Please explain how Cotto is just like Hatton

[thegreatone1]

easy question. many posters here keep using Hatton as an example of how Cotto would get easily beaten by Floyd. I would assume that people would know difference between styles and attributes, but apparently.........

Cotto is stronger than Hatton at 147lbs hits a lot harder and although doesnt have Hattons footwork has developed a supeb jab.

Hatton at 140lbs looks like Cotto just a smaller version.

With an imparcial referee Cotto will give Mayweather a much tougher fight than Hatton did and has the best shot out of anyone to beat him.

I also think Mosley has a style to give Mayweather trouble.

cotto is a boxer/puncher, hatton is a brawler

Youve clearly only seen a few of Hatton's fights, for the most part he plays the role of a boxer/puncher, but he abandoned that agianst Floyd becuase it was evident he would not be able to box with him. The Castillo fight was much more of a brawl becuase Castillo fights are always brawls.

There are definitly clear cut comparisons that can be made between Cotto and Hatton.
They both have the ability to box/punch, which was what Hatton did to the majority of his opponents. The difference is that Hatton has a much rougher, mauling style, and has a higher workrate.

Hatton got his ring intelligence knocked out of him before the Floyd fight.
At this point, that's the difference.

There 26 points richer found the donate botton. Hatton hugs hes nowhere near cottos type of fighter.

Hatton is VERY ONE DIMENSIONAL ..and I have seen about 10-13 of his fights.
