    Could be that Pac fights mostly Mexicans that come right at him(with "I KO you or you KO me" mentality) While Cotto fights anyone, this includes African Americans(who honestly have the best fighters in the world) while Pac never fights them.

      Youre a ****ing genius!

          Cotto's problem won't be in Pacquiao's hand speed in my opinion but Pacquiao's foot movement. I'm almost confident that Pacquiao and Roach won't come into this fight aiming for a KO. They are gonna be moving around giving Cotto angles and not allowing Cotto the chance to sit on his punches or to bully Pacquiao in the ropes. Cotto is gonna have to rely on his jab, which is a very good one, more than ever and pick his spots early. He is also going to have to try and get Pacquiao with early body work. This really is a fight that Cotto should win.

            And Cotto has never been K.O'ed...Can't say the same for Pacman.

              If 3 is WAY more than your right. 'However, if you saw the fights the KO's recorded against Solis and Morales neither were really KO'd they just waited on the floor for the 10 count.

                  No. Cotto doesn't struggle with fast handed boxers. He gasses after 7 rounds, yes. Does that mean he struggles against fighters like that? No.

                  Cotto struggles agaisnt effective pressure fighters. He struggles when a fighter keeps comming at him no matter what and throws punches constantly. Which is why his only loss came from a fighter that does such and Clottey pushed Cotto to a very very disputed decision.

                  Guys who like to box. Who will stand and try to box with him instead of pressure and brawl with him. He has no problem against. Hence how he beat Mosley whom you used in your example. And no, Cotto was not pushed to his limits against Mosley. Cotto was gassed and couldn't finish him, so he pulled a Mayweather.
