    Club fighters don't sell out Vegas arenas 3000+ miles from their home and earn millions of dollars and capture lineal jrww championships genius.

    Hatton won more rounds than Marquez did against Mayweather and was actually in the fight halfway through. By then Marquez had been completely outclassed and dropped already.

    Haters gotta hate. Club fighter was a lineal champ chump.

        Cotto got rocked A LOT more at 140 than 147.
        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.

          If you're going to **** on Ricky Hatton, at least know what you're talking about.
          That's 100% true. Hatton won the battle with Tszyu, but he may have lost the war in retrospect. One thing is for sure, the Hatton that fought Tszyu would have given Floyd and Manny hell @ 140.

            Collazo, won atleast 8 rounds in that fight.

            Hatton was never great!

            Cotto was stronger, faster and more powerful, Hattons suppose pressure would be his undoing!! Cotto KHTFO
            Hatton lost to two of the best fighters in the world over the last 10-15 years. Cotto was stopped by one of those guys and a lesser fighter in Margarito. (albeit controvercially)

              So given the choice to face Tszyu or Cotto at the time, who would you pick?

              Surely, you don't question Hatton's balls or heart? Hatton ducked nobody.

                Tzyu was #3 P4P when he fought Hatton, and it was a 50/50 fight going in. It was still a close fight too, up until Tzyu retired on the stool. Very good win for Hatton.

                Bob was protecting Cotto and bringing him up slowly. Especially after what happened in the Torres and Corley fights, no way was he going to let him get in there with tough champions like Hatton and Mayweather.

                  You guys can't see past the Pacquiao loss aparently.


                  I had to laugh at this."Atg" lol as if Tszyu was the former Pacquiao of back in the day.


                  Past Pacquiao loss? More then half of Cotto fans on here respect Pacquiao.I,count me as one.No shame in Cotto losing to him.After all,he's a bigger ATG then Tszyu.

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