Cotto, on the other hand, will show Manny nothing he has not seen before. In some respects, this has the makings of a Pacquiao-Hatton repeat

I'm picking Pac to win, but Cotto not looking great against Clottey didn't surprise me. No one looks good against Clottey.

I could see Cotto getting tko'd but he'll make it competitive for 8-9 rounds. He won't be stupid like Hatton and rush in that's for sure; I think Cotto will make him come to him and try to counter; whether he can handle the speed and angles from Pac is entirely debatable. He dealt with Judah's speed ok but Judah didn't have as many weapons and he's a quitter anyways.
