    it seems the consensus is hatton is better than cotto..why is floyd gettin flack??

    for taking on ricky hatton??
    reading thru some posts on this site
    it seems a majority of people think hatton is the better fighter and has faced better opposition then miguel cotto
    with that said floyd is fighting hatton next
    why is he receiving hate for taking on one of the best fighters?



    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.

              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.
