    Cotto should be at welterweight imo.

      This talk about fighting Canelo is ridiculous to me.

      Canelo will be a MW soon at this pace.

      Cotto needs to fight the winner of Berto-Ortiz or Bradley.

      FYI Ortiz weighed 1 or 2 pounds more then Cotto when he fought Floyd.

      147lb is where it's at for Cotto imo,even tho I would pick him to beat Alvarez...But 147lb is where he belongs and should have been this whole time imo..Not to mention there's a butt load of fights there for him..

        Fighting guys like Canelo, Kirkland, Angulo, Lara could be a different story,

        Ortiz, Berto or Bradley are better options IMO.
        I like Cotto at 154 because of the fights at 154 like Canelo,Kirkland,Angulo, I don't want to see him in there with Berto,Bradley maybe Ortiz if he beats Berto but I would pay PPV money to see him in there with the guys at 154 not 147 right now Cotto trying to get paid lots of cash and the money is at 154.

          But him being at 154lb put's him at a great disadvantage imo,he really does not belong there..Do you know how much bigger Kirkland and Angulo would be compared to him??

            He was 159 pounds on fight night in his second welterweight fight. If he rehydrating around this area in all his fights, I think 154 is probably good for him.

              I mean he's a champion 154 he seems to fight good at that weight and yes those guys are bigger I do think those are fights that he can win he's a smart boxer the only way I see him going down in weight is a fight with Mayweather at 147 but even Money fought ODLH at 154.

                I think he should be fighting at 147. Height and reach wise, he's very small for 154, and I think he may have lost some power moving up in weight.
