          yet his only loss is to a guy with slow motion handspeed.

              Cotto's only loss was against an opponent with an iron chin and more "power" behind his punches, they could have been loaded. He has never lost to a faster fighter or a stronger one who doesn't feel any pain. Sure, he's been rocked, stunned and knockdown yet in each one of those fights he "struggled" in he's come back and won. Both against the faster fighter and the smaller fighter, both of which Manny is. Also, Manny's never had his chin or body tested against anyone above 135, until he beats a legitimate WW I'll always be skeptical about his chin at this weight.

              Also the only "fast" fighter to ever really hurt/stun Cotto was Judah. Torres was all power, Mosley and Paulie didn't really phase him at all. Of course Paulie couldn't break his own hand if he threw it at a brick wall but still. Manny can give Cotto a lot of problems if he keeps coming in and throwing punches as Margartio did, but Paq I don't think will be able to do that because he certainly doesn't have the chin that Marg does. Cotto has shown he can handle speed, but Paq brings a lot of head movement and angles that the other people he has faced haven't. I still give Cotto the edge because Manny gets into exchanges and he won't win if he gets into one with Cotto.

                Cotto does have issues early on and usually breaks them down. These fighters are not Pacquiao...
                Judah would **** his ass up, he could tune up on judah and get a name but no way he would face that style. he won't even fight Mosely at 140 for **** sake. When Floyd fans say "Oh Floyd would beat him" we get the coulda shoulda woulda, yet Floyd has never been out boxxed or KO'd on body shots. But Pacman who has can coulda woulda shoulda win fights against all these guys while never facing a black fighter or to be politically correct "a fighter with a slick style". Can't have it both ways can't say Floyd didn't prove and give Pacman credit for proving it when he didn't fight them either.

                judah would have a good chance simply because his upper cut and the fact that he is fast and manny is off balance alot. i 100% think judah would KO him. That won't happen being that Judah is in a horrible spot right now and isn't a factor and that sits well with pacman being that it gives him a good reason not to face that style yet again.

                  Pac has 1 more KO win in his last ten fights than Cotto. Do some research before making dumb comments that can be disproven easily.

                      What you are saying is because Judah is black he would be Cotto....You are the biggest dumbass on this entire site...No the entire internet.
