What's with everyone on the Quintana bandwagon?

Damn right. Hatton would smash Cotto to pieces in whatever weight they fought at.

dont be ******. every1 knows hatton has no place being at 147 anymore. now, at 140, yes hatton would probly beat cotto. but 147, cotto crushes ricky.

I don't particularly think Quintana is going to win, I just hope he will win.

I really like his style and I think if he could sharpen his game a little more than he could be a great fighter. The biggest problem I see is that he tends to jump in and he jumps right into a glove on his face which knocks him down. I think you will see a knock down in this fight. But his movement is spectacular and he punches at lots of angles which sometimes causes a punch that you aren't expecting or don't see. He has super potential.

Hatton faced a full blown Welterweight in Luis Collazo and it has to be said put up one of his worst career performances anyway. I don't think it should all be blamed on the weight, Ricky just wasn't his best that night.
However if he moved up to 147 to face Cotto he would essentially be facing a Light-Welterweight at Welterweight so there wouldn't be any real advanatge to either fighter, so yes that's why I think Hatton would have the beating of Cotto at any weight. As I personally also believe he would over Floyd Mayweather Jr aswell, If he fights his best that is.

I just hope Quintana is as good as people are saying he is so it could be an entertaining fight.

Not in the mood for a jabfest tonight. Give us another Cotto - Torres!

you've got the whole thing bass ackwards. HATTON is the jr welter at welter and COTTO is the real welter. cotto's moving up in weight cuz making 140 is killing him. hatton moved up for big fights and now hes moving back down to 140.

you see how that works?

Reguardless Cotto isn't an established Welterweight, he's making the move up and we'll have to see how he does with it.
Like I've already said Hatton had a bad night in his first fight at Welterweight and I think everybody over emphasises the weight issue, If he had stopped Collazo in the first round after the knockdown nobody would have questioned his weight and it would have been a different story entirely.

[Easy-E]

Dannnn are you ****** or something?
Hatton couldnt handle Collazo's power at 147, I shudder to think what Cotto would do to him.
Ricky has a better chin, but his power is severly weakened at 147.

??? He didn't hurt Collazo. He caught him with a good shot and the perfect time. Collazo was dancing backwards and had his legs at an angle.

He got off the mat and whooped Ricky's ass. He wasn't hurt.

yeah, ok. we could play the "what if" game but instead lets play the "what happend" game cuz "what happend" is what really counts. hatton didnt stop collazo in the 1st, probly because he is/was incapable of accomplishing said feat. hatton has 5 1st round KOs in his career, all of which coming in the 1st 13 months of his career, his last one being on halloween of '98.
