    Hatton is dumb. He neglected the body.

    I think Cotto Vs Mayweather would be good. Very close fight. Chess match. Just like Shane Mosley Vs Cotto. Would be great though. I doubt it will happen.

        cotto would lose worst than hatton did, and possibly by tko, the only i reason i say this, is because hatton is a smotherer, cotto isn't, and cotto isn't fast enough for floyd. cotto's style is just perfect for floyd. i feel cotto would try to box with floyd, and that would lead to many right hand leads and left hook leads and they would land very effectively. i have stated this since 2004, that floyd would tear into cotto. he is just too methodical for cotto. now, seeing how floyd won against hatton, i would like to see him defeat cotto. hatton's style would give anyone a headache because of how he clinches, but cotto ****s and against floyd, he would lose by tko, i guarantee you all, floyd would cut his face up bad, and floyd is not as fast as he used to be, i could tell tonight, but he is still the smartest fighter in boxing and the most accurate. floyd by tko on cuts.

          he neglected the body because floyd didn't give him many good angles to land an effective bodyshot. and, just like i said, floyd goes to the body very well and breaks you down, which he did in the later rounds. he broke hatton down. and, he really didn't use speed in this fight like we thought. he used tactics and controlled the pace, unlike manny said, floyd controlled the pac of this fight, which is a huge reason why he won. he frustrated hatton and even on the defensive, floyd controlled the pace, which is why compubox numbers had hatton landing the way they did. floyd can win a round whether he's the aggressor or not, which is what he did.

          imagine if they fought in 2005, floyd would have killed hatton. but, i take my hat off to ricky, he fought a good fight.

                i wish it does happen, but some of you guys miight be right, if cotto tries to box with mayweather, mayweather would definately be sharper and faster.
                cotto's team is very smart they might try to combine different forms of fighting. a little of ricky a little of zab and a lot of cotto.

                  I wouldnt be surprised if Floyd stopped Cotto. No way Cotto beats Floyd, he is too slow on his feet, no chance whatsoever. Also he thinks too much, you wont beat Floyd by trying to be a cerebral fighter. Hope it happens so more haters can quit not giving Floyd his just due. Funny how Merchant brought up Winky when talking to Floyd, he wants Floyd to lose so bad its pathetic, but 90% of people do, its so satisfying when he shuts the haters up.

                    Cotto is the only logical fight for Floyd to take at this point. If Floyd beat Cotto, then that points the way to unification....an historical acheivement. Floyd claims he's the "greatest of all time," he now has a chance to prove it.

                    Cotto is bigger than Hatton with more reach. He presents a different situation all together for Floyd to solve. Cotto is much more than the stereotypical view of Cotto as a body ****ing, slightly dirty, come forward brawler. He can adapt and box when he needs to. He also has a great jab. The Mosely fight proved this.

                    I would pick Cotto in a toss up.
