People need to give credit to Cotto for facing Clottey. NO ONE looks good against Clottey. Floyd would like shit also and Paquiao as well. To base what Cotto did against Clottey as future insight into what Cotto will do against Paquaio is bullshit. Paquiao also faced a washed up, defenseless fighter who squares up with no head movement and just comes forward in Hatton. Both Fighters have the main public fooled. Cotto vs Pacquiao will be a true battle but my prediction is Cotto by KO or UD. He is a big SOLID man compared to Paq. And the speed issue is not going to be as important as some say. Cotto handed Judah well and Judah has lightning in his punches. Both can win this fight but **** what Nacho says Cotto is a smart boxer who can hit. Paquiao's track record with boxers who hit is not good as he arguably lost to Marquez 20 pounds lightner than this soon to be signed fight with Cotto. Remember no one looks good against Clottey.

Buffer ****ed up by saying that these two were cemented HOF fighters Hatton has been exposed since the Collazo fight and he has not only come up short in the biggest fights but had his ass waxedddddddddddd in booth. That is not the mark of a HOF

Then I guess Vasquez quit also in his first fight with Marquez? There is no shame in taking a knee when you can't breath and keep your hands up. Thats called being alert and smart. All you internet warriors who have never been in the ring but are sssssssssoooooooooo quick to rag on Cotto need to take it deep. Cotto Marg was an example of whats great in Boxing.

If he fights Manny and wins like he should given the huge weight difference, does he deserve to be back in the 10 P4P list for dethroning the P4P king? I say no b/c its a bullshit win but at the least let him maybe crack the bottom at number 10 or 9.

With his most financially successful year behind him and his popularity and marketability at its highest, He is in a NEGOTIATION battle with Oscar. You don't change your moniker to Money May and then 4 months later turn down the most lucrative fight and least dangerous fight(ala Cotto, MArg)of your career. Oscar is reknown for being a shrewd business man and this is bluff by PBf for 2 causes: 1) to stir water cooler talk and to reiterate to Golden Boy Promotions that his popularity is at its highest. (when was the last time they ran a Breaking News banner on a boxers retirement that was oscar or a HW. 2)to indirectly give Oscar a fuck you. Oscar want s to fight the best before he retires and also make so loot, PBF is sadly that guy in boxing (makes me sick to even type that). PBF is not afraid of Cotto but is def well aware hat he poses the mot danger to him and his so shoe shined overrated undefeated record. * By next week a contract will be all but signed...........

Is there anybody on this site from the UK that will actually admit that Hatton is the produt of overhyped media. He is only 29 and yet he fights like a 40 yr old. He draining himself for 140 but is to pussy i mean little to handle the real ww at 147. His claim fame was a wrestling match victory over Kosta who hadnt fought in 2 1/2 yrs.

read a good quote from Dougie fisher at Maxboxing " Speaking of Hatton, I wholeheartedly agree with you. He’s a slightly more active 140-pound version of John Ruiz the article goes on saying how the referees in the UK let Hatton secretly digest viagra pills before each match and let him get some man-pussy during the fight by humping and hugging his opponent all night long. Lacazano almost ko UK's finest....Hatton owes his career to the blind and under the tabled paid ref of manchester who allow this shit to take place. And the hatton camp has the balls to say if cortez wasn't the ref, ricky wouldn't have won.......oh what a good laugh.... I dont dislike Ricky, I think he is a chill dude who is a blue collar type. I just think MMA would be a better fit for him. wrong career....as Deniro said hit wasted talent

Hatton wouldn't make it past 6 rounds with either one. Logically thinking he gets hit way to often and his defense is horrible.

he thought of him vs. mayweather agian is hysterical. He is not a hall of fame fighter. He may get in based on popularity but def. not on creditentials. He really does not bring anything to the table anymore. He will be outboxed by Paulie, probably knocked out by witter and annihalated by Pretty boy.

I'm reading alot about this on the boards here. One of my friends made a good point to sum it up. Cotto was cocky but who wouldn't be? Most boxers have to put in years of effort climbing the ranks and then you get a marketed D level fighter but in front of you who didnt deserve to even be on the undercard? You'd be cocky too.

