Actually 141-145 is within the welterweight limit. It's 141-147 but guys usually come in at 147 most of the time and then rehydrate.
Within yes, but not AT the welterweight limit. For a guy like Cotto, getting down to 145 may actually make a big difference. The point is Welterweight is not 141-145 it's 141-147.
