My only issue is the weight. Why go ahead with 145 when 147 is so close and no question marks could be added if it were so?

If Manny dominates Cotto I will be surprised, but if he gets the win I will give him a lot of credit but not quite all the credit because he is taking Cotto down an entire 1000 grammes (or something like that) below what the fight should have been made at.

I'm sure Manny doesn't care less about credibility when he is earning all this money and taking away elements of risk in the process. He is a sensible business man.
