The Overrated Hatton Turned Down Offers To Fight Cotto at 140 Years Ago

[AnimalisticMeth]

Cotto even told him he would go to England and fight him there if he wanted too but Hatton turned down all offers. Why did Hatton never got heat for this? He turned down those offers to fight Maussa a guy Cotto KO years before.

Hatton would have lost and jeopardised his big pay days against Mayweather and Pacman.

Good move by Hatton.

Hard to criticize Hatton for that. At the time, Cotto brought nothing to the table. High risk low reward, and at that point, Hatton wanted the big money fights.

A lot of fights at that time never happen. Floyd was turned down by Ricky and Cotto at that weight. Hatton said he wasn't ready and Arum said Cotto was to green. Harris turned down Cotto and Hatton, because of Steward. Never knew Hatton durned down Cotto at 140

How did Cotto brought nothing to the table? Cotto was ranked #1 after Floyd moved to WW and had one of the best fights of the year against Torres so Cotto fan base was growing. To say he brought nothing is ******.

I don't see Cotto as much of a threat at 140.

cotto was undefeated at 140 and would have been a threat to everyone in that division
