pac is actually fighting over his limit, its just that there are no opponents with quality for him to fight at lower weights. and the big money is on the higher weights thats why pacs team is pushing every bit just to make it a more even match.
And Duran fought even higher than his body's limit going toe to toe with the great Marvin Hagler and even won a belt at that weight against Barkley. Pretty impressive for a guy that started at 118 huh? But he didn't do it at a catch weight. The only other superstar fighter that did that was Leonard against Lalonde for his light heavy weight title. Hence many real boxing fans think that Leonard was unworthy of the nickname Sugar Ray.

I say if this fight happens Pacman kos Cotto after Cotto weight drains himself at 141 pounds for the welterweight title fight. Cotto accepts the fight after he is offered an offer he can't refuse like something in the neighborhood of $8 million for the fight guaranteed with a percentage of the ppv sales.

This fight at any catchweight is a farce just like the Leonard-Lalonde fight.
