I don't think many would respect that welterweight win since it was at a catchweight of 145, but he's definitely a legit welterweight champ now, whether you like his opponents or not.

You must be blind not to see that Cotto was a legit contender at welterweight, especially with only one loss and beating Mosley. Plus, he was in Top Rank, so his chances to fight Manny was higher.I didnt say he needed to stay at 130 unless it was for the JMM fight but and I don't blame Manny for the DLH fight its Oscars fault trying to fight at a weight he didn't compete in for over 10 years
what I'm saying is Manny was cherry picking and fighting the weakest title holders for a one and done.
case in point Mosley was the Man at welterweight but Manny fought Cotto instead and asked for a handicap..Comment

Mosley was the number one WW and was looking like the MAN at that division and at that point Cotto was on a down slide and was looking suspect Clottey fought him to a draw. on top of that Manny asked for a catchweight against a damaged guy.
so yes it was a cherry pick fightComment

So if Manny doesn't fight the #1 welterweight, everyone else is a cherry pick?Mosley was the number one WW and was looking like the MAN at that division and at that point Cotto was on a down slide and was looking suspect Clottey fought him to a draw. on top of that Manny asked for a catchweight against a damaged guy.
so yes it was a cherry pick fight
