    What about the rubber match at arco arena
    MSG is the "meca" of boxing, as the HBO commentary calls it. It makes sense it'd be there.

    Can't be in Vegas, if it goes to decision, the judges there are too shaky to be trusted.

      Arco is in Sacramento homey, us Sac cats want some big fights to attend

      and you're right, Vegas would be too shady for a PR vs. UK battle

          It would be a good fight but Cotto hits harder, is more accurate, and counters better. He also has a much better defense IMO, but we just didn't see it against Corley for some reason because he decided that all of a sudden Corley can't hurt him with anything.

          Cotto would stop Hatton in the mid-late rounds IMO with the cards being even.

            It would be great, but Hatton needs to survive Tszyu first...maybe we'll have Cotto-Tszyu...

              The fight has been mentioned a lot but Warren says its a fight for the future, so in other words he's not going to risk it until its a mega fight for mega money. Arum says Cotto would fight Hatton anytime & place but i dont believe that, its too big of a risk without any genuine titles to gain.

              After seeing what Chop Chop did to Cotto it makes me think a higher class opponent like Hatton could KO him but Cotto is still pure class and would make it a hard fight. I'd probably say Hatton UD.

                I agree with this. I don't think we'll be seeing it unless Hatton beats Tszyu or something else comes up.

                  I bet anything that Witter is the bigger threat at this weight now

                    Are you sure about that?? I know the Ndou win was good, even better than Cotto's win against him but i dont think he has the mental ability to cope with Hatton rampaging pressure style. Witter looks a bit lost when fighters put him under pressure and i think Hatton would KO him.
