Just wondering if anyone knows why that would be? Did Shane push negotiations for himself to be able to come in at 147? Did Pac fear Cotto at 147 but did not fear an older Mosley coming in at 147? Or was it because it was Pac's first fight against a legit WW (against Cotto) hence why he made Cotto come in a bit lighter to test the waters?
Interesting question

Oscar had not made 147 in close to ten years. That fight is a write off. Dude weighs in at 145 and gains 2 pounds by fight night. Lets be honest. He was a grape left on the door step in the mid day sun.

He had Cotto come to 145 when it was he who was challenging the man for his 147 tin. That will always bother me.

Not a weight demand to Clottey who is/was perhaps the biggest welter in the division?
