    cotto by a ****ing mile.cotto is a boxer puncher who likes to put on pressure.

    not just a pressure fighter who knows nothing else but a boxer puncher who can put on pressure.he can turn it off and out box you or turn it on and run you over.

    manny is a beast, but cotto is more techincally sound then pacman by far.

    Love me some Pacman! :yep

    But seriously Cotto is light years ahead of Manny.....but this takes nothing away from Manny he's an incredible fighter with a resume that's almost unmatched by the current elites.

    You are somewhat correct.....though if Cotto was to defeat Margo then PBF he would be knocking on Manny's door.

    Not take over, but definetly will be able to beat cotto. He loses to mayweather however. Clottey is very underrated on here and just about everywhere else it seems. That is one boy you dont want to sleep on.

    Clottey's a strong man but a limited defensive fighter when he opens up he opens up completly, he does not box well going backwards and he fights in spurts way to often. Cotto would deleiver a systematic beating, similar to his fight against Mohammed.

    this is a no brainer question.

    cotto is technically gifted while pac is technically challenged, but both got successful careers.

    both are better. PAC has better opposition look at larios vs Pac he is toying the former champ but against JMM abilities he is not very effective and for cotto he dont have any opponent comparable to PAC had. so overall PAC has better boxing ability by beating much superior boxer with his limited skills "as other claim"...
