I will give Manny credit if he beats Cotto at 145. First, Cotto can make 145 without being seriously drained. Second, at 145, Cotto will be fast and still STRONGER than Manny. Three, I believe Cotto will inflict Manny's worst beating as a boxer. Many people are forgetting that only physical, pressure, strong fighters give Cotto trouble. Speedy fighters with some pop or less power get brutally destroyed. Manny may have some pop at that weight and definitely speed, but he will not out physical/pressure Cotto. Just listen to Freddie Roach's comments. When Manny fought de la Hoya and Hatton, he had no doubt Manny would win. He publicly spelled out the blueprint to beat de la Hoya and he predicted a brutal KO of Hatton. If you read Roach's comments concerning a probable Cotto fight, they are more respectful and cautious. Roach has said that it will be a tough fight for Manny and he has also said that he believes Manny will win, but what trainer ever says his fighter will lose? At first, Roach was campaigning hard for the fight to be at 142. He later said 145 was OK, but maybe he realized that he was sounding too concerned publicly for Manny's health. Late round TKO by Cotto in my opinion.
