1. He'd still go on the kangaroo diet, but he wouldn't come in as low as he did against Pacquiao.
2. Cotto doesn't move as fast, but Oscar had no real steam or snap on his shots. I don't care how good defensively Forbes is, if he is pushing you back at 150, you have nothing in your shots.
3. True
4. Nah, it was always set as a welterweight fight and his return to the 147 pound division. That's where he would've fought Mayweather in a rematch.
De La Hoya would've been able to do more since he wouldn't try to consistently train himself down to 145 to try and fool people into thinking he's the same size as Manny and he wouldn't have rehydrated to only 147, but he still would've gotten his ass handed to him.
It would've been pretty embarrassing too because I can see Cotto dropping him with a body shot.
