[jazluvr]

cotto wins at 147

but at 140 the fight could go either way but i would favor cotto

^^I would too, however,
@47, Cotto ko's him, at @40, close...hard to tell. Ricky was good at lower weight. Very fast and great stamina. Pit that against Cotto's shortened length of stamina and Ricky stands a good chance.

ricky at 140 say 2006/2007 could also take almost anything, that tszau fella or however you spell it landed so many big blows but at 140 ricky was a beast, he was a good all round boxer at that level and had amazing stamina as you said but also a great chin

Hatton got beat up by Collazo and Mayweather at 147.


How about 2005 Hatton vs 2005 Cotto when they were both at 140. Not one coming up in weight to fight the other. Cotto beats him at 147 but at 140 Hatton kills Cotto.

Cotto at 147 and maybe Hatton at 140.

cotto brutalizes hatton and knocks him out

I never saw a difference in Hatton; when he moved up to 147. Just that he faught better opposition at WW and he couldn't control these much bigger men; which was a major part of his style. When I say that Hatton would have beat Cotto at 140, that's more due to Cotto struggling to make 140. Cotto at 140 could hardly take a punch, and no offense, but I saw nothing in Cotto that told me he could handle Hatton at 140. I think Hatton would be all over him and force a stoppage in the mid to late rounds. Now at 147 Cotto wins, no doubt about that. Cotto's conditioning/ ability to take a punch improved greatly as he moved up, his strength also improved.

At 147 Miguel would destroy Rickey. At 140 it would be a close fight but imo Cotto would beat him at that weight as well. I think people get out of hand when they say that Hatton simply beats Cotto at 140 because that was Hattons best weight. Yeah, at one point Miguel had some struggles making weight but even at 140 he was a good puncher and Hattons style really wouldn't benefit him well against Cotto. Hatton comes in, he gets hit by a stronger man. Hatton tries to box, he gets boxed by a better boxer. Hatton was a good fighter but I doubt he beats Miguel ever.
