    Fair enough, but I disagree. Becasue he was badly hurt by a light-hitting, 17lb-lighter skirt wearer(!), I think he would go into his shell against a Tszyu. Tszyu (or any other big puncher) should land at some stage, and given what we saw against Corley, Cotto hasn't got the resistance. Sometimes it's better to just go down, like Trinidad does. When you see a guy's legs go all over the place like Zab's (which Cotto's did), you are a sitting duck to get followed up on - which is why Corley's lack of follow up was so strange???
    And I reckon he is open to a body assault.

      That shot was a fluck it was a big unseen shot. Corley has more power than people give him credit for. Anyway Cotto would would be about a 50/50 shot against Zoo and Mayweather, everyone else he beats.

          hmm

          I don't know...in the back of my head I kind of feel that Hatton would tear Cotto a new one. Cotto looks ok in the first round or two and realizes he simply cannot take the heat from Hatton, and gets TKO'd in 5.

              I'm just thinking, Hatton doesn't have that concussive power that Cotto has.

              Hatton is not a big puncher despite his KO record... He wears opponents down, untill they give up. At top level they won't give up, so I see Hatton going to points a lot.
              I'm looking at who Hattons fighting though, i'm not saying there a lot better than Cotto's opponents but their chins are a lot better, Guys like Magee, Phillips, Tackie, Olivera, Stewart and that Russian guy who's name i cant spell, etc, etc, hardly any of them have ever been hurt never mind stopped.
