    Does Cotto have the right to call Hatton overrated?

    The both have signature big wins. Hatton beat an aging tszyu and cotto an even older mosley. both beat quick fighters in malignaggi and judah. hatton also has castillo and cotto got quintana.

    cotto didnt look dominating against a bigger clottey, neither did hatton against a bigger collazo.

    both have a string of wins against B level fighters though cotto may have an edge for the simple reason hatton fought mainly in the UK and his opponents weren't well known than cotto's (cant fault him for that).

    cotto took a knee in one of his biggest fights against tony while hatton got ktfo by the former p4p fighter floyd.

    hatton got ktfo by pacquiao, but cotto hasn't fought him yet.

    i give cotto an edge in resume and skills, but i dont think he trumps hatton too much to call him overrated.

    I think some boxers are overhyped, more than overrated.

        i agree with mr.cotto because hatton beat castillo and tszyu when they were at their
        way out other than that he hasn't beat anybody with a good record.

                    I don't fault Cotto for taking a knee against Tony ONLY because I give him the benefit of the doubt regarding the possiblity of Tony's gloves being loaded. Against Clottey, I was REALLY disappointed with Cotto, and believe that if he can't pull that off, he has little chance against Pac. Clotty has a nasty habit of being off balance, and I fail to see why he was unable to do that. When considering whether or not Cotto can call Hatton overrated, I think a good rule of thumb would be to ask the question "how would Hatton have performed against that same Clottey, that same night".

                    So no... I don't believe he has that right.
