        I think Cotto should be fine at 145.

          Then why fight at a catchweight to begin with?

            For those who say it doesn't make a difference,

            then why not ditch the catchweight and fight at the actual welterweight limit?


            Its only 2 pounds so it shouldn't be a big deal right?

            Something tells me that argument only seems to work in Pacs favor.

                I agree with those that say Pac should have just given in to 147, but its not even 2lbs its 1lb less than Cottos last fight it wont matter at all.

                      I personally feel that it isnt going to hurt Cotto. Hes still going to put on 10-15 lbs easy on fight night. Pac is gonna come in about 147-149 as he has been for the last few fights.
