    See this is what is scary.

    There are people on the board who actually think Hatton is the better, more accomplished fighter.

    wow. Twilight zone.

      I've got nothing against Castillo, he's an excellent fighter for me and in my eyes deserved the decision against an injured Mayweather.

      But Ricky Hatton is on another planet as far as I'm concerned, and this is coming from the only guy on the forum who has been ringside at Hatton amateur fights so I think I'm best qualified to judge. I don't think many here at all have ever seen any Hatton fight outside of his last two fights, that's why this poll is laughable.

          He said better and more accomplished. I disagree with both. Better is certainly a matter of opinion, of which I gave mine. I didn't bother to argue the "more accomplished" part because I just didn't think it was necessary. I don't regard Cotto's WBO title as being superior to the legitimate, linear IBF title that Hatton won from the last undisputed champion, making him the legitimate champion of the world. Cotto is an alphabet soup titlist who has been dropped and had serious spaghetti legs in 2 of his last 3 fights, against solid but not championship level opposition...nowhere near the level of a Kostya Tszyu.

          You obviously think Cotto is better and more accomplished. It doesn't surprise me at all.

            Like i said many times.. Hatton beat a Tszyu that was on the longest layoff he has ever had! Cotto on the other hand with 25 fights so far has fought better fighters than hatton has if you wanna put it that way. If Hatton did'nt have tszyu on his resume what would you say about that?? (Don't come with that ****** response saying but hatton does have tszyu on his resume) Im saying what if?? And we all know Cotto is not alphabet soup titlist.... every fighter gets rocked. and also like i said before that fight will make Cotto stronger! Hatton on the other hand has fought 39 bums! and has one legitamite victory on his resume!

              As for Miguel Cotto I am reminded of what Herb Goldman once said,
              "You can have all the talent in the world, great boxing ability, knockout power, speed, a perfect jab, superb combinations, but if you get hit on the chin all of those wonderful assets go right out the window."

                You're saying "what if?" and I'm telling you my opinion based on what has actually happened. Not fantasy scenarios.

                Cotto won his WBO title by beating Pinto. If that's not an alphabet title then I don't know what is. I just don't rate being a WBO titlist as being a greater accomplishment than the legitimate championship of the world.

                I'm not saying Cotto is garbage. He's a dangerous fighter who has shown he has a lot of toughness and recuperative powers. And I love the way he goes to the body. I just don't think from the trouble he's had with the mid-level fighters that he will be able to beat Hatton, Mayweather, etc.

                And by the way, you're simply incorrect about that being Kostya's longest layoff. He was off longer before the Mitchell fight- where he came out and destroyed. So think up another excuse.
