Hulk, if this fight happened at 140, Floyd would have torn an inexperienced and weight drained Cotto a new hole. The best time this fight to happen for Cotto would have been at 147 after Floyd fought ODLH. At 154 he still will have a weight advantage so its a better fight than if it were at 140.
I'm pleased for both fighters. Cotto has earned his shot and pleased for Floyd once again sticking it to Team Pac and continues proving that he will take legit challenges without trying to disadvantage his opponent.
Roll on May 5th
I disagree as a young hungry undefeated Cotto beats a shopworn aging Cotto.
However I do agree that 147 probably would have been the absolute best time for these two to fight.
