Style itself though?
Completely different.
Differences:
Pavlik likes the head, Cotto likes the body.
Pavlik is one punch KO, Cotto is accumulation.
Pavlik is conventional, Cotto is a switch hitter.
Pavlik's chin is solid, Cotto's chin is controversial.
Pavlik's best punch is the cross, Cotto's best punch is the left hook.
Pavlik is White, Cotto is *******Comment

Cotto by a mile. I think he will be relentless.Comment

Slicksters don't fare well against Cotto. Easy pick.Comment

well put.i think he needs to taste the punch[pun intended]before he starts to party.thing is, cotto has been fighting a certain kinda fighter that is similar to his next opponent quintana resembled paulie as a slick south paw, and paulie was a a feather fisted version of judah, and judah a resembled mosley in the speed style power and talent that mosely has[maybe not as good as shane but you get the point] so i see cotto taking his time going to the body early and often turns it up around the mid rounds and wins a brutal unanimous decision .Comment

Cotto will pressure Mosley into submission by the 9th or 10th round. Mosley, while winning three of the first four rounds, will actually slow down considerably after the 5th, when Cotto's eariler body punches will begin to pay off.
Mosley will come out strong and will try to bring it to the Puerto Rican bull. He'll try to impose his size and his speed on Cotto, but I think that's a mistake. Mosley is not as fast as he used to be and his reflexes aren't, either. While Shane will do enough to win rounds early, Cotto will put pressure on the 36-year old fighter and, eventually, get him to show his age.
I like the youth and relentless pressure in this fight. People compare it to Leonard-Duran I but, in actuality, both fighters were in their primes then. Nobody in their right mind would consider Mosley to be in his prime. Not counting the Collazo fight, Mosley has looked just barely average against every welterweight he's fought since his first loss to Vernon. He looked sluggish against Estrada and Jose Luis Cruz, two fighters not known for their power or their speed.
Cotto is faster and hits harder than Estrada and Cruz. I also think that Mosley might be a bit overconfident after beating an over-the-hill Vargas and a one-handed Collazo (he broke his hand early, remember?).
Nope, Mosley will use every bit of experience he has early, and he'll need it. He might catch Cotto with some good, flush shots since, as we all know, power is the last thing to go; but, I think Cotto will weather the storm (he hasn't been rocked since he began to fight at 147 and seems to have a sturdier frame and chin).

the only strategy i can think of is kill the body. it would take away mosely's speed which will be the biggest problem for cotto. if he can execute that he should be able to tire mosely later on but given moselys experience that would be hard for cotto to do. the good thing about cotto is that he applys constant pressure and throws and lands punches at decent accuracy. im just curious on how well he can do against someone as fast and with great experience like mosely. also at the same time the fact that cotto gets hit alot can be his downfall as well. mosely will capitalize on that and could cause some damage. well if cotto loses it will be against a future hall of famer which is no shame at all.Comment

Zab is faster than Mosley right now. Mosley has slowed since his days at 135 quite a bit. Cotto had no problems with Zab's speed.
Many people will say that Zab was only throwing one punch at a time or that he wasn't using his jab as he should've. There's a reason for that. Watch the fight again and you'll see that Zab was using his jab and he was throwing combinations EARLY. The reason he stopped was because, every time he engaged Cotto, Cotto engaged him back.
Miguel's punches are thundering. He has thick legs and can put his weight into his punches because of it. Cotto turns with his punches which gives him more power. That's why he might seem slower than he actually is. However, when you come in and throw two at Cotto, he hits you with at least one (although Cotto rarely throws one at a time and is usually firing a 3-4 punch combo). That one punch makes you think twice about coming in on Cotto again.
Cotto likes to punch as he's getting hit, something most other fighter's don't do. Cotto doesn't always cover up. He looks for a way to punish you right back and he usually does.
That's what happened to Zab and what's going to happen to Mosley.Comment
