Majesty it was WELL KNOWN that Cotto had weight problems even from his early days at 140. Go back and watch fights it's constantly commented on and yes it was a very serious thing for him. I'm sure you remember Paulie making a fuss when they moved the weigh in to noon to help him rehydrate more before the fight. Just because he weighed 2 pounds less and fought good against an amateur rival doesn't mean anything. Yeah he was juiced for that fight no doubt that doesn't mean weight wasn't a problem. Cotto had problems with the weight all along. I don't think that has much to do with his questionable tactics at times just walking guys down, ect. but it was a problem. You could see a visible difference in his comfort level when he moved to 147.
