I think it was but that's a bit beside the point, Manny will land his punches, straight lefts, right hooks, Cotto's solid defensively but he's not invisible and Manny is clearly one of the most dynamic offensive fighters around.

I don't think its anything near a farce, Manny has shown that he can carry his power, but that's my opinion, we'll see. Either way, If I was Cotto I would insist on it being at 147, if he's drained he's getting taken out. Since Roach and Manny probably won't go to 147 this whole thing is probably a moot point.
