Miguel Cotto to return to 154 for last fight

Old age has finally caught up with Marquez and it clearly showed in his loss to Bradley. Cotto lost to the excellent Canelo but he fought very well and seems to still be in his late prime when trained by Roach. Cotto's perfect fighting weight might be 149-150 pounds while Marquez is probably at his best at about 135. Cotto has huge advantages in size, strength, punching power and age. Marquez couldn't beat Bradley so I give him almost no chance to beat Cotto if they fight.

JMM gets battered.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with Marquez/Cotto either.
Of course, there is the size difference, but for both men this will be their last 'big' fight, they will both retire within a year after this fight. They both got literally nothing to lose at this point.
Besides, a win over Cotto/Marquez would look good on either guy's resume, regardless of the fact that they're both really past prime.
PR vs Mexico, two fighters with fan friendly styles, an interesting stylistic match up.
I say **** it, make it happen.

If Cotto goes down to 149 he will get KOed.
Never seen an old fighter to my memory that has gone down and done well
