For Americans, a normal fight against Hatton in England is big but not huge. Cotto should fight Margarito instead of that. However, now there talking about Wembly. 90,000!!!!!!! Its obvious Floyd wont go over there. I know its a bit of a scary thing for anyone but someone needs to do it.
They would make a Floyd fight there because he's the biggest win out there but there probally isnt anyone else they could or would do that for besides Cotto and maybe Mosley. Guys like Zab, Clottey, & Margarito would do it in a heartbeat but thats too much high risk low reward for Hatton.
Cotto is the hottest name in the sport right now. A Margarito-Cotto fight is big but its definatly not huge. Arum just knows he can get money both ways. Still, Cotto could get rich if he took the Hatton fight and I know both guys would take that fight. Hatton may not have looked great at 147 but he still beat a very solid guy in Callazo and I just know that he thinks he can beat Cotto for some reason. As of right now mostly everyone would pick Cotto in that fight and he would still get a ton of credit for winning. It would be the experince of a Life Time and he would get rich off that fight. To me its also lower risk then a Margarito fight with alot more money. I know its scary to go overseas with there funny refs who allow anything and stop fights quick combined with there crooked judges but this fight wouild be so huge. It also sets up a Mayweather fight for the winner. If Cotto wins then his stock would be so high and if Hatton wins then I think Floyd would fall in love after seeing a fight with 90,000 people at it and knowing that Hatton would throw huge bucks at him to come over.
To me this fight makes so much sense and I think it could be fairly easy to make. I think Hatton would possibly consider Mosley. He's the only other guy that would sell out Wembly and they know it would be a super fight but he's also older and the people may try to take something away from hattons win while at the same time he still may be the best guy at 147 so its very dangerous. Thats why Cotto is the only logical choice and I cant believe that no one is talking about that more including those 2 fighters but if he does good against JLC then I think there may be more talk about that fight. Hatton is probally just not going to sale huge in the states. There are alot of good fighters who would go over there to fight him but there either just a step under elite or there too much high risk low reward
how would hatton fans like to see cotto do to hatton?: box hatton to a 12 rounds to "0" win or hatton on the fucking dirt taking a nap?
what's good with the gifs man?
Give me reasons why he would and how would he do it easy ?
I my self think it would be a brilliant fight.
Would be very close and and an all out war :)
hatton's defense is garbage cotto is a better boxer than hatton is hatton likes to throw a hook or to then clinch then tries to throw body shots while he is inside from the clinch .cotto seems to get upset when he's getting clinched or feels the fighter is fighting dirty he won't let it happen whenever hatton clinches miguel is gonna throw his ass around they r both considered bodypunchers but hatton seems to not be able to take body shots watch the urango fight and tszyu fight even the castillo fight . cotto has a height and reach andvantage over hatton and cotto fights better inside than hatton does
the real question is, " why won't hatton fight cotto?"
you know why, Hatton is scared of Cotto. Cotto would beat Hatton like a step child. Hatton has "ZERO" chance against Cotto. "ZERO"
Good lord.. :pat: HaHA.. That's some pretty funny shit. ^
NEWSFLASH: Cotto doesn't like pressure. :no: Clue #1..
Let's not get out of hand now.

First of all because hatton is already fighting Mayweather and if Mayweather wins, he needs to be fighting Cotto, not Cotto fighting Hatton. You said it yourself Cotto is the hottest name in the sport, and if Floyd wins over Hatton than all the Floyd fans along with Floyd will say "so what he's fighting hatton, he's fighitng my leftovers" I could alrady see that, and that will get him no closer to a fight with Flloyd. The name of this thread should be Why Wont Floyd Fight Cotto if he wins.

Interesting..
Hatton has been saying for as long as I can remember that he and Cotto would be the best matchup in the sport. Most recently he said he would love to fight him. Personally, I'm worried about De La Hoya fucking up any scenario involving either Hatton or Cotto..
Any theory based on one example is a stupid fucking theory.
Let's just see how Hatton looks at 147 on 12/8.
Absolutely. Hatton was training for a fight at 140 before he took the Collazo fight on short notice. He has been pointing for this match for months and will be in much better condition. The Collazo fight is blinding a lot of fans to the reality of what we'll see on 12/8.
I don't know why people care so much where the fight happens. If you want to go to them, that's one thing. Otherwise.. Don't worry about the business aspect of it.. unless it fucks with your money.
Cotto will fight hatton as long as thats who his team picks, he made it WIDELY known that he will face ANYONE Top Rank places in front of him and he doesn't pick opponents he leaves that to his people and they do a great job, I think right now the winner of Hatton-Mayweather has Cotto to deal with next unless it happens to be Mayweather and he then retires and gives up the belts or Hatton wins and either gives floyd a rematch, faces De La hoya or goes back down to 147 but I know 1 BIG thing for a fact and thats Miguel Cotto WILL fight ANYONE, he fought Shane and he beat him so why wouldn't he fight Hatton? bottomline he will face anyone who Top Rank puts in front of him.. 100
Who says Hatton beat Collazo >>>
Hatton did not beat collazo in that fight you better watch it again dude....
As far as Cotto fighting margarito that will be maybe his last fight I think Gayweather just took the biggest riskiest fight of his life fighting someone who is relentless and holds and pressures all the time. Hatton is a very tricky boxer and his offense is his deffense he will pressure all the time that is why Gayweather wont have time to initiate any attack Hatton will be so close to him and it he will surrender to his strength.
The only way Gayweather can win is by boxing and running whenever Hatton wants to corner him. I think this will be an interesting fight.. my personal opinion I give it to Hatton by decision. 70>30 Hatton!
Wow, you really think that about the money? I cant see a Vegas fight making more then 90,000 at Wembly and all there PPV's. I dont really keep track of what there PPV's look like so I dont know what there normal amount of buys are but I know that they care way more about boxing then the US does anymore
Its not about ticket sales in Vegas. If that was the case they would use MSG because it has more seating for Mega Fights.
The Casinos individually and as groups pay HUGE amounts of money to host boxing fights. The influx of fans on a Mega fight weekend brings in tens to hundreds of millions into the casino's.
I know a group of Missippi Casinos paid $13-$15 million dollars to host the Lewis-Tyson fight. This is aside from ticket sales. No UK venue could've matched that no matter how many seats they sold.
