    what round did Cotto KO Mosley? Id say Oscar looked better against Mosley even though he didnt get the decision, and that was a prime, fast Mosley.

      A rematch with DLH would do more PPV's than a fight with Cotto, Hatton was a bigger draw than Cotto and that fight did around 800k.

      May-DLH II will atleast do 1.6 mill ppv buys compared to their first fight which was 2.4 mill whereas a fight with Cotto would do something around 700k-900k PPV Buys.

      Boxing fans will prefer Cotto vs May but casual fans will prefer the DLH rematch, and casual fans are way more in numbers than boxing fans. I would prefer Mayweather vs Cotto obviously, but the bigger draw fight is Mayweather vs DLH II

      How is Hatton a BIGGER draw THEN Cotto?

      which Hatton PPV's prior to FIGHTING FLOYD are you basing this on?

        the fact is, no one can really tell how good Oscar really is now at this point because the last SERIOUS threat he faced was against BHOP. We wont know untill the Forbes fight to see what Oscar still has. Its ignorant to say though that Oscar can still beat all of the Welter Weights and Middleweights out there right now and we have yet to see him do that since his loss to BHOP. Not saying YOU said that, but Cotto detractors have stated that numerous times in numerous threads.

          Cotto is not slow at all, hes actually fast. He has fought harder punchers than Mayweather and some that are as accurate. Not only is he a great stalker/boxer puncher, but he can also bring the fight to his opponents and his defense has improved. He can fight going backwards as well.

          He has the ability offset Mayweather's game by using his bigger size and punching power to rough Mayweather up. Castillio was able to go to Mayweather's body and be effective at playing the part of the aggressor and i see Cotto being able to do the same thing. It would be a close figh

            Answer this question:

            Cotto is a bigger draw than Hatton?

            Yes or No?

            I want to see the ******ness in you, seriously, did you see 30,000 people coming from UK to USA to see Ricky Hatton? Cotto is popular is NYC...

            Hatton's fight with Tszyu was on PPV here and it did better than any Cotto fight on PPV has, Hell he was with a superstar in Mosley and they still did lower than Mayweather vs Baldomir

            Again, Mr Genius, Is Cotto a bigger draw than Ricky Hatton?

              Thats true, but Hatton was able to sell that 24/7. Another factor was that Black vs. White always sells as well. Cotto has 0 charisma to sell a major fight so he must do it on merits alone. I think hes getting there and if he keeps winning of course hell be there, but to say hes a major draw as of now, i think would be false.

                  Hatton is a bigger draw with Cotto period, If anyone even argues about this they suffer from severe mental ******ation, how the **** did anyone now see 30,000 fans BUYING PLANE TICKETS to come to USA just to see Hatton fight?

                    haha, I was just trying to break it down in terms of US PPV numbers since that was Hatton's first apperance of PPV over here, and thats what he was basing it on.
