Cotto is the better skilled fighter. He can fight backing up, or pressuring the guy. He can counter punch and rely on timing and speed. He can also be the pressure guy and work the body and head.
He can throw a lot of punches and get the guy out of there, or he can take his time and be patient.
Overall, just better to me. Calzaghe might have a bit better of a career thus far, but Cotto is still young.
I think Cotto is more skilled, Calzaghe is a better fighter, Calzaghe's strongest attribute is his boxing brain (ability to adapt) and heart and stamina.
