Oh no call the boxing police we've got another catchweight!

Lol Bilbo. Some real thick sarcasm there. Is Marquez gonna get crucified too for asking a 143 bout against a guy who fought at middleweight? Hmm.. this is really interesting thread.

A guy that fought at Middleweight ? i think you mean Jr Middleweight, and Floyd Mayweather Jr still couldn't make the limit. Which is why he was only 150 pounds.

Floyd Mayweather Jr is a small Welterweight, much smaller than guys like Miguel Cotto. Who i wouldn't be suprised could walk around at 160 or close to it.

Which is why Miguel Cotto was weight drained at Jr Welterweight, because he was even getting stunned, by fighters like Paul Malignaggi for crying out loud. Ever since he's moved up he's looked so much more durable and stronger, that's not even comparable to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

How exactly? Since moving up he's been ktfo by Margarito, was backpeddling furiously in the later rounds against Shane Mosely and was in all kinds of trouble against Joshua Clottey.

This 'he was so much more vulnurable at 140' assumption is totally unconvincing.

It's so annoying people just claim a statement as fact and then keep repeating it as if that makes it so.

Cotto was never knocked out at 140 lbs so the idea that he was more vulnurable there is a long way from being proven.

It basically follows a single fight, the Malignaggi bout, but Paulie fought out of his skin that night and maybe Cotto wasn't 100% for reasons other than being too big at the weight. He's only 5 ft 7 and hardly built like a brick wall.
