Hatton in Major Trouble

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

Uh oh. Looks like Hatton is in major trouble. There wont be any weaseling out of this one.

Arum has just announced he is ready to bring Miguel Cotto, the WBO Super light champ, To the UK to defend his title against Mandatory challenger Ricky Hatton.

Frank Warren seemed to downplay their challenge and stated they would try to fight the winner of Tszyu vs Mitchell. Yeah right.

lol If this does go through and Cotto beats the hell out of Hatton I will be a Cotto fan.
I've been waiting for someone to finally get this little ****.
I know it's mostly Warren, but it's not like Hatton has been trying to get anyone.

I don't even know who Hatton is. I better leave this topic.

[doomeddisciple]

Awesome.

At least this will finally put Warren and the UK Hatton nuthugging brigade something to talk about.

On Arum's part its an excellent idea - He's got a guy he has complete confidence in and can use the belt as leverage, if Hatton and Warren turn this down - May Hatton serve drinks and beat up on locals in a Manchester pub...

...... what happens if Hatton KO's Cotto. Warren will never let any of his fighters leave their block let alone the country. I like Hatton but it might be better for his career if he loses and dumps Warren to get some real experience in the states

Southpaw - if that happens I will say - "All hyped prospects should be forced to fight one another from now on before making a run at the cream of the division".

Cotto retires Hatton.

As a matter of fact, I believe that if it were Cotto in the ring with Hopkins on Saturday night insead of DLH, Hopkins would be contemplating retirement after losing to a blown-up Junior Welterweight.

dont be so ridiculous. I take it you are joking or are you seriously suggesting Cotto could take out hopkins if so please do sort yourself out

Let see bout Cotto dont forget Lovemore Ndou and Pinto aside he has been feasting on blown up lightweights, Pinto is relatively unknown and untested so we cant use that as a yard stick. At tie sin the Ndou figth he looked far from emphatic.

Yes he does look fabulous you cant deny this but while his attributes are plain to see hios deficiences may not be. The fact that he is basically left handed and boxing orthodox is not a plus, the fact he is left hand happy is down to the fact his right is pretty much ****ed from the car crash he was in a while back. Take a look he throws 3 x as many lefts as rights, what happens if he damages his left hand in a fight?

Also do you not think that the real top contenders , the proven mem will look at this and develop a strategy. We havent seen anyone back him up yet, whats he like then?


While I agree he does look like the new sensation there are too many imponderables as yet to be declaring him as the next Duran / Sugar Ray etc etc

Id like to see him fight mitchell or mayweather, believe they could have the styles to really give him problems.

Dont most fighters that use the jab like cotto does use the left more than the right.. hehe only logical right?

[J !]

yeah indeed but not so overtly.

Im not slagging cotto off he looks great merely pointing out there may be some deficiences that arent so apparent to the eye.
