    This seems really bad for both Hatton and Cotto.
    Cotto is different than Hatton. Both are aggressive and have determination, thats all they have in common. It should be verry clear for everyobne who knows boxing that these to man are different fighters. Personally i think Cotto is better than Hatton. Cotto is one of these fighters who are more skilled than they look. Cotto is not the fastet but he has skill. More skill than Hatton. Hatton is just verry fast and throws lots of punches but Cotto in my few is more skilled and way more heavy handed.

        They are both come forward pressure fighters who rely on body punching.

        They are both fighting super-fast slicksters.

        Are there differences between Hatton and Cotto? **** yes.

        Are there differences between Mayweather and Mosley? **** yes.

        But I think it is odd that Ricky wouldn't have confidence in a style similar to his to defeat a fighter who uses a style similar to his next opponents.

            Hatton is incredibly agile and naturally athletic. An inside smothering pressure fighter with dynamic combinations and quick feet. Hatton is a grade above.
            I agree, Cotto only has an edge over Hatton in strength and maybe a slight edge in puching power. Hatton dosen't carelessly come straight forward like Cotto, he uses his underrated footwork to come forward from different angles, smother his opponents and land quick,hard combinations to the head and body. Like you said, Hatton is very agile and naturally athletic. Hatton is the closest thing to a real live pitbull in boxing and he is gonna hunt down Floyd on December.8

              Because Hatton is more skilled than Cotto he's going to outbox Mayweather now? Reality doesn't quite work like that.

                Indeed, and at the very least alot of very ignorant junior Boxing observers will get a lesson in combat. It will be educational for some.

                  I was being facetious in my post. I hope you aren't going to bet your bankroll on Hatton. All those points you win on Mosley will go right down the ****ter.

                    Don't worry about my bankroll, smart guy. That's none of your business.

                    No need to tell people smarter than yourself a ****ing thing.

                    Mind your manners.

                      No need to pull any rank, arrogant guy. You're just a fan like anyone else. Nobody special. Just a guy on the internet with an opinion. Don't play that holier than thou **** with me.
