The both have signature big wins. Hatton beat an aging tszyu and cotto an even older mosley. both beat quick fighters in malignaggi and judah. hatton also has castillo and cotto got quintana.
cotto didnt look dominating against a bigger clottey, neither did hatton against a bigger collazo.
both have a string of wins against B level fighters though cotto may have an edge for the simple reason hatton fought mainly in the UK and his opponents weren't well known than cotto's (cant fault him for that).
cotto took a knee in one of his biggest fights against tony while hatton got ktfo by the former p4p fighter floyd.
hatton got ktfo by pacquiao, but cotto hasn't fought him yet.
i give cotto an edge in resume and skills, but i dont think he trumps hatton too much to call him overrated.
He could thank the PBF hype machine for this. PBF hyped Ricky to justify his penchant for cherrypicking. Now Ricky believes that he belongs in there with PBF, Manny and JMM, the top three fighters today. I heard he wants to go 0-3 by fighting JMM. Enough already.
A lot of people I know thinks Cotto is overrated. I try to tell him that he is a good fighter. They tell me that he fights A level comp way different than he does everyone else. I said he beat Mosley and they tell me that Shane had an off night. Same people tell me that if that's a prime Cotto against Shane and Shane is competing well. Imagine what a prime Shane would do to Cotto.

see what i mean jack, i knew where you're going even before u do it lol.
casa was great, but world class at 37? got the biggest robbery gift in history against santacruz, remember that fight? i like casa and i hate to nitpick his resume but for you i'd do it.
your style is to cherrypick which to praise and bash just to inflate your fave fighter's resume. you dont know sh1t about boxing moron.
Jack loves spanish speaking boxers only. He's not only a moron but a full pledge racist. What a loser...
How is Hatton overrated?? Who is rating him so highly?? Most people on here think he's some kind of bum. How is that overrating him?
Yet another thread turns to a sh*t on Ricky thread.
you meant 'cotto finished judah' right. but i get what ur sayin.
lol....you got me. Didn't even noticed that. Been laughing at all the David Ortiz/manny drama.
Casamayor is world class even at 37.
Hatton was never even close to world class.
The fact that you even make a thread comparing Cotto to Hatton shows me you know nothing about boxing outside of Packy.

Prime Tszyu whoops Hatton. A Prime Mosley whoops Cotto.
As for the question hell yeah he has the right to. Hatton is very overrated. He was scared to fight Witter who was #2 in his class. Cotto has fought Mosley, Clottey, Margo, and an undefeated Quintana. I'm also probably the only man in America who thinks the Hatton vs Castillo fight was fixed.
Are you Don King??? :wave:

At least Hatton finished Malignaggi
That fight was stopped by Paulie's corner when he could've continued. Cotto broke Malignaggi's cheekbone and they allowed that shit to go on.
Hatton was both overhyped and overrated.
Even in defeat, Cotto won't look as bad as Ricky did against PBF or Pacquiao.
Its not an opinion look at the photos of Paulie after each fight.
Did you forget how Paulie shoved McGirt for stopping the fight too quickly??
You're only defending Hatton to inflate Packy.
Lame.
and you're going to say an aging casamayor was in his prime for beating a very much overrated katsidis just to inflate jmm. works both ways.
What exactly did Hatton do better? Cotto dropped him, broke his cheekbones and made his face swell up like a balloon and did all this while being weight drained
You people need to spend less time on boxrec and more time actually watching these fights
What's even more telling is what Malignaggi himself said about Cotto as compared to hatton.
Thats your opinion...But the fact is ....Hatton did what Cotto didnt.
