Yes. He's probably at least 3 inches short for the division, not to mention arm length.Comment

No not really. He used to gain 20 pounds overnight when he was fighting at 140.Comment

Cotto is one of my favorite fighters but he's doing that I'm too small to face certain fighters schtick like Mayweather and Rigo. Although is a small middleweight he has an incredible speed advantage over most of them.Comment

He is a small middleweight surely, but he's filled in now as a JMW. Looked pretty good on the scale for Geale and was just shy of 154lbs. 5' 7'' is fine at 147 (though there are surely taller WWs), is on the short side at 154 and is quite short for 160. His 67'' reach doesn't help. He might arguably have the fastest hands and/or feet at MW, or at least I can't think of another MW fighter who is faster (including Canelo).
Even in the ring against Geale, Cotto didn't look like he was much more than 160lbs. But then, maybe the fact that Geale was in the territory of 180 made him look small.Last edited by BrometheusBob.; 09-03-2015, 04:31 PM.Comment

I still think if Cotto stayed at 147 he would have still been able to make the weight. He just hasn't had to make it in so long.Comment

He really isn't that small, I would wager he weights from 165 to 168. There have been smaller middleweights. He isn't that much smaller than GGG but compared to the bigger middleweights like Quillin, Lee and Jacobs he is pretty small.Comment
