The one pound should make no difference. If Cotto wants to make history by winning the middleweight title then he should fight at the real middleweight limit it has been for at least 100 years and that is 160 pounds. The same goes for Mayweather winning the Jr. middleweight title at a 152 pound limit and Oscar trying to win Hopkins' middleweight title at a limit of 158 pounds. To me if you make the champion come in below the standard weight limit for his title and you win the fight you still did not win the title.
Cotto/Martinez at 159 CW?
