"Pacquiao The Great"...???

But almost any strategy that doesn't involve pretending to be Goldberg or Stone Cold Steve Austin can be formulated to defeat Ricky Hatton. Hatton's fight game has more holes in it than a report from the LAPD.

True, and although i did see great improvement from Cotto I still see some of the same flaws, he doesn't clinch, he doesn't keep his guard tight, and he still can't fight going back, all flaws Pac will take advantage of.

I don't know man, I'm having a hard time seeing it. I feel the way I did before Money May fought Hatton, "get this fight on so we can all just shut the **** up". I'll have to see it with my own 2 eyes to believe that Pac can really beat a real world class welter.

But I really don't see Pacmans bothering Cotto in such a manner. Think about it, does Pacman have a good uppercut? That is the punch that gives cotto problems not straight or hooks. Combine that with his hard stiff and might I add again very quick jab. Advantage Cotto.

styles makes fight right. pac wouldnt be there to trade punches in the pocket w/ cotto so you rarely see him doing an uppercut unlike cotto who fights stationary in the pocket the whole time. he'd be all around throwing hooks and straights from different angles while turning and i dont think cotto has the footspeed to adjust. cotto would be doing the mayweather shoulder roll but he doesnt do it that good, he still get caught. his one punch power against a smaller opponent is what levels the playing field.

Agreed, let's just hope they make it happen and see who comes out on top.
