Hatton a bum??

[Burner]

Hes an okay fighter..and he beats the **** out of Cotto at 140.

[Addition]

It would be close at 140 and could go either way but i'm leaning towards Cotto.

[Silencers]

Just because Hatton lost to the best fighter on the planet doesn't make him a bum, he's still the best 140 pounder out there IMO.

At 140, it's a toss up fight because of Cotto's trouble in making weight.
At 147, Cotto would knock Hatton out.

[Akatsuki]

The problem for Cotto will be the weight.. At 147 Cotto is a beast but I think at 140 Cotto will still beat his ass and make Hatton a punching bag..

Hatton would stop Cotto at 140.

He always look one punch away from looking like he was wearing stiletto's.

[RL_GMA]

The weight would make a difference, but I think Cotto would still pull it off. Torres clocked Cotto with some vicious upper cuts which Hatton doesn't really use in his arsenal as opposed to his swingin body shots. Hatton' style is open season for Cotto at 140 or 147.

Cotto was still able to get up after being knocked down by a tough puncher and ended up TKO'n him.

He'd kill Hatton at 147, and would still win at 140.

i reckon hatton will ko cotto at 140

[Tuggers1986]

140 - Hatton
147 - Cotto

I agree.

At 140 it would be close but Hatton would take it. Cotto is a natural WW. He always looked a little drained at 140.

At 147 Cotto would win.

If you take the Cotto of 4-5 fights BEFORE Malignaggi when he wasn't struggling to make weight as badly Cotto would win.

Cotto is just a better boxer with more power. Cotto would be just as strong and just as good an athlete as Hatton and if Hatton isn't stronger than his opponent then he struggles. Hatton's success depends on his athletic superiority i.e. Strength, speed, stamina, workrate, he is not a "skilled" fighter.

Cotto has beaten better athletes than him with boxing skill. People dismiss Hatton's struggles against Collazo and PBF as just weight issues at 147lbs. But they fail to acknowledge that they are the best athletes he has faced. They are also the best fighters he has faced (Tzu has a greater legacy than Collazo but wasn't as good a fighter at time of fight).

Thats the reason why Hatton can't cut it at WW. He is not stronger than them or a significantly better athlete than the top guys. Cotto would beat Hatton at either weight.

Cotto's not fighting at 140 again, and he'd have incredible difficulty making that weight so this debate seems a bit odd. Are we debating whether or not Cotto will be healthy enough to be competive at 140? Possibly but he's not ever going away from the better weightclass so who cares. Spinks might be able to knock out Pavlik at 154 b/c Pavlik would be so sickly but it wouldn't credit Spinks any.
