Cotto's weight in the ring

[Njord777]

I've never seen Cotto approach anything much more than junior middleweight. I think the reason he's seen as a smaller welterweight occasionally by some is because of his career at 140. That, and a few times Miguel has given us the impression of having a less-than-sterling chin; if people don't feel he can take a welterweight punch, and he's a guy that moved up, many feel he's truly built for 140. Look at Klitschko, though. Can't get much more chinny than him and he's most certainly in the right weight class, so I feel any reputation of Cotto being small is misleading. Also, any doubts of Miguel's ability to take some punishment at welterweight should have been dispelled during his brawl with Margarito. Sure, he got stopped, but the guy took a hell of a lot of shots and handled them decently before that.

The new spin, I guess, that Cotto is a large welterweight; I'm not buying that. He doesn't have amazing power, and while I feel he might be able to capture a strap at 154, I don't see him having the same arsenal or competitive ability at a higher weight. I think he's right about where he belongs.

[Abstraction]

The most Cotto has ever weighed was about 158, which is normal for boxers.

Why the *** r people always trying to down play Miguel's success?

The ***in kid has worked extremely hard for everything that he has and earned it.

I wish some hating mother***ers can earn the right to create threads instead of being allowed to post up bull**** conspiracy's like this one.

It's a serious question though.

Cotto fans do it to Mayweather fans all the time.

I dont follow either of the two, but it works both ways.

Curious why Mayweather and Pac get criticized by Cotto fans for not facing Cotto, when Cotto does the same thing.
