Why does the WBO belt make any difference one way or another in this case?? Cotto won it vacant against Michael Jennings... It's worthless. I get that in theory in a catchweight fight the belt shouldn't be on the line, because Cotto isn't allowed to weigh in at the welterweight limit, that's the issue here and it's pretty cut and dry. But as far as signifigance goes ,whether this fight is for the WBO title or not means absolutely squat, Cotto should just throw it out. If he loses to Manny I doubt still being the WBO paper champion at welterweight will be much to find solace in.
