I think prime hatton can beat cotto
hatton is pretty good to using clinch and sometimes cotto showed terrible movement when his opponent was trying to clinch.
yeah I thought hatton never beat cotto but my mind is changed
IMO hatton win by UD
Prime Hatton gets knocked out quick....
prime hatton took those right hands from tsyzu that would have had cotto doing the chicken dance
140-hatton
147-cotto
i didnt think id have to repeat myself seriously
I hate to discredit all his wins cause I think it's a douche thing to do but...It is what it is.
while i dont really want to get into it as its been done to death, I'm going to anyway, im bored!
i agree philips was super past it, not a great win, but a good one concidering the level ricky was fighting at at the time.
Kostya was a GREAT win. He demolished the next best fighter in the division in 3 rds 6 months before he fought ricky. Past prime, but only just.
Urango gave Berto one hell of a fight at 147. He is better than people give him credit for
Maussu - lol i agree, but he was a champ.
Castillo - couldnt agree more on what u said. the KO was impressive though.
I'm not trying to say Ricky is/was a great. but was was a damn good fighter and the only person he should have fought and didnt was Witter, and he fought Castillo instead. Smart move, more money and US exposure, and an easier fight. The level of competition might not have been great, but its the best there was available (bar Witter). in this day in age theres not many fighters out there who continually fight the best competition. Love or hate Ricky, u have to respect that.
Nobody say anything bad about Hatton...He's the greatest...He beat an old Zoo and JLC ...O yea and Paulie...He's a HoF'er for sure.
World champions past/present/future beaten (only 4 major alphabet organisations included, not WBU/IBO)
Pauli Mal
Castillo
Urango
collazo
maussa
tsyzu
philips
lost to 2 p4p#1s
not bad i'd say

The Hatton that got KTFO against Hatton that was prime Hatton. Just because he got KTFO doesn't mean he's shot just that he was never that good. Cotto would probably murder Hatton since Cotto likes to take his time Hatton would probably last 5 brutal one sided rounds, Cotto would beat him senseless.
Some massive displays of retardedness in this thread, mainly from people who have a picture of their idol Cotto in their sig :lol1:

PS: How many times was Hatton knocked down in the 43 fights previous to Mayweather? :luvbed: A glass chinned bum would have been down plenty wouldn't he?
Prime Hatton at 140 would win a UD or late TKO against Cotto, at 147 the fight would be baised Cotto's way as Hatton was never comfortable there. (in these times of fighters trying to get others weight drained or staying in their comfort zone, why does Hatton never get any props for fighting Mayweather @ww when he knew it wasn't his best weight?)
Maybe some people shouldn't comment on a fighters career when they've only seen his last 4 fights?
Give him a sustained beating over 8 rounds of boxing...leaving him a bloody mes with a couple face fractures a broken nose and leaving the right side of his face unrecognizable to loved ones.
pacquiao left him unconcious for ten minutes. he was almost half dead.
Haha are you serious?? Cotto ruins a prime Hatton worse than FMJ and Pacquiao
thats how i know you are biased. how do you ruin hatton worse than how pac did?
i chose cotto but i feel people are judging hatton through his pac fight. i remembered posters were saying he would beat cotto before that fight. one thing cotto doesn't have is extreme speed, so this would end up being a brawl and hatton would make a fight of it. different styles makes fights and i think this would be competitive.
Cotto would have owned poor chiny Hatton and knocked him the puck out. How Hatton ever got as far as he did with that glass jaw is beyond me.
wrong PRIME Hatton had a good chin but his punch resistance deteriorated maybe bacuse of his habits out the the ring, maybe it was his lack of defence and that hes taken to many punches over time...but yeah prime hatton had a good chin your dumb if you think otherwise
as for Prime hatton v.s cotto
at 140 hatton U.D cotto was green and struggling to make weight
at 147 cotto K.O mid to late rnds
I think prime hatton can beat cotto

are you kidding? hatton has already been in his prime and lost, the real question your asking is, super power hatton not prime hatton
At 140 it would be a close fight, anbody can KO anybody.
At 147 it isnt close, Cotto KTFO Hatton between the 5th and the 8th.
nope, 140 cotto is deadman.
Hatton really didn't show his chinniness up until he fought luis collazo and i think luis is a lighterp uncher than kostya Tszyu and maybe a little heavier than floyd.
im going to have to disagree...
prime for prime cotto stops him late (10th round or later) after working the body consistantly all night before focusing upstairs.
hatton's body is very durable.he can take cotto's bodypunch
I think prime hatton can beat cotto
