In order for Cotto to win by KO, it has to be before the 7th round at the latest. By the 7th round Cotto uses up all of his energy as if holds his breath while punching. Pacquiao doesn't have a solid chin and his body is quite nimble. So body shots and try to catch Pac's chin on the inside.
Otherwise he will have to stay away from Pacquiao's effective pressure after 7 rounds and have the fight venue as Madison Square Garden. To get a decision gift.
All this is easier said than done. Most people can't get to Pacquiao on the inside, and alot of people can't even connect with his chin. The "counter" puncher JMM did but Cotto isn't a counter puncher. So it will be even harder for Cotto do reach his chin. Then you add that most people dont outmatch Pac in speed and footwork. Pacquiao has the odds in his favor to win.
