While Cotto's guard was perfect for blocking most of Mosley's arsenal which are hooks, it is perfect for Pacquiao's left cross to get in repeatedly. I think people forget how easily Judah landed it when he threw it with conviction, and that it hurt Cotto on a few occasions. Pacquiao throws it more, arguably as hard, and he throws punches in bunches, he is the harder person to hit between him and Cotto, much faster, much better movement, and a better offensive fighter. I think Cotto's size and technical skill make it an interesting fight, but Manny would clearly be the favorite.
