    zab ain't elite at WW... he's a gatekeeper
    I said, "Depending on the opponents they beat". To be elite you have to beat an elite, size doesn't play a role in that. If that were the case, both Mayweather and Zab couldn't be elite WWs.

      If Pac wins, he is Legit ...but he better get out of the division because Cotto is a small welterweight.
      Pac will not be able to handle the bigger welterweights.
      I mean Pac and Roach just about admitted it by making the fight at 145.....but unless they change the whole welterweight game (like they damn near did) Pac will have to handle some big guys and I personally dont think he has that in him.

          Yep but only elite and not the top welter. But we all know the media will say he's the top welter.

            He'd have to beat Shane to be the top WW.

              Because he knows Marquez is quite possibly way out of his depth above 140. He was being pushed around at 135 by Juan Diaz, so how is he gonna look fighting Floyd close to Welter?

              Cherry pickin' beyatch.

              Cotto is not a small Welter. He comes into the ring as a middleweight.

                  i think it would be safe to say he can jump up to 147 if he wins. im doubting he will. unless ofcourse Roach advises him to, and Arum makes him a deal he can't refuse.

                    It would establish him as an elite WW. And should he beat Cotto he should fight at the 147 limit staying away from any catch weight BS

                      We can't say weight drained, Cotto weighed in at 146 against Clottey, 145 shouldn't a be problem. Ofcourse it isn't gonna help him.
