Since when did Cotto step into the ring at 154ish? He didn't do that when he was fighting at 140. He definitely steps in at 160+ these days. As for their fights with Margarito, Clottey didn't really stand his ground, and his resolve didn't last as long as Cotto's, I just think he had better durability, that has only a small correlation with size. Cotto was more powerful than Mosley when they fought, but look at both their fights against Margarito.

Being the bigger man means you could be the bigger puncher as well as taking shots better. The reason we have weightclasses.
