If Cotto comes in at:
145 - Cotto has proven that he has the balls to fight Pac at a lower weight.
146-47 - Its Pac's turn to prove that he has the balls to fight a real welter.
Other issues that should not need to be discussed:
Money - this will be Cotto's biggest payday even with a $2 million fine.
(might even surpass mayweather's purse on JMM/Mayweather)
Belt - there is no rule in the WBO that they can strip the champion if he can come within the prescribed limit(147).
An additional stipulation that should be in the contract is "The fight must go on if the fighters are within the welterweight limits."
