    Pacquiao is going to beat him.

    Cotto from his last performance takes a lot of punches lately a lot more and seems to wilt if he can't get you out of there, Clottey isn't nearly as fast as Pacquiao and probably doesn't hit as hard either. I can see Pacquiao overwhelming Cotto down the stretch. He just has too much power and too much speed against a Miguel Cotto who seems to forget what defense was since the beginning of his career. Cotto at this stage in his career needs someone he can walk down or someone that will fade late. Pacquiao he is going to do neither to. Pacquiao only gets stronger as the fight goes on and Cotto can't afford to take the middle rounds off in an attempt to come on late because Pacquiao can come on late. Cotto's neutralizer is his power and body punching, the body punching that Marquez seemed to slow Pacquiao with. But I really can't see Cotto coping with the multiple punches thats going to be raining down on his head. He got hit way too much in his last fight, if that was Pacquiao in the ring with him he'd have been knocked out before the 8th. So if Cotto is going to win this he needs to stop going in with the mentality that he'll eventually knock him out. Regardless I'm going with Pacquiao via 8th round stoppage. You need to have a strong mind to beat someone like Pacquiao and Cotto's mentality hasn't been the same since the Margaritop fight. When Pacquiao's starting to rain in punches on him and doesn't stop then he's going to wilt again. Cotto has power no doubt, but he doesn't have the mental strength anymore like Marquez did to deal with Pacquiao. Cotto especially after the Clottey fight is probably in mental strays. He loses to Margarito then the issue with the gloves comes up builds him up a little then he wins his next fight, and then he goes in against Clottey and starts to get busted up again and until Clottey slowed down late he started looking like the Cotto who was wilting against Margarito. Pacquiao is much faster then Clottey and hits harder, he just isn't as big. But Clottey didn't exactly have to impose his will on Cotto to hit him so that isn't much of a factor.

    Pacquiao via late stoppage around the 8th round. Cotto is a good good fighter but he mentally isn't the same, and its that edge that he lacks that's gonna cost him.
