wow. If I had the time I'd tell you how many registered professional boxers there are, how many title fights there were last year and how many 'catchweights' were dealed out, but yeah you beat me with that comprehensive list.

Also Cotto is not THE MAN at welterweight. He holds a worthless alphabet title. So even if Pac beat him at 147 it wouldn't make him the TRUE welterweight champ (there's something to beat Pac with ).
