If Cottos 147 Debut Goes Abit Like Rickys And He Decides Hes More Suited To 140..Maybe Hatton vs Cotto On The Undercard Or Am I Dreamin ??

Cotto’s been killing himself to make 140 - Rick hasn’t.

Once Cotto’s added the extra bulk, he’ll never see 140 again.

The funny thing about it is that I bet that Hatton has to lose more weight to get to 140 than Cotto had too. Hatton has a good team around him for all his needs. Cotto just had a nutrionist join his team a couple of fights ago. Maybe had he done this earlier, he could’ve stayed at 140 a little longer so we could’ve gotten to see the Cotto vs Hatton bout.

You well may be right dude, it was a lot more of a struggle for Rick before he got Kerry on board - now he’s even sipping water before stepping on the scales.

Miguel obviously has a big carry round weight too between fights it’s just he probably carries it better than Rick visually. I think i read he weighed 165 at a check weigh-in for the Quintana fight a while back and that’s when he’d already been in the gym for a bit so i would suspect he gets to as high as 180 in his off-time.

Yeah he came in at 163, but according to Cotto that is close to walk around weight. I don’t think he get higher than 170.

“I would go two weeks before a fight, not thinking about boxing. I would only think about making weight. I would have a bit of fruit, a drop of water and that’s it,” said Cotto.

“I will never fight at 140 again,” he said with a smile.

“So it will be easy for you to make 147?” I asked.

“Ha. No. It will still be hard, but a lot easier than 140,” said Cotto, who walks around anywhere between 158 and 162 pounds.