Im a fan of him but i just dont see him beating a top notch guy. People clamor over his workrate but if you watch closely half the punches have nothing on them, and his feet are even set properly. He does have power but not one punch power. His pressure is good but only against someone who can't keep their cool. I see cotto handling him actually easier then most people think. Cotto is faster, smarter, stronger mentally and his overall abilities are superior then Tony's. Plus the size advantage plays into cotto's counterpuching abilitiy Cotto 9 rounds to 3

Its the truth he really hasnt beat anybody minus Kosta ( and dont give me that JLC bullshit either he has more miles on him then a old toyota).

He is going to bitch up a storm for this next year b/c he is having trouble making weight and he knows his time is alomost up in the !$& WW division. If you ask any writter or boxing critic Cotto is the Top dog to Mayweather not anybody else. Paul Williams has had one win over a top guy in that division, he needs to earn his stripes b4 he runs his mouth. Yeah he poses a threat to anybody from 147-154 but he needs to prove it in the ring against top opposition. Paul Williams Cotto Margarito Quintana, Urkal Judah, Mosley He should call out mosley since he is availbale to fight, Clottey, Collazo and h=even Berto cause Berto is a green as Willaims was b4 the margarito fight

!st off, In my honest opinion I like Paul Willaims but he hasn't fought anybody other then Margarito in a deep WW divison, So really he has no right calling out Cotto who has fought Judah, Mosley, Urkal, Quintana. Im not bashing Him but i get the feeling that he knows hi time is limited inat 147 due to weight problems and thats why he and Goosen are bitching up a storm when they should be focusing on Quintana. Plus I'm not sold on Williams' power so I think it should be interesting to see the effects of his punches and face on quintana in comparison to Cottos.

Paulie floors hatton in a close fight.... Hatton's chin is garbage if PBF ko'd him Paulie def. can.

I have Paulie by KO. if Hatton cant withstand PBF at 147 how is he gonna withstand Paulie at a drained 140.

Once again as I read alot of these posts and comments on here I see the same shit that I saw when Cotto was about to square off with Judah. "He gets hit to much, His chin is weak, sow punches, one dimentional..blah,blah blah. Everyone is entitiled to there opinion but alot of people keep betting against cotto..... 1. PBF doesnt want to face Cotto b/c Arum and b/c Cotto has a relentless style similar to Castillo which is the only style that gave PBF fits. 2. Mosley and Cotto have both only been down once in there careers ( in case you so-called fans turned boxing experts forget getting stunned is not getting knocked down and in doesn't mean you have a weak chin either) 3. Yes Mosley has more ring smarts than Cotto but when has Cotto ever fought a fight where he did not dictate the pace and exert his game plan? 4. Mosley as of late still has a tendency to throw one shot at a time with an occasional combo. 5. Cotto is younger, better stamina and has more will. Mosley was gettinmg tired in the Collazo fight and that was what a year ago and he is approaching 36 now. 6. This might piss off a few people on here but Cotto has that Tyson like feel to him. Remember how most of tyson's opponents had that look in there eye right before the fight like they knew they got into something that was a lil to depp for them. Think back to Judah in the locker room right before the fight with Cotto. He look scard to shit and Cotto was laughing and play fighting with his son and then he Flips the switch as soon as that bell rang....

Arum and Schaffer sat down yesterday and are working on a deal for this fall to pit Cotto and Mosley against one another according to steve kim of maxboxing... If this does happen it will be a great match up of styles...

Thanl this cash cow for not fighting PBF in a rematch. He just saved boxing from a even boring event than there first one was. He also didn't give in to that spoiled bitch. Now PBF has eith 2 options retire for real for real or fight Mosley,Margarito, Cotto, or Hatton.... on another note, Paulie looked real good tonight not powerful but impressive. He would give any JWW a handful. He could beat Hatton I believe cause this kid as foot speed, hand speed and the biggest this stamina.

DO you think the United States is ready to except the first gay boxer to come out of the closet? I mean all the signs are there. Your thoughts please....

The truth is that PBF only made that money b/c of DLH fans...Cotto would sell more PPV against a no name then PBF would against a no name so he needs to grow a sack..It would be an interesting fight though with Cotto a LIVE underdog. PBF doesn't have power, Can't brawl, and his chin still hasn't be tested. His speed and skills would be tough for Cotto though. This is the best fight that can be made in Boxing roght now

does anyone know what it is on sat....

