    Hatton's a big puncher, it's just that Frank Warren ALWAYS matched him with the most durable-chinned fighter available so that the fans would get their money's worth. But Hatton has knocked out guys with single shots that were supposed to have granite jaws.

        If it doesn't happen it will be a ****ing tragedy.

        When I become dictator of the world I'm going to consolidate all of these ******ed boxing organizations into one global boxing organization with one world champion and one number one contender for each weight class. Then instead of having fights between the 2 best guys in a weight class once every m***** decade, we could have fights like that every few months...

          Cotto's no joke. Only reason why he was getting staggered was because he was trading on the inside. If he goes back to his normal counter-puncher self like we saw against Abdullaev the guys going to be a force to be reckoned with...believe me.

            i agree with about 90% of what you said... all except "only reason why he was getting staggered was because he was trading on the inside".

            i believe cotto is a legitimate contender and champion, but as we have seen in the torres fight, cotto has been overhyped and won by the skin of his teeth. cotto has good power, good tech and skill, and a ton o heart. but his chin is definatly weak or at the least, suspect. corley staggered him and torres almost KOd him with shots that didnt even land completely.

            cotto is overrated, but i know he can do better. all he needs to do is change his style to playing defense, counterpunching, and finishing strong. cotto's chin wont allow him to brawl, as shown in the torres fight.

            cotto's NOT a joke, but he IS overrated. but he CAN get better.

                Fair enough. But the reason Cotto is getting staggered is because he's getting hit with punches he's not able to see. IMO he got staggered by Corley (who is a decent puncher), because he was a southpaw, and southpaw vs. orthodox is always troubling because you can't see some of the punches. Even Roger Mayweather himself doesn't want Floyd fighting ANY southpaws. Cotto doesn't have a WEAK chin, but it still is suspect. He just needs to keep his guard up and counter-punch.

                I can't really explain why Cotto was getting hit with the right hands from Torres, but maybe he undertrained. I've never seen him get hit that easy.

                Point is, he's got tons of heart, and heart alone can win you a world title. Cotto obviously has good technique, I just think he's on the wrong direction with himself in terms of his style of fighting. I don't want him to be like Mosley (fell in love with his power).

                He's still young, and can improve.
