      I think Cotto is a more dangerous opponent than Floyd.

      Floyd is small at 140lbs and he can't hit very hard. If Ricky was able to walk through Kostya Tszyu's shots then he'll be able to walk through ANYTHING that Mayweather can throw at him. And then Ricky will hammer the body.

      Cotto hits very hard, you can see that from the way that the other fighters react when hit by him.

      I'd be a lot more nervous if Ricky was matched up with Cotto.

        Cotto would definetley be a tough fight 50-50 I think but would love to see it and he could win it.With Floyd you're right he's not a hard hitter but he won't be flat footed like Kosta, Floyd wouldn't be there to be hit,he'd use Rickys aggresiveness against him and probaly school him for 12 rounds,it's just a fight I can't see Hatton winning imo.

          Castillo, Corrales, Mayweather, Mayweather, Tszyu, Gatti and Cotto are all bigger fights than Harris. I'm really gald that chumps gonna get shut out like he shut Hatton out.

          The WBA's a good belt but why would anyone deal with Harris when there are 3 other champions who bring big money to the table.

          On the Gatti subject, i'd like to see Hatton vs Gatti in Manchester but i'd be happy with NJ, anywhere as long as they fight. It would be the most entertaining fight at 140.

            I think that there's a new champ, and all the contenders within one or two weight classes are wanting to say they'll fight him while he's hot.

            Likely, he'll fight Juan Urango or another IBF contender before he fights someone big. I think he wants a Manchester defense before he risks his belt against tougher competition...

            Mayweather, Gatti, Cotto - all HBO fighters. Don't know about all those guys getting togehter. Corrales makes more sense from a network standpoint; Harris would be a good unification opponent.

              Gatti wont beat Mayweather so there will probally be no Hatton/Gatti fight.

                    yup, if Gatti doesn't get past Mayweather, Hatton would look bad taking a fight versus him with all the other viable opponents who are available. Although it would probably make for one hell of a fight.

                      I would love to see this fight.
                      Gatti wins though, because he can brawl and box.
