Pacquaio will win the title!
Cotto alone was the one who suggested the 145 catch weight and not Pacquiao. Cotto has never weighted 147 in any of his fights with Clottey, Mosley, or Quintana. He has always weighted 146 pounds, so the 1 pound cut will do 0% unconstructive upshot to his boxing ability. Cotto weighter 147 once in his career at welterweight against Margarito and once at 145 vs Zab Judah. This is Cotto’s advantage, indeed.
Cotto is the most underrated boxer today and he has always been one of my favorites. To me and also in many people's perceptions, he is the real welterweight champ. He has fought rigid competition and fought the best in that weight class. He is a better welterweight than Mosley, Berto, or Mayweather. I frankly deviate with the Ring Magazine P4P rankings where they have Donnaire above Cotto.
Pacquaio's principal weapon is his speed. Speed kills and speed equals power. He throws high velocity of punches that not even the naked eye or natural human impulse or spontaneous reflex can sense. David Diaz and Oscar De La Hoya both suggested that Pacquiao is so fast; they felt Freddie Roach was there too.
Pacquiao throws high dimensions of punches coming from different angles that flings his opponents in deplorable modes and places them in motionless conditions which they find it impossible to counter.
Cotto has the strength advantage but I think his notorious body shots will be insufficient to find Pacquiao as Pacquaio has one of the best lateral footwork movements in today's era.
But momentum is perhaps Pacquiao’s most vital advantage. He has been upsetting and defying the odds and has not succumb to all the negative denigration but instead displaying such stunning execution of his opponents.

Manny Pacquiao via TKO (through cuts). Manny would be forward on the taking part in cards besides. velocity would be the 1st substantial ingredient. Hand velocity will enable Manny Pacquiao to hit Cotto at a cost of 5 hits to a million. Manny and Roach would be smart and not stand in front of Cotto and verify out to commerce. Manny's foot velocity will enable him to flow away till now Cotto ever hits him. Cotto is a immediately forward fighter and his loss of velocity will enable him to get hit normally. all the hits will accumilate and bring about early redness and later cuts (like interior the Margarito and Clottey fights) that gets so undesirable the combat will could desire to be stopped. Cotto basically has 2 reward (length and capacity) and combat and the seize weigh diminishes the two a style of. If the combat is going to the taking part in cards Manny nevertheless wins a unanimous determination, regardless of if it won't. Manny via TKO around 11.

cotto
he knows manny can only win by stiking and moving and being counter aggresive to an extent..Cotto is stronger, and this is boxing these guys eat, live, and sleep boxing, and will do boxing, they love and only do boxing when no at home with family..so this is a good fight, however sense these guys dont have 1 hit k.o. power like 99% of people its hard to say..with all of this said i still feel Cotto will win, cotto, hits harder, has a inside game, only 1 loss, and has beat bigger guys of course it was in his welterweight divison. on top of that He knows manny can only win by throwing the jab, Cotto will jab and cut off pacquiao's movements and by doing this he will also allow himself to land hard body shots and left hooks at times..he will also evantualyl start to get inside of pacquiao and pacquiao dosent fight inside, and sense manny cant fight well inside he wont do well..Than again he can always cover up with his gloves, but this will only last for so long..yes the gloves are 12oz, yes cotto cant get a 1 punch k.o. but
this will wear down pacquiao