I can't wait for him to beat Zab's loud mouth ass....And I can't wait to see most of your reactions to it since most on this site think for some reason that ZAB is going to pull it all together (since he always does and is always focues)... Word of advice to all of you who have ZAB winning start writing a rough draft on what your response willbe cause i cant wait to see the ones who said he'd lose now say " I thought he'd win all along.....This is the fight that should due 2.15 PPV buys.....great night for a true fight fan

If you think all americans hate hatton, please tell me your take on what we feel is his homosexuality coming out in his fight with all his humping he does to his oppenents after 4 rounds.....im all ears He is a cool dude though And all americans dont hate him Im sure he hasbig following among the MMA fans

I have recently watched a few fights of each and my opinion out themis this..... As a fan we always want to see someone put together the fight we all know they are capable of fighting. But honestly how often do they do it.Everyone is fascinated with Tyson even way after his prime but we all watch and say he is going to fight that fight and he always disappoint (tyson after jail by the way no the one early on). Judah is this fighter, someone with all the talent in the world to be the BEST. Speed, power, swagger, etc. But he cant put it together and shows this all the time. His only together fights were against elusive fighters who moved like him (spinks, mayweather the first few fights) They did not press and he was comfortable with this b/c he his always faster then his oppenents in terms of motion and beating them to the punch. He will only have a punchers chance against Cotto. He is incapable of putting it together for 3min and 12 rounds. And all the "he learned his lesson", "He is maturer now", "The lay off helped him" "He wasn't inspired" shit is false and people need to except it. Im a NY'er and a ZAB fan and Im also a Cotto fan and Cotto will win b/c ZAB will be ZAB as much as people want him to be THAT fighter.....Other then that this is a fight fans dream fight fuck the DLH-PBF media hype, this is want boxing is about

welterweight is too big for him as he put it but now he's calling out DLH? obviously for money reason but he going to try a fight him at aleast 154.....this why he is a wet vagina......cant wait for castillo to expose him and send his ass back to the UK.....he should fight Collazo before anybody after Castillo

when a fighter makes some money and how their whole ego changes. Look at Jermain Taylor for instances: before the first hopkins fight he was a humble country kid, well-spoken, polite, a real fighter that all races and people respected. WTF happened? Now he is a ghetto talking money this money that fighter with a huge posse now with him in the ring. Sounds like a fighter we all know all love to hate right? and on that note I could see PBF fighting Taylor and winning the same way he beat DLH and you Taylor would fight PBF the same way he fought Spinks but the difference is PBF would land a lot more.

A lot of you fucks keep tryin to compare peoples career with people of the past and its sickening. For example, on Cotto, "Tito was fightin greats at this age unlike Cotto" ok so who gives a fuck? people move at their own pace. At least cotto doesn't make hilarious claims to be so damn good and cocky like a certain fighter recently who forgot how to punch in combos and fought a fuckin dud of a fight. Zab and Cotto is argubaly the best fight we have coming up. Williams vs. margarito a close second. A lot of answer should be answered about all 4 fighters and i dont' mention Hatton because hes a fuckin wrestler and a closet homo who loads up on viagra before a fight and humps his opponent to death. R.I.P. Corrales

If PBF will do what he did tonight against cotto he will be in arm cast my the nights end.......Just remember the cotto branco fight and remember the pain cotto does even when he hits ur arms.......some please argue with me cause im in the mood right now

If you are part of this website you all realize hopefully that you are a rare breed of a fan. With that in mind WHY BASH COTTO? when he is exciting, offensive minded, technically sounded, hard-working and of course he wins every match he faced so far. The reason this man is talked about and hyped up is for all those reasons above but also he shows vulnerability which some people just don't like.(aka cotto bashers). If this man is to lose a fight you know for damn sure he is going to throw bombs to the last minute. Urkal was a pain in the ass and would have been for any WW out there the man withstood the the great god like Kosta Tyuzu At least this fighter doesnt claim to be the GOAT of alltime and refer to himself in 3rd person Any by the way did any of you notice Cotto throwing more upstairs especially uppercuts often?
