This fight between Cotto/Pac could possibly play out like Floyd/Marquez
when it was a case of too big and good for the smaller good fighter.
I have to give Pacquiao credit for having so many people believing that
Cotto is light work for him.

I don't really know but I think Pac is going to be countering and slipping and working the body more than anyone has ever seen him do before. There is no way in Haiti that Cotto's sparring mates could emulate the speed that Pac has. I think it will be a competitive fight though regardless, Cotto is a tough, tough guy.
Another thing I've been noticing watching Cotto highlights: he loves the left hook to the body we all know this but when he throws it, he exposes his body to a left from Pac because of the way he digs into it- it looks kind of like a semi body uppercut. I think with Pac's speed, he could beat Cotto to the punch all night with a quick left to the body himself as Cotto winds up for left and then as Cotto reacts, pulling down with the right to cover up from another left body punch, Pac could slip to the left and come down from above with a strong straight left to the face- setting up a 4 punch combo to the face afterwards.
Just a thought.
Pac has to spar with bigger guys because Cotto comes in nearly at 160 in the ring apparently.
Cotto's guys don't have the speed as Pac, which you are right. He is a smart fighter and I feel can adjust to Pac, but he may lose a UD if he doesn't get damage done early on. He does not have the stamina to hold up VS Pac for the whole 12, thats for sure.
