Cotto targets Hatton

[SonnyG8R]

I love Cotto and I'd love to see him kick Hatton's ass. This kid is going to be something special i think.

Ele...Cotto destroys Hatton inside of 8 rounds. N'Dou is a tough fight for ANYBODY. He gave Sharmba a hell of a fight. Sosa was a tough fighter who went the full 12 with Mayweather and Cotto destroyed him. Pinto is also another tough 140 pounder who many people were saying could very well beat Cotto and would outbox him blah blah blah...Cotto stops him too. This fight probably won't happen but that's okay because Cotto has bigger fish to fry(c'mon Mayweather )

Read the post above!!

Look at who Cotto has been in with and name one top 5 140lb fighter!

Both Hatton and Cotto havent beaten a current top 5 fighter.

correct.

for ndou / cotto read tackie for hatton.

both easily the best names on the respective records but both wqould only be 8/9 on the top ten at the time of fighting.

Cotto will easily slice through Hatton's defense. Miguel will see enough openings from the volume of punches Hatton loves to throw. Hatton has a tendency to be off balance after releasing a power shot so I expect Cotto to knock him out with a powerful counter. Should Cotto play pressure fighter, Hatton will still lose. Cotto is more intelligent in choosing his shots.

To answer that none yet brother . . . let's just give Cotto a chance . . . the guy is just starting . . . he'll get into that sooner or later . . . against the top 5? It's not going to be a sure win . . . only a ****** fool would say that . . . but I can assure you that ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE before anybody can stop COTTO.

I dont think Cotto will easily slice through Hattons defence, Hatton is a very methodical fighter who has a very underated defence. The only shot Hatton lands slighty off balance is the left hook to the body, Cotto could catch Hatton with his own left hook there but he'll have to take one to give one!

Cotto counldnt play pressure fighter against Hatton, Hatton's strength and work rate are too good for that to work, Cotto will have to get inside and return Hatton shots with quick powerful combo's and hope they take him out(there is a good chance that will happen)

Its a closer fight than people think. this fight is one of the most interesting styles match i can remember and i could go either way.

Things will come a lot quicker for Cotto in the ring anyway, he has better sparring in america and didnt need to be moved along as slow as Hatton did. As ive always said Hatton did his learning and sparring in real fights were Cotto could do it behind closed doors in the gym.

Neither fighter will give up and we could see fireworks.

Peace brother, I miss the site and you my friends back there too. I guess you know what has transpired . . . I'm just not comfortable posting with people I hate. . . If there's anything I hate it's the LIARS, PRETENDERS and WANNA BE's, not everybody though I'm reffering to just about two posters . . .

Hey I should be the one to welcome you here!

Cotto may not be able to pressure Hatton, but he can counterpunch him. Hatton looks wild at times and that Cotto can take advantage of. It could go either way, but I favor Cotto in this match-up. He simply hits a lot harder and a lot more skilled IMO plus the fact that Hatton has just been fighting nobodies at home. He really needs to step up the plate to prove his worth.
