Cotto name got a few miles left on it so why not

Super welterweight again, he really needs to get his ass down to 147.

[lopez36]

its funny people keep insisting he move down,why? he knows his body better than anyone else,maybe he just can't make 147 anymore,7 pounds is a lot to come down to,it's not like 118-122,this is 7 pounds,he's short but stocky

After losing to Pacquiao, then saying "the weight" was why I lost.. I can win at 154... then he loses to Mayweather at "154" ... there's nowhere to go but down.

those losses had nothing to do with the weight,he just lost to better fighters,although I didn't like that catchweight with pac,but either way,he seems to lose when he steps up in competition,not because he's fighting at 147 or 154,if you look at his fights,he's never had a "big" win,a career defining victory

He lost to Pacquiao because of PEDs not the weight!!!

Plenty of good wins. This argument to me sounds silly. I don't subscribe to the belief that an entire career can be summed up by one fight. I think JMM was great, whether he landed that "career" defining punch or not. I mean, does Mayweather have a career defining fight? Probably not. But he's still great. His Canelo fight is probably the biggest fight of his career.

I fully expect Cotto to fight either JMM or Martinez afterwards. Hopefully that satisfies the "career" defining win

If you shout it loud enough, it might actually become true.
