They aren't worth a damn outside of Clottey[Clottey beat Cotto in my scorecard], and yes Hatton
and I can assure you i'm not the only that thinks that about Pacquiao's recent competition. I saw Hatton as better a match up for Pacquiao.
Ricky Hatton was the 140 pound Lineal champion at 140 pounds, and more people had Ricky Hatton beating Pacquiao than Cotto beating Pacquiao. He was coming off a dominating TKO win over Malignaggi, while Cotto was coming off a poor gift decision against Clottey in Cotto's second home New York. I personally thought Hatton was going to beat Pacquiao and was totally wrong. Pacquiao shut me up that night, but since then he has not fought any one who I thought had a good chance against him outside of Clottey, which I predicted was gonna go the distance. I had Cotto losing by TKO, and if Cotto had stand and fight and not run all night, he would have gotten stopped way quicker.
Yes, I saw Hatton and Clottey both as tougher fights than Cotto. Add the 145 catchweight and I gave Cotto no chance whatsoever, not even a milligram. Prime Hatton at 140 beats Cotto...There's no need to say who wins between Clottey and Cotto because IMO Clottey already beat Cotto. Just for the record i had Mosley-Cotto a Draw and so did a lot of other posters, some even had Mosley winning, Cotto faded in the last 4 rounds but since it was MSG, like in the Clottey fight, Cotto got the close fight to go his way.
