imagine the sellout crowd,imagine the ppv pull,imagine the FIGHT. it would be a great fight, why they haven't negotiated this is beyond me.two hometown heroes that have massive fanbases.

empty out your pm box

how about they both fight each other at Sacramento California so I could go to the fight live:D

whast the diff between coto and hatton anyway? besides ones a PRa dn ones a Brit

They both are huge 140 pounders who both can easy be middleweights


Both have Huge power

Both have Huge body attacks

Both can easly be aggressive

Both are undefeated

Both have biased as hell annoying fan bases but huge ones :)


is there really any big diff between them?

I havent really met many biased hatton feets to tell u the truth

I think Hatton is exciting as well..

This would be an amazing match up!!!... And they're both 25yrs old - 26yrs old!!!... I'm sure it would be an all time great fight.

But I don't think it'll happen... I get the feeling they're grooming Hatton and Cotto to take over the light-welterweight division after Gatti and Tszyu have gone, (And PBF has moved up to welterweight).

They gotta meet though!

These 2 should be the next big rivalry in boxing, I'd like to see them fight a trilogy, fight #1 at MEN, #2 at Clemente Coliseum, and the rubber match at a sold-out MSG (wishful thinking :) )

maybe the most even-steven matchup of big name fighters at this point

whats up with that?

What about the rubber match at arco arena

personally i think they should fight outside in vegas, could hold more people, in fact that'd be a neccessity, think of the fans that would attend. think of the PPV buys, it'd be over 3-400million dollars guaranteed. every redneck and his friend would order it since it's two light complected good fighters fighting,trust me.

imagine the betting. it's extremely tough to pick a winner out of this match up.hatton's body assault makes it extremely hard to see how cotto would react.and cotto has a vicious body attack as well.and with SO MANY people attending the fight and watching the fight and interest the fight would have, you just know there'd be an insane amount of money on both sides of the wager.im getting a semi just talking about the money in question here.

ps- pm box cleared thegreatest :o

the winner of the trilogy can fight Chico at Arco :)

MSG is the "meca" of boxing, as the HBO commentary calls it. It makes sense it'd be there.

Can't be in Vegas, if it goes to decision, the judges there are too shaky to be trusted.

Arco is in Sacramento homey, us Sac cats want some big fights to attend :)

and you're right, Vegas would be too shady for a PR vs. UK battle

the winner of the trilogy can fight Chico at Arco :)


"excellent"

It would be a good fight but Cotto hits harder, is more accurate, and counters better. He also has a much better defense IMO, but we just didn't see it against Corley for some reason because he decided that all of a sudden Corley can't hurt him with anything.

Cotto would stop Hatton in the mid-late rounds IMO with the cards being even.

It would be great, but Hatton needs to survive Tszyu first...maybe we'll have Cotto-Tszyu...

The fight has been mentioned a lot but Warren says its a fight for the future, so in other words he's not going to risk it until its a mega fight for mega money. Arum says Cotto would fight Hatton anytime & place but i dont believe that, its too big of a risk without any genuine titles to gain.

After seeing what Chop Chop did to Cotto it makes me think a higher class opponent like Hatton could KO him but Cotto is still pure class and would make it a hard fight. I'd probably say Hatton UD.

I agree with this. I don't think we'll be seeing it unless Hatton beats Tszyu or something else comes up.

I bet anything that Witter is the bigger threat at this weight now

Are you sure about that?? I know the Ndou win was good, even better than Cotto's win against him but i dont think he has the mental ability to cope with Hatton rampaging pressure style. Witter looks a bit lost when fighters put him under pressure and i think Hatton would KO him.

is there a big difference that seperates these 2 or is it only the little things that make u say o these 2 guys arent the same?

very little difference between them, their styles are nearly identical in terms of punching technique, Hatton is maybe more aggressive and Cotto is a more patient counter-puncher, but they both love the left hook to the liver

I'm a MASSIVE Hatton fan... But I reckon I've seen somthing in Cotto that makes him the best 140lbr'. I think Cotto would beat Hatton.

To be honest, I genuinely think Cotto is ready now. I think he'd beat any 140lbr out there... Including Tszyu/PBF

Not yet, Cotto's looked impressive but i think Hatton has his number at the moment. I'd like to see Cotto cope with backing up a bit better than he does normally, i think Hatton would hurt him because his defence is just hands up.

If there is ever a fight between any of the above i'll bet you, you take Cotto, i'll take any of the others. :cool:

I'll take you up on that if he doesn't...

Interesting... :D

I'm just thinking, Hatton doesn't have that concussive power that Cotto has.

Hatton is not a big puncher despite his KO record... He wears opponents down, untill they give up. At top level they won't give up, so I see Hatton going to points a lot.

Where as Cotto is a big puncher... He'll KO fighters at the top level.

I don't think he was exposed by Chop Chop, in fact... I think that fight has made him stronger, I believe he'll now realise that he's not invinsible, and will be a little more carefull coming in throwing the big shots.

I was also VERY impressed with the way that he dealt with adversity... (Yeah I know, Corley did a **** job of trying to finish him when he had him hurt).

Bizarre, considering his last performance.

good point(s). also cotto has a lil better defense than hatton. hatton seems to get hit alot so by the end of a fight his face looks like he had an allergic reaction to sum seafood. anyway it would be a real real tough fight to judge.

Fair enough, but I disagree. Becasue he was badly hurt by a light-hitting, 17lb-lighter skirt wearer(!), I think he would go into his shell against a Tszyu. Tszyu (or any other big puncher) should land at some stage, and given what we saw against Corley, Cotto hasn't got the resistance. Sometimes it's better to just go down, like Trinidad does. When you see a guy's legs go all over the place like Zab's (which Cotto's did), you are a sitting duck to get followed up on - which is why Corley's lack of follow up was so strange???
And I reckon he is open to a body assault.

That shot was a fluck it was a big unseen shot. Corley has more power than people give him credit for. Anyway Cotto would would be about a 50/50 shot against Zoo and Mayweather, everyone else he beats.

Corley has more power than people give him credit for. .

Not so sure.

I don't know...in the back of my head I kind of feel that Hatton would tear Cotto a new one. Cotto looks ok in the first round or two and realizes he simply cannot take the heat from Hatton, and gets TKO'd in 5.

I'll take you up on that if he doesn't...

OK, if any happen soon we'll bet on it.

I'm looking at who Hattons fighting though, i'm not saying there a lot better than Cotto's opponents but their chins are a lot better, Guys like Magee, Phillips, Tackie, Olivera, Stewart and that Russian guy who's name i cant spell, etc, etc, hardly any of them have ever been hurt never mind stopped.
