Cotto didn't seem to have that same edge. He gutted it out, but there were a lot of the flaws we saw against Margarito. The cut clearly affected him quite badly though.

His punches would have a bigger effect on guys like Floyd and Manny IMO. I know I predicted a Cotto stoppage win, but that was more my wish rather than anything meaningful. Clottey is one of those hard headed types that just doesn't hurt easily. Against smaller WW's like Pac etc Cotto's punches would have to make an impact.

It's a tough fight to judge where Cotto is at. I think Cotto has a decent shot against Pac and less of one against Floyd. But I'm not convinced by any means.
