If this fight does come off next I think I'll have to go with Ricky Hatton. Cotto is very versatile and would probably give Hatton some problems but it's my belief that Hatton is probably the strongest Jr. Welterweight in the world. I see him smothering Cotto and beating him up badly in the championship rounds to produce a late round stoppage.
I am still laughing at your destroyer of Tszyu comment:bs2: If and that is a big if the fight was to take place, I say if cause no matter what Hatton or his piece of trash promoter say I don't see them coming over here or going anywhere outside of Europe for that matter to fight anybody. But if it were to take place I think that Cotto easily outpoints Hatton, maybe even stops him late in the fight. Unless of course they were to fight in Manchester and then I'd say that Hatton would win either by the same bullshit grappling hook offense as he used against Tszyu or by controversial decision.
Quote from the post fight interview with Tszyu.
"He(Hatton) beat me in every way."
When you can get the other fighter to say he lost in EVERY way then yes, I qualify that as a destruction. Why do you feel you need to make excuses for a fighter who offered and wanted none?
Oh and if home court advantage gets your goat, did you not watch Cotto vs Chop Chop :bottle:
Hatton.
Cotto is not ready for Hatton's stamina, aggression, and power. Sure Cotto looked good against Abby a 15-1 fighter, but that does not mean he is ready for a the 39-0 destroyer of KT. Style wise, it would be a great fight though.
