    He hasn't touched WW since the Pac fight. He outgrew 154.

      The way I see it, he has nothing else to prove at WW. Nor can he make the weight comfortably. at this point in his career he's pursing his legacy.

          The only opponents for him at 154 are WWs moving up, he's too small for everyone else. I wouldn't say it's beyond the realms of possibility that he has one last great victory against a strong 147 guy who hasn't grown into the JMW division. Maybe it's worth hanging around in the hope of that happening.

            If he was not so lazy,I think he could get down to 147lb.It's a shame,because I really feel he could do somethings right now at the weight.

                miguel cotto could absolutely fight at 147 right now. he giggles his way into the ring at 154. he's well documented as being a fighter who trains very little today. he's not undisciplined, but his priorities aren't where the used to be.

                  Definitely.

                  His power and timing (speed) was much more effective at WW.

                  I believe he can still make 147lbs if he really wanted to. It's the desire that I question about him now.

                  There's a few fights at '47 that are interesting.

                  Bradley
                  Berto
                  Pacquiao II
                  JMM
                  Ortiz
                  Guerrero
                  etc.

                    He should have never left 147. He's clearly too small for 154

                    He's just lazy and doesnt wanna put the work in, which shows by his last fight

                      I voted he should return to 147. All that weight drained stuff was an excuse for his lose to Pacquiao years after the fight. He is only 5ft 6inches and when he fought at 147 he looked like a fighter in shape is suppose to look.At 154 he looks about 7 pounds too heavy. He looks a bit soft and flabby. He is not a bigger man than Mayweather and he is probably smaller than Mayweather and Mayweather is at his best at 147. Cotto does not like to work to take off those last few pounds and he loves to eat. He could retire because he is very well off and his best days are gone. He will not retire and he is talking about fighting at 160.
