Hatton is more of a swarmer than a power puncher. That fighting style is tailor made for fighters with power like Cotto or Castillo. He has a better chance against Cotto though since he has a suspect chin. But Castillo would be to much for him even though it would be an exciting fight.Comment

Nice slap-down on Cotto
Hopefully Arum will put his fighters in there with Hatton then.

Cotto has got a lot of power, I think he'd beat Hatton. Castillo was a big but not huge puncher at 135, and is unlikely to be as big a puncher at 140 IMO. A fight between Castillo and Hatton would be huge money and huge entertainment, plus it would be a close one to call.Originally posted by ejenkiHatton is more of a swarmer than a power puncher.

Both cut, both like it close, both get hit a lot. This would be a great fight!Comment

It's funny how he says that "he has the best thoroughbread in all the stables", LOL then stop making excuses for a P4P guy struggling with a good but not great fighter in Collazo. I can understand the close fight because of Collazzo's style, but not almost getting dropped in the last round. I doubt after the Collazo fight he feels he's the best.Comment
