panda thinks cotto can fight guys upto 5'11" so 154 shouldnt be a problem due to height

Dude, it ain't about height. People need to stop acting like height is the problem, Pernell Whitaker faught as high as 154, beat JCV and dude was 5'5 1/2, be serious now. It is all about skill, don't forget, Tyson was 5'10 and faught at H.W. Another good mention, Roberto Duran.

because of his height and reach.5'7 and 67″ isn't enough to fight in 154.
it is a Dilemma of cotto..

Yea, he can as long as he's matched right. I don't think he can go in there and clean out, but he can beat some champs.

Angulo, Cintron, Martinez and others would have a tough time with Cotto.

More like, he ain't skilled enough. I don't think he can catch up to Sergio Martinez or Paul Williams. Forrest is freaking past it, Angulo, Kirkland still inexperienced, he might be able to beat those 3, not to mention Cintron.

You really don't think he can beat Martinez? I mean, I'm not saying I definitely think Cotto would win, but I would give him a great chance.

To be honest, HELL NO! He won't be able to catch up to Martinez.

That's absolutely crazy. Won't be able to catch up? What are you even talking about, his footwork?

Martinez beat Cintron, no doubt, but he was made to look pedestrian. I swear, Martinez looks great against a fringe contender, than unimpressively beats a guy everyone knew was a joke, and now he's unstoppable? I like Martinez, but to act as if Cotto has no chance against him is simply misinformed.

Why do ppl care if he can go up to 147? he hasn't said anything baout 154, nobody cares there's no money there.

Can cotto fight at 154???
