Better counter-puncher: Pacquiao or Cotto?

[brick wall]

both fighters are not really known to be counterpunchers so it doesn't matter whose better, and i think neither of them would be looking to counterpunch as a major game plan during the fight.

Cotto is the better Counterpuncher that is not even debatable!!!

+1

lol, at those saying Cotto doesn't have counter punching skills.

I agree with Pully, to be honest. Cotto has no reason not to steam through Manny. He is the bigger guy. He is the champ and Manny is the smaller challenger coming up in weight. So why should he be running and countering Pacquiao? He will look like a ***** unless he beats the **** out of Manny.

Its not a smart gameplan though, and this weight is being exaggerated a bit. Manny had no problems knocking out a 140 pounder. Manny also has some of the best sparring partners in the world for this fight. Oh no Cottos 7-5 pounds more because the fight is contracted at 145, big deal... No reason to drop your hands low and pressure like Hatton did.
