I think Cotto is a savvy enough boxer to give Pacquiao problems, sure he's lacking in handspeed but he's good at timing his opponents, I think he will beat Manny, because the "best outcome" (really depends on who you are cheering for in this case) RARELY happens in boxing...I think Floyd Mayweather Jr. is ONLY looking at fighting Pacquiao and if Cotto was to win he wouldn't take that fight.
This is true. I think they're both at the elite level it's pretty much 50/50. I like both fighters so I won't be devastated if either wins. I'm am rooting for Cotto though because, like you mentioned, I want to see if Mayweather would accept a fight with him.

I heard somewhere that Cotto was making this his last fight win or lose. If it's true I'd like to see him go out on a win.
