    Anything below 147 and Pac wins and the excuse will be "Cotto was drained..."

    Anything above 140 and Cotto win and the excuse is "Pac's too small..."

      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

        But does Pacquiao have business at 147?

        I question if Cotto could even make 145 without trouble.

        Maybe they could meet at 144(+)(-)

        Cotto come in at 145 and Pacquiao at 143. It would still be a welterweight bout and they could fight for the titles.

        BUT......Cotto still needs to fight Joshua Clottey. Dangerous fight. Far to dangerous to assume a win.
        He was 146 for the Jennings fight he can probably lose another pound or too

          If Cotto fight at 140, he will need to look for a quick KO to win the fight, otherwise Manny will catch him.

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

                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

                    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.
