Hatton didn't Impress

[whdempsey]

any of you Ricky Hatton fans know the name of the song that was played before his entrance?

Blue moon, buddy. It's Ricky's team's song.

"Cotto's the best inside fighter since Mike Tyson"---Emmanuel Steward



That says it all, Hatton brings his style, brawling up close, Cotto will demolish him.

[whdempsey]

I don't think that really says a whole lot. It's one guy's opinion. And how about Holyfield, who beat the hell out of Tyson on the inside. How about Toney, who beat the hell out of Holyfield on the inside. If Cotto tried to fight Hatton on the inside, he would humiliate himself. Frankly, I would hate to see that, and I don't think Cotto would be ****** enough to make that kinda mistake.

I dont know why everyone thought of Maussa as some kind of competition with cotto. Their different fighters, the result is an unfair comparison between the two. Even if there was a comparison to be made, Hatton put Maussa on his ass and kept him there, more than cotto did.
Personally, im under no illusions about hatton. He's a tough fighter with a good chin, good stamina and good strength but he's not invincible. I dont think cotto has the power to stop hattons forward march, and he would be broken down like so many other fighters have been. PBF is a totally different matter. Hatton would be picked off by fast hands and a massive range of shots, would probably be stopped inside 10 rounds.

I'm impressed. I disagree, but that's a really cogent thesis.

Cotto ****s himself under pressure. Abdulaev had him backing onto the ropes and curling up in a ball without even throwing any punches.

Steward also said Harris was the best LWW on the planet

he is frank hes just not had the chance to show it yet

Ricky impressed me with that haymaker he used to KTFO of mausa. Im not a hatton fan but that was a shot. I dont think Cotto would last with Hatton. I think the only person who could beat Hatton is Mayweather and even that will be a close fight.

Yeah, I wish people would stop ducking him
