    Should Cotto move down to WW

    I mean,there are a lot of winnable fights for him at 147lb..While I really don't see him beating the top JMW if I can be honest..


    At WW you have Bradley Marquez Pac Mayweather Guerrero Alexander Thurman Ortiz Lopez Maidana Brook...I mean every last one of those fights are winnable imo(if Cotto can still make the weight)and sound exciting tbh..

    What are some thoughts on this,and what is Cotto's plans..I seen a thread about him going to 160lb,which will(certainly)be the end of his career imo..

      If he can he should, really the only guy for him to fight at 154 is Canelo and that fight will probably be waiting for him. 147 is soft though so Cotto could certainly make some noise there.

          Cotto can't get below 150 healthy probably. He can fight Canelo/Trout or Molina/Smith next.

              sure he can, he's the reincarnation of butterbean at 154. if he wasn't so lazy he would do it.

                  Can he make it comfortably?

                  He passed up millions of dollars for a Pacquiao rematch because he didn't want to go below 150.

                          154 just isn't a good weight for him. He looks a little fleshy, so maybe he could still get down to 147. I think he's lost a good deal of speed too at 154. I would love for him to come back to WW.

                              Well, yeah if can actually still make the weight comfortably. He's tiny at Jr Middleweight.

                                  Well that sure is one way to put it. I'd prefer to call a spade a spade though. Pacman (at the time the so called best boxer), seemed to want Cotto. Just not anywhere near a healthy weight for Cotto.

                                  But on topic, no Cotto should not go back to welterweight. He's fighting less and less. It's a lot harder to drop weight, while fighting less and getting older.

                                      He's too small for 154. It's plain to see.
