people dont realize if floyd and cotto win their respective matches, they will end up fighting eachother anyways

I think Hatton matches up better against Floyd than does Cotto, but if they ever fought each other I think Cotto has the advantage over Hatton.

i would give cotto the advantage over hatton as well but just because of his size and strength
his size would give hatton problems because he wouldnt be able to easily smother cotto

but as far as their careers are concerned alot of people think ricky has accomplished more and is a better fighter overall then cotto
ricky is the main man at 140
and cotto is one of the champions on the verge of superstar status

if thats the case and floyd is fighting ricky over cotto, why is floyd getting ****ted on for fighting the better opposition?

I'd say they're about on par.

I dont think there's many people complaining about the Floyd Hatton matchup except delusional Mosely fans. He's gonna get stopped by Cotto.

Cotto is better than ricky.I think ricky is way overrated!

[sonofisis]

It would be much easier (for Mayweather) to out box Cotto and counter punch him than it is Ricky. Ricky is like a busy bee and he's sort of awkward (in his own way). Floyd would have to throw more punches against Hatton than he would have to against Cotto, but I agree that Cotto would probably give Ricky hell.
