Cotto's inability to defend against the uppercut. Each fighter has made adjustments throughout their career and each has adapted to a new style after they moved up in weightclass. One thing that has stayed the same through each fight is that Cotto has always been open for the uppercut and has been hit hard with that punch. Manny has been vulnerable to counterpunching which is another weakness but has adapted to bigger hitting comp and most of his lapses took place at smaller weights. What is the biggest weakness you see?

It's definitely one of his biggest openings. Clottey was uppercutting him all night long, and doing damage with it.
But then, unless Pacquiao has somehow gone and found a killer uppercut to add to his arsenal, I wouldn't be too worried about it. Not many guys can even do it effectively enough - Clottey and Margarito just happened to be 2 who can.
