Ok this thread starts off with Cotto's walk around weight being about 160-165 and now we are talking about him being like 200? I know this was made with poorly hidden intentions of being an "I hate Cotto" thread.....but since I know we are getting to this point, let me say no he should not fight Wlad or any HW.
Anybody Know Cotto's Walk Around Weight?

cutting anything around 10% of your weight is fine.
for instance if a guy is fighting at 135. cutting 13 lbs. is okay.
cotto probably comes in at 160 during fight night. that's fine.Comment

This thread is ridiculous. Walk-around weight means very little in regard to the fighter's appropriate weight class. A fighter's ability to safely fight at a weight class without compromising their health/ability is the key. Cotto is not a big WW... anyone who claims this needs to place a sock in their mouths until they complete their research. During training he weighs around 152-155 lbs. which shows that WW is the appropriate weight class for him, at this point in his life.
From a physiological perspective, everyone does not maintain weight in the same manner. Some individuals require much less excersize or activity than others in order to maintain a certain weight.
If walk-around weight is a gauge that you want to use, then your theory indicates that Hatton should be fighting at LHW, the dude weighs 190 between fights.Comment
