Prime Hatton v Prime Cotto at 140lbs - Who you got?

[paulf]

A damn fine fight! I'd have to go with Cotto by late KO. Hatton was great, but Cotto was an absolute beast at 140.

[love me]

hatton will eat jabs all through out the fight and gets exhausted in the 12th.

Prime Cotto didnt fight @ 140, but Cotto @ 140 still wins due to the fact he is the more athletic fighter tho I think it would be one helluv a fight, I'd think Cotto KO/TKO's Hatton in 10 rounds or less.

Regardless of whether it was his best weight or not,Cotto was in a different class to Hatton.Far more technically sound,and much too varied an arsenal for the one-dimensional and limited Hatton to deal with.


Hatton was always sorely reliant upon him being bigger and stroger than his opponent for him to impose his will upon them.In Cotto,he's dealing with somebody who was even more physically imposing at the weight than he was.

For some one who would beat a prime Ricky Hatton easily, Miguel Cotto sure didn't make his wins over Corley and Torres look easy. Prime Ricky Hatton was a whole different beast than Corley and Torres.

I got Ricky Hatton by TKO.

Sorry, I doubt Cotto could have hurt Hatton with the way Hatton took those brutal punches form Tszyu and just kept coming. And if the fight was in England where Hatton could wrestle Cotto down as much as he wants, forget it, Cotto is not a clincher and is very uncomfortable fighting inside.

I would have loved to see this war right here..As much as I wanna say Hatton I would have to say I think Cotto win's this fight..But I would have been rooting for Hatton tbh..
