      I think Hatton is very under-rated on this site. Whoever he has fought, he has dealt with them, although they might not be the "elite" they haven't been ridiculous bums. In my dumb opinion Cotto has fought the same level as Hatton so there's no reason behind why Cotto would "KTFO" hatton.
      And imo I think Ricky is a far better fighter than Sharmba and could cause Kostya a few problems. As a fan of Ricky,i think he would have to fight out of his whitey skin to beat Kostya! My point is that i wouldn't write off ricky completely until they've fought!

        Is Hatton the #1 IBF mandatory already... or is he just rated #1... I don't remember him being in an eliminator... I remember he was to fight Mitchell for the #1 spot he was ran scared... Read one article where Hatton says "I am keen for the fight and, given my IBF mandatory position, all the cards are set up nicely."
        So basically I interpret that as being they will offer Zoo 40% of the total purse... the fight has to be in Manchester... otherwise Tszyu is scared and Hatton's team will send a letter to the IBF giving up his #1 position because Tszyu won't agree to our terms...

            There is a possibility that KT and Hatton may fight and if ever they do, I see KT whippin' Hatton's ass. I would prefer to see KT fighting Floyd Mayweather after one more fight or by late next year.

              No. None of that is likely to happen. For one thing, is Tzyu can't get Hatton, he'll probably take on Gatti, or Mayweather if Pretty Boy gets there first. He'd beat either one.

              Tzyu would stop Gatti in a bloodbath, or beat Floyd up in a fairly close fight. Gatti's chin isn't as dependable as his heart and Tzyu's a great finisher. If Angel Manfredy got the stoppage, Tzyu would too (I do know the stoppage was on cuts, but that doesn't make a material difference). Floyd would probably take the early rounds, but his hands would fail him at some point and then Tzyu's dependable right hand and new found left hook would start landing and eventually he'd go down. Floyd would probably get up because of his ego, and may be able to dance the last three or four rounds to safety, or maybe Tzyu would put him back on the canvas.

              As for Cotto, that fight probably won't ever happen. Well, unless Tzyu were to age a bit more and start looking 35 in the ring. Otherwise their career parths will just barely miss intersecting as Tzyu moves to 147 and Cotto takes over at junior welter.

                Remember....just because Cotto destroyed Sosa & Floyd didn't, it doesn't mean anything.
                Floyd's not the same kind of fighter as Cotto.
                Some guys will write anyone off.

                  Yeah, i know your joking me!! Ndou is a top 20 fighter at best, only the WBC rate him in the top 15 and we all know how **** the WBC ratings are!! they even rate Witter as top5!! LMFAO!!

                  To say Hatton would get KTFO is a very bold statement which is likely backfire!! Hatton a very talented fighter, who's displays couldnt be more convincing!! Anyone who thinks Cotto has beaten better fighters than Hatton, is a blind idiot!! I hope you have more sense than that.

                  I'm a Cotto fan and have followed him since he turned pro but i'm not blind, he's been in with **** fighters, even worst than Hattons opponents! So how could you possibly know Cotto could step up and knock Hatton out??

                    It's hard for me to tell from what you are saying but do you think Hatton has a chance against Tyzsu, you say Tyszu would beat Gatti in a blood bath, I agree that he would win but \I think it would be quite an easy win, I also think that Hatton would beat Gatti well.

                      I'm confident that Hatton will fight abroad against Tszyu, Tszyu is a genuine world champ and one of the only fighters worth travelling for!! It makes me laugh that people expect Hatton to fight in America against weak opponents for less money!?!

                      I'd see Hatton travel for - Gatti, Mayweather and Tszyu! Everyone else can come to him. Although I dont care about Gatti's title, its only the money Hatton should travel for, Hatton was WBC number 1 until they realised Gatti was worth more money and let him fight for the title instead(WBC are one corrupt organisation) so really Hatton should have fought Branco for the title.

                      I also think Tszyu should get the champions share of the money, I think Hatton will concede that Tszyu is the real champ(unlike Harris who was given the title) and would be willing to take a pay cut out of respect.

                      I'm a little shocked that you could believe anything that ****ING IDIOT Sharmba mitchell says . Didnt you watch the first Tsyzu fight?? He asked his corner to pull him out about five times until they give in and then said in an interview that his corner wouldnt let him continue . How can anyone believe a word he said?

                      Exactly the same with Harris, He refused to fight abroad and take less money than Hatton because he was the champ, i could understand why some people would choose to believe him until he fought in Germany for less money than Urkal!! LMFAO!!
