147 is always going to be there. but first he's going to cash in on a big payday or 2 before moving back to 147 which is his natural weight. If I'm Ali I try and make a fight with Khan, Brook. Or some other big name 147lb fighter willing to move up. He has leverage to command a good payday at 154. And if he loses that belt after that he can always move back to 147 and get back in the mix for another title shot.

He fought a dumb fight against Vargas. Cotto is bigger and better then Vargas the difference was Ali fought smart, more discipline used his speed and boxing skills. Against Vargas he was slugging it out way too much. If he fought Cotto the same way he would of been knocked out. Ali is not a big puncher even at 147. His advantage is speed and boxing skills. I think he beats vargas in a rematch. Vargas doesn't do anything great and besides the Ali fight hasn't shown great power at 147 or 140. Ali got caught never recovered it happens.
