" Ali’s first fight as a full-fledged 154-pounder."- meaning Ali, a career welterweight had to MOVE UP for the opportunity.
And why do champs SELECT fighters below their weight class to defend against? To ensure victory.
This one backfired. Big time!

Still love and respect Cotto. He had a career only few can dream off.
From here on, nothing is going to be easy for Saddam. Both the WW and Junior Middle Wt. are stacked with outstanding fighters in their youth except maybe Lara.

Best advice to him would be to get a money fight in his first defense before starting to roll the dice with the big boys!!!
