Don't you realize you are the second coming of Sin?

By making threads indirectly hating on Hatton that makes you exactly wut Sin is.

I don't like his chances against Chavez, Whitaker or a peak De La Hoya.

Isn't it possible that Paulie is just a tough, durable kid? I'm not sure what you are saying there.

I need to think about the McGirt one a little more. Hatton-Cotto @ 140 is an even money fight.

Hatton making Camacho run and survive. Camacho might land his share of decent shots with his speed but Ricky can take them and give them back in return. Hatton UD 12.

rosario may take a beating like he did versus jcc. i know ricky is not chavez but rosario was better @ 135 anyway.

Hatton vs. Julio Cesar Chavez

Hatton vs. Pernell Whitaker

Hatton vs Meldrick Taylor

Hatton vs. Kostya Tszyu

Hatton vs. Hector Camacho

Hatton vs Roberto Duran (assume 140)

Hatton vs Shane Mosley (assume 140)

Hatton vs Aaron Pryor

Hatton vs Oscar Delahoya (140)

Hatton vs Buddy McGirt

Hatton vs Edwin Rosario (140)

Hatton vs Miguel Cotto

That only safe thing to say here is that Hatton would not have beaten Duran. Everybody else is impossible to call.

It becomes a matter of who you think would "snatch" the other's body first.

Cotto would be the bigger man. Hatton would be the faster man. Cotto seems to have been more of a destroyer, and hatton would be the more active fighter. Both have holes defensively.

Can you envision Cotto being bullied back into the ropes?
