Cotto vs Hatton

[moochi]

fight will never happen as Hatton is moving down to fight bigger fights against the likes of Urango, Witter, and Mbaye.....

If he wants big fights they at 147.. You forgot to mention Castillo at 140. Cause once Hatton Vs Castillo happens, Hatton will then move to 147 with nowhere to go. Castillo is going to KO him. He will finish was Collazo couldn't do. Castillo being a great inside fighter he is will put an L on Hatton's resume.

Id pick cotto over Hatton at both weights.

People said cotto was made for hatton because he stand in front of you,but its the otherway around IMO,I think its hattons come forward style that would play into cotto's hands.

I agree 100% here. I think cotto beats Hatton at 40 and 47. Cotto is just a better fighter all-around, and his punching power is better also.

Yeah i agree too, better on the back foot, more offenssive tools, supeirior punch power and EVEN better body shots! The fights easier 4him at 147 tho

Cotto-Hatton is an excellent match-up.

If Cotto maintains his unbeaten record and stays at 147, and Hatton comes through the Urango (likely) and Castillo (pick em) fights this has the makings of FOTY. Trouble is it won't be til sometime in 2008.

As for a winner...Cotto by KO.

Hatton is overrated....he beat the king at 140 who just happened to be fighting for the first time in like 2 plus years, is old and past his prime, at 2am in front of 100K soccer fans. it was a wrestling match. Hattons skin is like papermache' it will peel off him in a FIGHT not a wrestling match. His ass shouldnt even be in the top 10 p4p b/c he hasnt proved anything other then Tyszu....try to make the case for Carlos Maussa who gave him a hell of a fight. Now hes fighting urango who really lost in one of the most obvious bull**** fights in the past few years even teddy atlas said it was ****in joke.

Cotto would light his ass up....Collazo would to if they fought again at 147. and this Urango fight has potential to be a upset urango is garbage against a boxer but he is one of the most compacted inside fighters from 135 to 147. Taylor made for hattons style...

I just dont understand why so many on this website ride his ****. he hasnt proved ****....

My opinion on this fight is the same as it was a year ago, I think Hatton would win. Both are great fighters and nothing is guaranteed in boxing but I think Hatton would overwhelm Cotto and break him down. I think alot of you are only thinking of the Hatton that went in against Collazo, which was possibly the worst performance of his career. I've seen plenty of Hatton's fights and quite a few of Cotto's fights and believe me Hatton is a MUCH better fighter than what he showed against Collazo. Maybe I am a little biased having seen more of Hatton and he is my preferred fighter, but I love to watch Cotto fight aswell; I just lost some faith in him after the Torres fight. He looked like something special before that bout (apart from the minor blip against Corley).
Anyway I think it would be a great fight and difficult to predict the winner but I would always lean slightly towards Hatton.

Gotta go with Cotto at either weight

Tzsyu, fought and ANNIALATED Sharba Mitchell before fighting Ricky but yeah 3rounds in that long aint much! I was at both the Tszyu and Maussa fights and Maussa did not give Hatton a hell of a fight! He made it okward 4 a few rounds but that was it before that Awsum KO! Hatton just falls short of my P4P top 10 list by the way
