Cotto was landing punches, I still thought he had a chance until it was clear he was overwhelmed because of that. Also, I think you could clearly see Manny was bothered by Cotto's punches which is more then you can say for De La Hoya, Diaz and Hatton. I also don't think his defense was as good in this one as it was made to look in that one. Didn't matter, Manny came to fight fire with fire and that's how he won. However, I think now that he has faced that type of clean punching, there can be no questions about Pac's chin or toughness.
