Should Hatton have fought Cotto

[Dan...]

Hatton would be completely destroyed by Miguel Cotto, now or in 2005. No difference.

[Chunk..]

Hatton beats Cotto at 140 IMO. Cotto would beat Hatton at 147 though.

Am hoping this fight can still be made to be honest, at a catchweight maybe? It would be a great spectacle. All them Porto Rican and British fans in one stadium, can you image how good the atmosphere would be for this fight.

Damn.

Hatton vs Pinto was arranged for the vacant title, but Pinto got injured. Then for some reason it was Cotto vs Pinto for the belt. Does anyone know why? I don't remember to be honest.

Cotto has always been a good inside fighter, his main weakness back then was fighting out the outside. I watched Cotto-Pinto this morning and even after 2 KDs, Pinto was able to win a round by using his reach and keeping the fight on the outside. I don't think that Hatton would've exploited this so I would give the edge to Cotto.

You mean Warren wouldn't let Hatton fight Cotto?

You mean Warren wouldn't let Hatton fight Cotto?

Warren won't put his fighter up against anyone with a pulse unless his fighter is on the way out.

I think past or present Cotto would beat Hatton...

I don't disagree, but that doesn't mean that's what happened on that occassion.

If you look at Pinto and Cotto pre-2005, I don't think that Cotto looked that much better. Obviously he was better, but both were undefeated prospects and had similar AM careers.

NO he ask what happened to the Hatton/pinto fight, remember the fight was suppose to happen just like Sharmba Mitchell was suppose to fight Hatton?

I meant Warren mess up the fight, He would promise a fighter X amount of money then he would try to go back on the agreement.
