    Cotto is the only Latino brawler who looks better against cutesy-type fighters than he does vs other brawlers, which was why I didn't understand why many over at Maxboxing thought Foreman stood a chance against him.

    Spinks is the perfect style for Cotto, he beats him up and knocks him out with little difficulty.

    That's because he's not really a brawler. He's a come forward guy, but not the type that will take 2 to land 1.

    He has a patient cererbral approach even when attacking.

    Spinks will bust him up and possibly knock him out unless Cotto will go to his shell

    Yup. I'd consider Cotto a counter puncher, personally. He looks for openings, looks to pattern his opponent, time them etc. He doesn't go forcing openings like a lead puncher.
