I was listening to some analysis which suggested that hatton and de la hoya struggled against pacquiao partially due to their left handedness (although there were obviously more significant problems for them). That is to say, their straight right wasn't as developed or dominant as a right handed fighter thus taking away one of the greater threats they possess, allowing pacquiao to move towards his opponents right shoulder with relative ease.
Is this accurate? does it apply to a potential match up with cotto and if so how significant a factor would it be? More specifically, how much does it affect his ability to throw effective shots with his left hand?
