[jatt the ripper]

Hatton had red gloves on

hatton actually had blue gloves on, the colour of his beloved manchester city.

Didn't matter if he had pink gloves on.

yeah i know, but you gave him wearing red gloves a potential excuse and i just wanted to point it out that you were mistaken. No worrires though we all make mistakes.

The only worry there maybe with matching these two up is, Cotto is an HBO fighter whereas Hatton is Showtime.

****...ur rite, that's a big problem...Hatton should sign a deal with HBO...

I reckon either Hatton or Cotto wanna try their hardest to get the Mayweather fight!

Personally I think both of these fighters would beat Mayweather no problem. They're both too big and too strong for Mayweather, and the Americans love Mayweather so a victory over him would make you a P4P star!

Don't get me wrong, I think Mayweather is more skillfull than both of our fighters, but Hatton's pressure and strength would take it's toll and he'd stop Mayweather late.

Cotto's power would be too much for the smaller Mayweather, and Cotto too would wear Mayweather down to a stoppage late.

As a Hatton fan, I think Cotto's gonna be the one more likely to get the Mayweather fight because they're both HBO fighters.

Either way, a fight between the divisions best (Hatton/Cotto) has all the makings of a classic... Both young, strong, hungry, and unbeaten! Whoa!!!

SHOWTIME no longer does exclusive deals with fighters, Tszyu and Tyson still have a few fights remaining on theirs, but SHO doesn't do this any longer, so Hatton is free to fight on HBO, which could mean HATTON-MAYWEATHER IN THE FALL!!!!!

That's good to know...

hmm

He beat the best pound for pound fighter in the world fair and square. Boo ****ing hoo.

And later this year, Jeff Lacy is in for much of the same.

Tszyu was not the best p4p fighter in the world (at least not to Ring and the general public) so that's a bit over the top, but yes, it was a very awesome victory that places Hatton as the first Brit in a while top 10 p4p.

However my friend, Jeff Lacy is a strong young buck (like Hatton) whereas Calzaghe is the old pro who will be favored to win (like Tszyu was). Joe Zoggy will lose, bank on it.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

Cotto has not shown he is in Mayweather's league...talk about jumping the gun. Fine if you think he will win, but that's not based on anything solid. Mayweather has every skill to beat Cotto. Hell, Cotto was sure Mayweather would lose to Bruseles because his buddy Bruseles fights like him. Cotto would lose to Hatton and Mayweather rught now. He hasn't proven anything that would enable the public to make him a favorite over either fighter.

I would say they were definitly more of a sky blue, not just blue.
