Re: Cotto's welterweight belt is on the line!!!
Alright I had to come back from the dead to chime in on this one...Heres the thing, a welterweight fight can and should be within the Welterweight limit. Manny and Cotto can both weight in at 145, fine. BUT, Manny and Cotto should be able to weigh in at 145 and 147, respectively. Both scenarios are within the limit. The greater problem is the ethical dillema: What if tommorow WBA Welterweight Champion Shane Mosley announces that he is defending his tiltle against...Clottey for instance, but states that he will only defend it if he and Clottey both weight in at 142. Is that fair and is that acceptable. The answer is, no. At least in my opinion. What if Valuev stated that he will only defend his title at 330 pounds, is that fair and should the WBA accept that?
