Cotto looked normal against Clottey, his handspeed was the same, I think his defense looked a bit poor, but that must be partly to do with his cut which I think changed the fihgt because almost everytime he came forward he really dominated Clottey, that being said, I think people weren't expecting Clottey to have the better handspeed, but he does, Clottey has really good handspeed, he just doesn't get the same leverage on his punches that COtto does.
I've said this since seeing Pacquiao against Oscar, I think he picks COtto apart, not because Cotto isn't a great fighter, but because you have to find somebody to punish them, and if Hatton can't close the gap effectively against Manny then Cotto won't be able to, and if anyone can land on Cotto it will be Manny for a variety of reasons
1) Manny's speed
2) The left hand lands on Cotto
3) Manny's offensive ability, who honestly is a better offensive fighter in boxing right now?
