On your second point, however, has Manny really proved himself at 147? Not to take anything away from his win over Oscar, but Oscar wasn't a top dog at 147 when Manny fought him. I'm not sure Manny has proved himself at 147. At 140, yes, just ask Hatton. But, not at 147, at least not yet.
He is definitely a live dog in the 147 range. He has lots of speed, movement and snap to his punches. He and Cotto will be a competitive fight IMO. Cotto will have to worry about cuts and Manny will have to worry about getting hit period!hehe
