    ill go with cotto... he has shown how to survive when hurt and is more versatile... manny in the other hand is exciting to watch as well, would love to see him go at it with juan diaz... but idk how manny would react if he ever gets hurt, i seen a footage when manny was drop early in his career and just gaved up...

    Manny seems like a faster version of Cotto with a bigger punch and more explosive. He also fights with more emotion which in turn brings out more emotion from fans, take for example when he got cut against Solis, its like waking up a monster. When he gets hurt he turns into a mad man punching back with no regards for his chin and usually the opponent backs out and opts to box instead.

    Everytime I have stayed up til 4 am to watch Pacquiao it has been a boring fight. Everytime I've stayed up to watch Cotto, he always sends me back to bed, having watched a brilliant fight! So Cotto, definately.

    If I had to pick one or the other I'd probably choose Cotto because he has a big punch but he has skills as well. More of a style preference rather than more exciting.

    pac is more exciting to watch because he fights all 12 rounds like the 1st round, cotto on the other hand has shown a tendency to back off in the later rounds when he is ahead on points. Also, the way they knock opponents out pac does it in a more dramatic fashion.

    Overall I go for Pac.

    But...

    Pac's excitement meter as of late is dipping... Mab rematch, and the Solis, Larios fights letdowns. Lately Cotto has been picking it up. Mosley/Cotto was quite exciting and the Judah fight was bangin.

    Cotto has been making the better fights recently. He is more exciting mainly because you have no idea if he is going to win or not.
