What on earth are you talking about, "alot of close calls lately"?? He had one very close call, vs Torres, or rather 2 including Corley, but still, other then that he has looked very impressive in his other fights at 140, and I don't think making weight was a problem for Torres or any of his fights except his last.. As far as your question Im not sure, he has had a size advantage over everyone he has fought thus far, so I am definetly interested to see how he will do at welter... Personally, I think the notion that he will be way better at welter is a bit silly... He wouldn't have been fighting at 140 if he couldn't make the weight comfortably and it's never even been thought of as a problem for him until his last fight, now I do think it's time for him to move up no question. But was Oscar DLH a better welter weight than say a lightweight?? IMO, in terms of being the best, no... He was an absolute monster as a lightweight and how he was able to make the weight and replenish so much overnight amazes me, as it does with cotto. I wouldn't say he will be better moving up, I remember alot of people said that about Hatton too.
