Why didn't Cotto fight Hatton at 140?

[turbotime]

Your post was worthy of it,just how your questioning of Trinidad as WW atg when 90% of the thread disagrees with you.

Most agreed he wasn't an ATG at 147.

Also, I'm not wrong about this either. Tzyu was #3 P4P when Hatton beat him. If you would like to engage in a discussion about it, feel free to give it ago. I'm here to talk boxing, not post childish emoticons when I have nothing else worth posting.

LOL. Didn't think so.

Hatton has some of the worst defense I have ever seen. Cotto KO's Hatton if they fought. Please people.

Cotto would have killed Hatton at 140. Would have been a good fight though.

Do you think that Mosley was pass his prime when he fought Mayweather?

That fight would have been a good one back than.

Cotto would have beat Hatton up

It would have been a great fight. I guess the timing just wasn't right.

First off, you haven't watched all of his fights prior unless you are in the Hatton camp because they aren't all obtainable.

Secondly, Hatton was cut in practically every fight prior to a world title as well. He had a phenomenal chin. I'm sure blowing up and losing weight in between fights destroyed his punch resistance.

You're right, I haven't watched EVERY SINGLE FIGHT. I might not have seen 5 fights of his professional career, maybe less... But why would you nit pick that?

And secondly... what point are you making in relation to what I said? Yeah he got cut a lot, but that's because he has a skin condition. And yeah I agree with that last statement.

People need to chill.

Everyone who is riding hard on Cotto here is forgetting one thing... Cotto got rocked on a regular basis at 140. I'm not saying he can't beat Hatton, but everyone likes to write Hatton off because he got knocked out by Manny.

We can only discuss how things look on "paper" cause the fight never materialized, saying that... you got one good boxer who got rocked at 140, against the Ring Magazine Lineal Champion at 140... if the fight was as 147, much different story. If it happened early in their careers, I favor Hatton, if it happened afterwards, I favor Cotto.
