You forget to include in your analysis that this version of Cotto is not the same version who beat guys who would smash Pacquiao up into bits.
Don't forget De La Hoya. The younger and bigger Oscar... ok, not the drained as **** Oscar, beat guys who would destroy Pacquiao. He beat Trinidad, Whitaker (close gift), Vargas, etc. The point is THAT version of Oscar wasn't fighting Pacquiao.
Cotto has looked like garbage since his loss to Margarito, which is the ONLY reason why Pacquiao is fighting him in the first place. The same with Hatton looking like garbage after he was ruined by Mayweather.
You can't base your predictions on fights this way, because Oscar was getting smashed up by Forbes when he drained down to make 150, which was insane since Oscar was blocking a lot of Floyd's punches at 154 and didn't bruise at all. This is why Roach knew it was the "right time" to fight Oscar. Would Pac beat a healthy version of Oscar at 147. Hell no!
Would Pacquiao beat the version of Cotto who smashed Judah? Hell no!
I have no idea who will win on Nov 14, simply because I don't know if Cotto is even a decent fighter anymore.
Another hater in here. I know you wouldn't give Manny any credit if ever he beats Miguel..
Are you going to say that Cotto is already damaged if ever it was Floyd facing Miguel? I really doubt.. I think you will say that Cotto is in his prime..
