Nope. Although Cotto is better suited at 147 he dont have the drive to make the weight anymore and if he does he will do it by shortcuts and will be training just to make the weight and not trying to fight.

So although 154 is not his best weight, him getting down to 147 will harm him more then just fighting at 154

Sounds like a very motivated/determined boxer. If that's the case he should probably just retire rather than take more punishment.

Cotto was in great shape for the margarito rematch and mayweather fight he needs to ditch the high altitude and train like he did for those fights and hell be straight.

What's he still doing at 154lb?! Cotto would benefit so much by moving down to 147lb, he'd have more power/speed. The guy can easily make 147lb and possibly do very well. (JMM/Bradley, Maidana/Lopez, Guerrero, Broner, Berto, Ortiz, possibly Khan if he moves up)

There's plenty of great fights down there, wtf is he doing at 154lb against guys weighing 170+ fight night. I know he wants the payday against Canelo but damn, I know Cotto has a lot of heart but he'd get diced up by Canelo, just too big.

I just don't understand it. Come on Cotto, stop being lazy and move down! Please sign the Petition!

Look at him during the trout weigh-in

What do u mean he can easily make the weight? For the past several years he has been saying that he CANT make the weight. People cant assume that a guy is lazy, or doesnt want to work. He said he cant make the weight, and at 54, he looked big as hell against Floyd. Dude looked like Hagler. Thick bones, wide back, big ginormous head. Dude better not go back to 47'

Very bad idea. He would be weight-drained at 147.. He'd get KO'd by most of the fighters you named, maybe by all of them. Look what happened to Dawson when he went back down to 168 - the same thing will happen to Cotto.

Now if it was 152 - that would probably be the ideal weight division for Cotto at this stage, but of course that's not a weight division. 147 is just too low for him now.

Cotto gets his ass whooped at 147 and stans will change it around and say he should of stayed at 154. Funny how not too long ago they salivated over Cotto going up to 160 AT A CATCH WEIGHT & that Cotto was perfect at 154.

Am glad he isn't weight draining himself anymore at 147.

Don't you think he would still fight at 147 if he could without affecting him?

If He refused to rematch pacquiao at a catch-weight of 15Olb what makes you think hes thinking about droping to 147?? Makes no sence really!

**bojangles1987** · 05-23-2013, 05:27 AM

Meh, he clearly can't/doesn't want to make 147 anymore. He's almost at the end anyway, let him get his paydays however he wants. It's not like he's bloated at 154.
