Who will fight who at 140?

[elveiel]

Cotto only truely tried to outmuscle 1 opponent thus far and that was Corley. I think that had to do with the fact that he wanted to impress his hometown crowd and had no respect for Corleys punching though. If he fought Tszyu I think he'd know what he was getting himself into and would use that well calculated body-to-head attack and his movement to wear down Tszyu.

But then again I'd favor Cotto over everyone because I'm a nuhugger.

I know he went over the top against Chop Chop but i seriously think he's slowing down abit, he looked bigger and slower against abd aswell, when he looks like that i dont see as much power.

I like him against Bailey, he's not much different, maybe he was just a bit lazy or i'm blind!!!

sorry, can we stop this "Mayweather is the man in the division" nonsense?

I wouldn't argue for a second that he has more latent potential at 140 than Hatton but the fact remains that Hatton IS the man at 140 for beating the guy who had the linear championship. Mayweather is a talent, but beating a shot Gatti is arguably less impressive than the Mouser striking the Vivian mouse with his heavy claws. Gatti will go down in history, but he's clearly past his prime... Harris was supposed to be on his, and has held a belt at the weight for longer. Saying Mayweather is the man at 140 because of his talent and his belt would be like saying Toney was the man at heavy when he took Ruiz's belt. Mayweather and Toney probably could be the men at their weights, but the fact remains that they're NOT.

So talk about "Ricky should fight for the right to box Mayweather"... besides, Mayweather's fan base is so small people would still be more curious to see Hatton.


Lastly... Hatton's trainer went on record last night as saying he wouldn't fight Mouser, simply because they couldn't make that a match people would want to pay to see. Mouser's actually worse than these "bums" Hatton was supposed to have been fighting...

Great post. I think Hatton would ruff up PBF. PBF will complain like a lil snitch. I dont think PBF would retaliate like KT. Not once in the entire fight did KT have a spazz attack about Hatton fighting Durrrty. If the fight is in England Hatton will win. If the fight is in NYC PBF will win.

Cotto - Needs a superbout
Mayweather - Beat Gatti, who wasnt a top fighter
Hatton - True Champion of divsion
Tyszu - Needs a comeback.

Think people will ingore Mayweather longer because of what he did to Gatti?

I think Mayweather should fight cotto so he can stop this hype about him before it gets to big and people start actually thinking hes that good.

I think that hatton should fight gatti. They both go to war and its not like hatton has the hand speed of mayweather. So who knows maybe we would all be talking about hatton and gatti like we do ward and gatti.

Gatti was champion you are right, but he was NOT one of the elite fighters in the division. Not taking anything away from floyd, he is great and it will be tough for anybody @ 140 to beat him but I think alot of people are acting like he just dominated an elite fighter.

^ Agreed 100%

At this point, no one touches Floyd at 140. If Hatton and Cotto fight, Cotto wins. Although Hatton is a pressure fighter, Cotto could easily neutralize Hatton's pressure.
