    He was past his prime at that point. The Ward wars had taken whatever he had left.

    Like the topic states, PRIME Gatti vs PRIME Cotto. He would have taken a lot of punishment but would have put up a tough fight.

      Cotto stops him down the stretch. Great fight though.

      Another one I wish we could have seen would have been prime Cotto vs the Hatton that fought Tzsyu...that is a good fight too.

        Perfect. Couldn't say it any better.

        And it happens inside 5.

          If Gatti could last 5 rounds with DLH, I think he go longer with Cotto.

          Cotto puts a bad beating on Gatti but I think Gatti would have his moments.

            Gatti just wasn't a good fighter prime or not, Cotton would absolutely wreck him without any trouble.

              Cotto wins with ease.

                Prime Cotto destroys Gatti. Gatti was great to watch but he was no where near the level of any of the great fighters he stepped in the ring with. Oscar,Floyd etc... Cotto would have broken him down and stopped him.
