The weight limit for SWW, or JMW, as you call it, is 154 lbs. The weight limit for MW is 160 lbs.
A fighter who weighs in anywhere between those two weights is a MW.
A catchweight anywhere in between those two weights is a CW in the MW division.
Canelo weighed 155 for his last fight, and his next fight will be at a CW of 155.
155 is above the SWW/JMW limit, so Canelo is a MW.
Cotto weighed in a 157 when he won the WBC MW title from Martinez, and he will be defending the WBC MW title against Canelo at 155. So Cotto will also be fighting as a MW for that one.
Makes no difference if he actually weighs in at 153. Defending a MW title, at a CW of 155, means that he will be fighting as a MW.
Stop slinging insults and just think about it for a while. I'm sure you can get it if you try.
