First of all catchweights suck but to be able to win titles at heavier weights without fighting at them is B/S... This opens up all possibilities...

Still wondering this myself

no way cotto would of come in at anything less than 147 if this was at welterweight limit? They said this was a 145 catchweight, both made the weight then it was described as a welterweight title fight.

Cotto got told this is a fight in the 147pound division yet you must not go any higher than 145
