The ONLY thing that Cotto has ever lacked in is a solid chin. You didn't mention Clottey, who threw every bit as much as mosley did against Mayweather. I honestly don't remember Mosley throwing one meaningful shot after the second round. No one ever mentions Pac's fights with Morrales, Barrera, or JMM? JMM simply had no business being at Welterweight. In their respectable weight classes, pound for pound those three are better than an aged mosely, aged DLH and so on. I really don't know why you even brought DLH and Hatton into the topic. In case you forgot Floyd had a split decision win over Oscar who Pac TKO'ed. In case you forgot it took Floyd 10 rounds to knock Hatton out while it took Pac 2! Im not sure where your going with this? On top of every other bit of nonsense in this post, you think Mayweather KO's Pacquiao? In case you havn't noticed Pac doesn't get hit alot and when he does he simply throws his arms out horizontally as if to say, "is that all you got"? If an aged Mosely can tag Mayweather like he did in the second, then he's got a heck of a chance of being dropped by Manny. Honestly, everyone knows that if Pacquiao was in the ring in that second round he would have followed up that shot with about 20 more, and I can honestly say that even with Floyds unblemished record i wouldn't be suprised to see him be KO'ed. Pac has a killers instinct and theres no way he'll let Floyd recover his feet if and when he lands that big shot!
Yes Shane was outboxed by Cotto but Shane is still faster with his hands than Miguel....Miguel #1 Used a solid jab to outbox Shane (as is the blueprint) and #2 his attack is based on timing....maybe this is me reading too much into it but Pacquiao is from the Phillipines and Asian countries have music with a totally different beat and rhythm to it and maybe that is what kept Cotto from timing Manny, but whatever it was Cotto was never right in that fight.

Clottey didn't offer much to Manny either, he just shelled up.

As for the Hatton fight, that means nothing to me...it took George Foreman 2 rounds to stop Joe Frazier and Ali ALWAYS had difficulty with Smokin Joe but beating Foreman was easy for him.
