Ricky Hatton Can Beat Miguel Cotto, Says Jennings

[Xcusemymood]

At 140 Cottos get knocked out.

At 147 Hatton gets knocked out.

At 144 Who the **** knows.

hahahah yeah right.

what next on tomato can cart for cotto cintron another mediocre brit or may one of the pretenders could help blow him up to everybody super hero

Id really like to know who has fought better competition in the past 3 years than Cotto? Yeah Torres, Malignaggi, Quintana, Judah, Mosley, and Margarito were all bums. Your a ****ing idiot.

In his last two fights Cotto got pummelled by a basic fighter and he beat up a guy in a total mismatch.

Cotto's a good fighter no doubt but people need to get some perspective where he is concerned.

Does anyone else agree that Hatton might be better off keepng the words POUND FOR POUND out of his mouth if he cant move up 1 weight division and fight? Ive read articles and he keeps saying he will be P4P #1 if he beats Pacman but I am failing to understand his logic.

The P4P ratings are not based on a fighter's ability to move up in weight, you're misunderstanding how they work. Hatton is currently rated #8 in The Ring's P4P ratings. Whether you can move up or not is simply based on the type of frame and body type you have. Whether you are rated in the P4P lists is simply based on imagining what would happen if all the fighters could be magically resized and if their power relative to their weight was resized with them, then who would beat whom. Totally different things. Bob Foster is rated by The Ring as the 17th most devastating P4P puncher of all time, yet all five heavyweights he fought beat him easily. Hagler was P4P #1 at one time, and is rated by many as one of the top P4P fighters of all time, yet he only ever fought at one weight. Would Hagler have beaten Hopkins at Middleweight? Most boxing experts would say yes. Would he have beaten him at Light Heavyweight? Most boxing experts would say no. But most would rate Hagler higher in the all time P4P lists than they would rate Hopkins. Hopkins just happened to have a frame and body type that allowed him to move up in weight without losing power, but that isn't what the P4P ratings are based on.

I don't know, but days before the fight people were claiming that Jennings was gonna give Cotto a fight and possibly knock him out- after the fight, he was completely overmatched and never stood a chance.

Margarito is the only guy that I have seen hit Cotto like that; he has been hit before don't get me wrong, but not with the sustained blows he suffered from Margs. In my opinion, Cotto is not a boxing GOD or whatever, but he is not overrated by any stretch of the imagination.

As for Hatton taking out Cotto...Hatton has the power and speed as does Cotto. Hatton would most certainly try to tie Cotto up all night with both of those guys throwing to the body so much it would be a great fight.

I take Cotto just because I think he could hurt Hatton in close. JMO

Hatton knows he can't fight effectively above 140, and I hope he stays where he is after the Pac fight, regardless of the result.

I don't think Pac carries enough of his power up to Welter and nor does Roach. I hope he fights at either Jnr. Welter or Lightweight after the Hatton fight. Money isn't everything.

Hey Sorry I deleted the post because I quoted the wrong portion but here it is.

It's based on how well fighters perform at their or around their weight class.

It's not really about imaginary resizing them because the skills needed, the values placed on each skill, differ with weight class. The skills needed to be a good HW differ largely from those needed to be a good bantam (it doesnt work even speaking in reletive terms).
