cotto can barely make the weight and he couldn't KO Malignaggi at 140 pounds back when he was a bit smaller and could make the weight a bit more.
Manny is just too high up there at 140 pounds for anyone to catch up.
Cottos only chance is at 147 pounds because Cotto will just be too weak at 140.
I see Cotto getting hit all day if he were to move to 140.
In all fairness, I dont believe we will see Cotto drop to 140lbs ever again. That potential fight may be made at either 143-145, or if Pac wants to go for gusto, 147
wow I can not believe the things people are saying here that pac-man would destroy cotto what going on people ? suppose to know boxing here, thaT word does not go with cotto, simple cotto is a trememdous worldclasses fighter and if people think that pac-man is going to steam role over cotto does not know a dam thing about boxing frist cotto has shown a tremedous chin going aginst a cheating magarito for 11 rd and he was being hit with bricks, and was taking all those shots from margarito. it will be the fight of pac-man life he will be in a war and that is that!! I goooo for cotto all the way at a catch weight, cotto conters pac-man hard and with speed!! cotto is no slow ask mosley, ask margarito, cotto all day
if anything cotto will be faster at 140 and would perhapes carry some good power as well!! but pac-man is the Pd king and he is the one that should move up to fight cotto. cotto all day!!

Have you seen Cotto at 140 compared to 147? Cotto is much more comfortable, stronger, and has become an all around better fighter. He's said numerous times he had issues making 140lbs. Draining yourself that much takes away your power, speed, legs, etc. Smart move for Cotto to move up to Weltwerweight
He was 146 for the Jennings fight he can probably lose another pound or too
That's how it happens.
You think Oh I made 147 I can make 146. Oh I made 146 I can make 145. Oh I made 145 I can make 144....
Then your weight drained and get destroyed.
145 might not be too bad though Cotto could probably fo to 145. Cotto didn't look very good at the Jenning weigh in either, but he lost a lot of weight in that training camp.
