      I seen a thread about if Cotto should retire if he loses to Pacquiao, and most of you said "Cause of 2 losses???"

      I think it's beyond "Cause of two losses".

      And I think he did a big mistake for discrediting Pacquiao's win over Hatton by calling Hatton overrated.

      If he gets KTFO by Pacquiao(no matter what round) he's still got KTFO by Pacquiao, a former featherweight but that's not the problem cause everyone knows Pacquiao IS a great fighter and that's why Cotto is underdog and many think he'll get stopped by this former Featherweight.

      So idk, although i want Cotto to win, I think he pretty much set himself up to look like a fool and join Ricky Hatton, in his own list that he made for Hatton, the overrated fighters list.

      I give Pacquiao full credit for a beating a tough fighter like Hatton the way he did, and I think Cotto should have said this same thing also. That Hatton was a great win, but now if Pacman knocks the F out...well...Cotto shot himself in the foot.
      Cotto isn't the only boxer to say Hatton is overrated.

      It will have nothing to do with the actual fight simply because Cotto is leagues ahead of Hatton and always was.

      I've been saying Hatton was overrated since 2005.

          Slightly, but I don't think Cotto has ever been impressed with Hatton. Back to when they were supposed to fight in 05.

              Hatton WAS and IS overrated, so Cotto saying it automatically means he'll suffer the same fate as Hatton did?

                True, but you have to remember that I don't think Hatton ever wanted it with Cotto. Where Cotto deserves that criticism is for waiting for Paul Williams to move out of the division when P-Will would've fought him at the drop of a dime. Cotto also vindicated his image of being a quitter somewhat when he finished out that fight against Clottey with the cut he had. Clottey is soft though when it comes to mental concentration. Would Cotto have not wilted against a fighter who is more relentless? That's still a question that needs to be answered in my view.
