Cotto vs Hatton

Ok thats only a tuneup fight. But the winner will get Margarito. Thats the same guy that PBF avoid to take a fight that offered him less money. Cotto between the champs in 147 is the one that has faced the better oposition and you have to count margarito this year. And other thing Cotto is not in vacation and eventually is going to fight every contender or cham in 147. He even doesnt choose the oponents to the fights he only trained to them. So if the company puts in front of him a Gorrilla he fights it. Hes not afraid like other boxers around.

Allucard, take Floyd's bag out ya neck.

Only because Cotto can't make 140 without being severely weakened. At 147 it isn't even close.

Yes it is. Cotto would probably stop Hatton but it would be a war.

False, Mayweather made the same money by fighting Baldomir, the lineal welterweight champion.

Oh really, and how would you know, besides wishful thinking I mean?

Are you borikua?

This fight would be a onesided battering of Hatton. Floyd defeated him, but Cotto would destroy him as a fighter, he would beat him until there would be nothing left of him. Hatton is an exciting fighter, a good fighter at 140 and Hatton would trade with Cotto at times but I don't see Hatton lasting even 5 rounds.

What advantages does Hatton have over Cotto? Power? No. Speed? Yes, but not significantly, SSM was much faster.

At 36? Right. But lets continue..

Technique? Are you kidding me, Hatton has no technique

Again, WTF are you talking about?!

, in the prefight interviews he told reporters he know how to punch from different angles. Hatton just swings at you and circles, he doesn't look for angles he just tries to hit you. Defense? Hatton ties you up(...)

You made a good point here but didn't even noticed. That's exactly what could give the fight to Hatton, tieing Cotto up (no body demolition oh noes) when he comes up close and circling him. Cotto does not circle so he will be in the end of Hatton's gloves allllll night. It is true Hatton didn't use angles vs mayweather but thats because mayweather doesnt come stright at you. well cotto does, he is strong and alot of heart but so is hatton and hatton has an huge heart as well. WOW what a fight.

Hatton ties you up and swings wildly so there is no defense, Cotto's defense isn't great but he was able to stop a lot of SSM's punches which impressed me

But Mayweather would kill Cotto

Cotto coming from a guy who's knows as "cotto breaks men" gtf out of here.

Bottom line is this
Obviously Cotto was always underweight at '40
he seems comfortable at '47, but I even suspect he'd be more natural at '54
That said Hatton is a natural @ '40
he would have worn down a weakened 140 Cotto
Cotto @ 147 or higher would knock Hatton out of the ring
and end his career with the beating, if you dont believe me
ask Hatton
