    Will Cotto move up to 154?

    I was wondering about this. When he gets a little older, will he and should he move up? He never was particularly fast for a ww, so would it be better if he fought at 154? He does have the power and the chin to compete there and its not like there is such a HUGE difference between the two divisions. It would be something else if he moved right up to 160.

    He said a few weeks back that he feels his frame is not big enough for 154 but if the right fight comes up he would consider moving to 154.

      Cotto will retire once he can't make 147. Cotto doesn't have enough skills to compensate for his weight and height disadvantage

        I heartily disagree. His skills are tested and proven. He is an ATG material. Like SRL he would have no problems in the LMW division.

          Cotto is too short for 154, he would get the **** kicked out of him by any of the major players. It would be like Mosley at 154, not effective at all.

              Mosley and Cotto are two different fighters. Don't forget that. And also don't forget the 154 division is rather weak at the time.

                ATG Material

                ATG don't lose to one dimensional boxing bags and take two knees, seriously

                Cotto is too small to do much at 154

                  Santo kicked Margarito back to 147
                  Winky and Forrest kicked Mosley back to 147
                  Williams would kick Cotto back to 147

                    Flawless is a Cotto hater. All he says is ****.
