if I were Cotto I would move to 147. If he can make that weight he wouldn't be dealing with bigger guys in every fight. He didn't seem to move up out of necessity as his last fight there was 145 pound weigh in versus Pac.

IF he doesn't move down, a Canelo fight does make sense. It is Mexico vs Puerto Rico. It is a PPV. Cotto could tell Canelo to come to NY and fight in the Garden. It would be a very big night. And it would be a tough fight for either guy. Cotto would be dealing with a young up and comer who is naturally a little bigger. Canelo wouldn't be fighting a B or C level fighter.

I sure as hell would tell Arum to fuck off if I am Cotto. Arum wants Cotto vs Chavez Jr in MSG!!!! Cotto-small looking guy at 154 is supposed to move up and face a guy who is ballooning up to 180 pounds when he is actually in the ring. Makes no sense. Fighting a guy who will outweigh you by an easy 12-15 pounds when you get in the ring. And If Cotto were to beat the much bigger guy he won't get alot of credit, because then everyone will say Chavez Jr. was completely exposed and had been a fraud.

So if I'm Cotto I move back down to 147 to avoid bigger guys and if I stay at 154 I go for the Canelo clash as it is the biggest fight there.
