Cotto Vs. Hatton

[El Jesus]

Tszyu hits harder than any of the current welters, and by some distance.

I'll reserve judgement on Hatton's effectiveness at the weight until I see him perform with a decent preparation under his belt.

Maybe he should have gone for a washed up LWW for his 1st fight at the weight - he wouldn't have gotten so much grief.

How many fights did Tszyu have at Welter for us to know how much harder he hit than anyone else in that division?

Tszyu never fought his fight, show me a time in the fight when Tszyu stepped back, set his feet, and put on one of his murderous right hands, come on man.

Cotto would no doubt be the betting favourite. Probably 4 or 5 to 1.

Tsyzu probably hit as hard as the current welters, maybe harder. But he never caught Hatton with his signature right hand in their fight. Hatton was on top of him the whole night and Tsyzu was unable to get the right distance to get full leverage on that punch. If Hatton couldn't handle a flush shot from Collazo, there's no way in hell he stays up from one of Tsyzu's best punches...

We both know he didn't fight at the weight but it's pretty clear to me. Most people are of the opinion that Judah's the biggest hitter in the division and his power isn't a patch on KT's.

Take a look at the start of pretty much every middle round. They didn't all land clean but Hatton walked onto 2 or 3 shots that would have put most fighters away. He ate a few nice u/cuts and hooks too.

He had problems with Collazo. Cotto by brutal KO. this is a beat down.

That statements garbage if he couldnt handle a flush Collazo shot he wouldve been knocked out which he wasnt. Its a credit to Hatton that he never give Tszyu the room to unload on him.

Judah is not the biggest puncher at welter. I think Cintron is. Margarito also has a lot of pop...

The Collazo fight was a combination of volume and fatigue. I wouldn't call looking shaken for 30 secs then going on to win the last minute of the round "not handling".

I agree with every word you see. KT's left hand is more of a punch that stops you in you tracks, but that right hand puts anyone to sleep. Even a guy like Delahoya who has a rock solid chin would get buckled by a Tszyu right hand.

It's not my opinion either but I hear it from a lot of people on here.
