Cotto has only foughten good southpaws though, and He looked great against Quintana, but he didn't look great against Judah in many parts of that fight, and its not just a slight speed edge for Manny, he is way faster, especially in his footspeed which Quintana didn't have and Judah didn't use.

That is why Oscar and Hatton had nobody to land on. Also timing works against speed when the guy with doesn't have superior timing, when that is the case it only works against the other fighter. Manny is great at getting in quickly, landing one punch, and getting out.

I do agree that Cotto is far too great of a fighter to be written off, but his chances IMO can't be higher than 30%, but I could definitely see him ko'ing Manny if he is able to cut off the ring, which I don't think he will be able to do.
