It's a pretty even fight to me. If I knew how Pacquiao could do against a legit prime Welterweight, I'd pick him to beat Cotto ten times out of ten. He's a way better fighter than Cotto is. I just don't know if Manny has the strength to back Cotto up. Cotto does his best work when he is in attack mode.

Several casual fans of mine were all gung ho about Pacquiao totally annihilating Cotto. A few of them still are, but after a couple weeks somehow some of their minds changed. My brother in law calls me with, "I actually watched some Cotto fights for the 1st time, why is Pacquiao fighting this guy for?"
I'm dead serious lol.

I'm 50/50 and neutral.Like both fighters.If I had to pick a winner tho probably Pacquiao but can't forget Cotto's supposed to walk around 170 plus and his last opponent Clottey 180 so size and strength could be a big factor but think Pacs speed and skill will win him it.

But yea man, a lot of people were riding hard (pause) for Pacquiao because of how he KO'd Hatton. But anyone who sits there and let's himself be hit are gonna fall the same way. Cotto doesn't have the best defense, but he also isn't the type of dude Pac's going to voluntarily throw bombs at while standing right in front of him. Don't get it twisted, Pac is fast, but he can't and won't outbox Cotto for 12 rounds because that aint his style. Pac fights. Let's see how well he takes the punches from Cotto because they'll indeed be landing.
