    I agree with you totally and pac is one helluva good fighter. But i just think his last two wins although impressive kind of led him to believe he can take on anyone. odlh was dead at the weight and didnt throw a meaningful punch, and ricky hatton just charged in and got ktfo. Cotto will be very strong at the weight, and will think and box when he has to, plus his chin is way way better than hattons, so proberly wont be hurt by manny.
    the only type that give manny problems is smaller boxers who like to counter punch. cotto is head & shoulder better than hatton in every department so i understand that this is really the test of higher weights for manny. it was suppose to be oscar & hatton that test manny at higher weights but they fail so bad that manny has to keep proving himself which really is what greatness is all about.

      I do think Cotto will win but it won't be an easy fight by any means. Cotto has a bad habit of leaping in and eating counter left hands all night, Pac is a southpaw and that's his power hand so he will land clean and hard. Ultimately I think Cotto's chin will keep him in the fight, and he will use his size to back Pac up which is when Pac is at his weakest, eventually Cotto will take a hard UD. It won't prove anything though, this fight is win/win for Pacquiao.

        Pac's combination of his speed, power, and unique style along with composure and ring pedigree are of a caliber Cotto has never fought. Judah isn't a bad comparison talent and style wise but he isn't even close to as battle proven as Pac is.

          Speed of punch and speed of movement. Wont be able to deal with the two because he has never encountered the two before to the level Pac performs.
          Yes SSM was similar in that he was a fast puncher and mover. But Pac is above anywhere SSM has been.

            Pac's athleticism and great stamina. He hasn't faced such a great all around fighter like Pac. He got stamina with Marg, speed with Mosley and Judah, and was really hurt against Torres. Pac has all three and probably does them better. Cotto is in for the fight of his life in November.

                    Although Cotto is great at neutralizing his opponents speed, Pac is on a whole different level. Dude is like a damn machine dude. Sometimes I doubt the fact that he's human.
                    No disrespect man but I don't think there will be any "Brutal KO's" in this match.
                    Maybe a KD here and there but nothing near brutal.

                    Not trying to downplay your guy Cotto though 'cause since he's the bigger and more powerful guy. If a KO does happen I belive it will be by Cotto. His power and excellent timing is something that Pac will either have to adjust to or get away from otherwise risk losing the fight.

                      power wise yes, mosley has way more power than pac but cotto hasnt faced power, speed, deceptive defense, big fight experience, will power, & difficult to figure out style coming out of a southpaw stance.
