he looks better at 147 for sure, but i think he's okay at 154. i would like to see him face the berto/ortiz II winner as well, but facing someone like alvarez is good for him too. he's a bigger name and brings more $$$ to the table when negotiating and even though he's a big 154 lber, he's inexperienced. even then, i think cotto can hold his own against guys at the top of the 154 division. the winner of berto/ortiz II can also try moving up for one fight if they become serious potential opponents for cotto though, it's a possibility.
What weight class should Cotto be fighting at?

last time he was asked he said he had no problems making 147, If I remember correctly he also said he will go where the big fights are even if that means going up to 160.
I think he is at his best at 147, but has an advantage if he can make pacman fight him at 154.Comment

where he should be fighting at considering his height?
140.
but he really should try to make 147 if he can.
he's too small at 154.Comment

I like him fighting at 154 I don't care if he looks smaller then the guys that he fighting all that means is that he's faster then they are. Pac fought guys that were bigger than him all the time and I feel like Cotto is doing the same at 154 I mean the guy is undefeated at that weight and now he's got that new trainer he will only get better I felt like he would run out of gas in fights at 147 back then maybe he was struggling to make weight I think he feels good making weight at 154 now because of his age.Comment

Like others said, right in between both would be perfect, but that's not an option. I'd say fight at 154 and weigh in at 152-153. He isn't as big as the JMW he's been fighting, but I haven't seen anyone come close to physcially over powering him.Comment

Because he's fought Foreman Margo and Mayorga.
Fighting guys like Canelo, Kirkland, Angulo, Lara could be a different story,
Ortiz, Berto or Bradley are better options IMO.Comment

He went to 154 to get another belt in another weight class. His fights w yuri and margs doesn't mean he's better there. I believe he's best fit at 147Comment
