Just pay attention to both of their styles and you will see that this fight is a set up to make Manny look like the second coming of SRR in terms of ATG status.Manny has TOP skills against fighters who are left hand dominant and his last few fights prove this. I am picking Manny by KO/ TKO...i would say by round 6.
    BTW- I am not a Manny fan, but this is an observation of both fighters skills at present...

        No. Cotto will not beat Pacquiao. Cotto is left-hand dominant / converted southpaw fighting out of an orthodox stance. We have seen what Pacquiao does with left hand dominant fighters already. Oscar. Hatton. Next up is Cotto.

        Put your money on Pacquiao, quite possibly by KO.
        You have been paying attention-good call.

            I don't see why not. Cotto has as much chance as Manny beating him. So i'll say yes, but i'm leaning (hoping and praying) more towards Manny beating Cotto.

                  First of all-I'm not a "PAC fan". My point was Bob Arum and co. are setting this up for Manny to look like something more amazing than he is (that is NOT an insult to Pac either).
                  As for your theory about "packing bigger punches,etc-remember,speed kills-Miguel will NOT know what hit him, he will not see the punches, and will not be quick enough to react. Keep an open mind,look at BOTH of their styles, flaws, assets, habits, etc without that biased fan mentality.How is Cotto gonna hit Manny when Cotto needs to plant his feet to throw decent punches? Ask yourself "is Miguel a better skilled counter puncher than Juan Manuel Marquez"? Does Cotto have a better right hand? NO WAY in hell.Also ask yourself realistically, what tools does someone with Cotto's style and limitations have against someone who is very fast with both his hands and his feet...if he was getting pounded by very mobile "in your face" sort of fighters,what chance does he really have?

                    btw-you do not have to have a "harder" punch to KO someone.Kostya Tszyu (who has very good power) couldn't KO Hatton,yet Floyd did...how did he do it-not by sheer power,but speed and accuracy...
