ricky hatton would beat cotto

Thanks, I almost puked in my mouth that some Mayweather fan is that delusional.

Hatton at 140 is much better than Hatton at 147.
And Cotto at 147 is much better than Cotto at 140

By late 2006 Cotto was already having such a hard time making weight at 140 that he was getting rocked and rolled far too much for his own good.
Not sure if any of you remember what he looked liked during the weigh in prior to his match against Paulie Malignaggi. Cotto looked ****** up, dry and pale. He looked like a walking corpse or a speed freak.

I will take Hatton over Cotto at 140 and I will take Cotto over Hatton at 147.
It's pretty simple.

It would be a good fight i reckon, they'd both be tryin to attack each others body, But i reckon hatton would catch cotto comin in with a monstorous punch an knock him out or hurt him

amazing how 7 lbs makes such a diff.. I guess thats what puts fighters who are successful in multiple weight divisions are on a different level than hatton.

At 140 it could go either way, but I would lean towards Cotto.

At 147 Cotto wins by brutal stoppage.

hatton would beat cotto.

At Jr Welterweight Cotto was chinny and lacking in stamina. Arum knows this which is why they could never fight at that weight. The fight would be competitive to begin with but Cotto did not like to work too hard and it would become increasingly one sided throughout the fight. Hatton starts fast and keeps up the pace so I would expect him to rack up three or four rounds early, Cotto could win the next few and then Hatton really starts to take over with a possible late stoppage or a wide decision.

However: Sicne moving up to Welterweight Cotto has really come into his own. He is boxing backwards, mixing it up and has shown none of the weaknesses he did 7 lbs south. On the other hand Hatton has shown how easily his strengths (bullishness, strength, power, workrate) count against him at 147 lbs. Cotto beats Hatton at Welterweight, possibly by stoppage.

[The Hammer]

Cotto would definitely beat Hatton.

He's the stronger, healthier, faster and more skillful fighter.

I see cotto winning rather easily. if hatton didnt hold as much it would be a closer fight.
