto punches like a middleweight. I think Cotto would easily control that fight.

        i think of that shane fight,and a forrest right hand,i think a healthy forrest is a nightmare for anybody not named margarito from 147 to 154.stylistic nightmare for the smaller fighters.though size doesn't matter like quintana proved to the size queens.

          Mayorga is the most easily hit fighter in the game today. Cotto would walk right through him.

            no cotto would be way undersized...I think he is a true welterweight and will retire at 147.
            Hagler only fought at 160 all his life so I think cotto will be the same if he is smart.

              no way in hell he beats cotto.it took tito a couple of rounds to figure to punch the smoker in the stomach.it'll take cotto one round.he gets him outta there in 2.I'd prefer he stay at welter till he decides to hang them up.gain all the tittles,and reign for five years to break the record.and henry armstrongs 18 title defenses.

                If Cotto can punch like a middleweight, Mayorga can punch like a Super Middleweight.

                  2 fighters that dont bull**** in the ring. these are usually the fights that end up being one for the year.
                  Kirkland vs Cotto for the undisputed Jnr Middle weight crown in 2 years, both still undefeated, Kirkland peaked and Cotto the established Veteran! How ****in juicy does that sound!!?

                      No, He wouldn't be as effective but could still compete.
