By the way who are all these true welters that Cotto has faced?

He beat Quintana who was a welter admittedly, to win a VACANT belt vacated by the previous welterweight champ Ricky Hatton.

Then he beat Oktay Urkal who spent his entire career at LIGHT welter

Then he beat Zab Judah who I think was a welter, but Floyd FOUGHT HIM ALSO

Then he fought Shane Mosely who came DOWN from 154 lbs

So Cotto by your own estimation has fought 2 welterweights.


Floyd has fought Judah and Baldomir which makes two also.

Floyd has fought 4 times at 147 lbs facing two welters, Cotto has fought 4 times at welter also, again fighting only two welters.

Furthermore his next fight is against Alphonso Gomez who has campaigned mostly at 154 recently.

Hope this helps
