    Hatton has quicker feet, better chin and more stamina. Paulie will have more trouble getting his distance against Hatton then he did Cotto. That is the difference.


    Agreed except for the highlighted part, Cotto is a fighter you could outbox if you're a good boxer and paulie M was impressive even in losing to him.

      Good question, one that only the fight can answer. But I think Hatton will bring more consistent aggression, higher work rate. Cotto is more skilled but he wastes time occasionally. Hatton will be gunning and grinding him down, tiring him and looking for some big shots post round 8, quite likely to the body. A KO is a big ask given Paulies reach, skills and chin, but a TKO is certainly possible given all of that.

          hatton better learn how to cut off the ring better and find out how to neutralize malignaggi's jab................. retirement is being dangled over his head in this fight. his own words, hatton better be serious with this fight.

            I forgot Cotto was a world beater.

            Hatton was #1 at 140 even when Cotto was in it so pull your head out of your arse!

            Cotto and Hatton at 140 is a competitive and a close fight.

            A pick-em fight.

              I agree. And Cotto also can't clinch, Hatton can effectively create clinches to his advantage and if he doesn't overdo it they can work to his advantage. however if he tries to hit and hold all the time he will get on the ref bad side quickly and won't be able to do it at all. I don't know about this fight. I think it will go to a decision but i don't know who will pull it out. Depends on how well Hatton is moving i guess. IF Paul can tag him on the way in often enough that will quickly demove Hatton from wanting to fight that way and we all know that's the only way Ricky can win. He can't win a boxing match vs a taller more reachy guy like Malignaggi.

                Honestly, I think Hatton K.Os Cotto at 140. Cotto just isn't Cotto at 140.

                  Mayweather leftover you mean the same Corley who also rocked Mayweather. For once you're right this isn't something to debate about, you're obviously wrong.

                    And he broke his hand.

                    Hatton's foot speed and head movement makes it a different fight too. Cotto stood in front of Paulie with his guard up during stretches of the fight.

                      I think he meant Judah.

                      but that still wouldnt make sense being that Judah legitimately knocked down Mayweather and was kicking his ass until he broke down mentally.

                      First time I see eye to eye with you, what a surprise.
