Cotto vs. Hatton

[iron mike tyson]

1st time i saw cotto fight live against mallignaggi and i gotta say i wasnt impressed , and this is the guy thats gonna beat hatton? lol
cottos got power , hattons got power , hattons got granite where other ppl have got a chin and cotto has got a ****ing milk bottle.
no way would hatton let the fight be stopped on cuts. take the maussa fight he cut both eyes really bad very early on so he was careful getting insde and when hes inside letting the shots rain
cotto aint no southpaw and he aint no natural welterwieght so cotto will get ktfo

I think a fight between the two would be extremely entertaining, and would propel the winner up into the top earners in the lower weights.

I wouldn't be taking any bets on this fight though, because I think Hatton might come back with a blast. He's got such willpower that anyone who thinks this would be easy for Miguel is just a biased Cotto fan(there are a few around though!).

If I had to bet on it I'd take Cotto, but its really one to stay clear of with the money. Unlike Cotto-Malignaggi, which earnt me £30!

LOL Cotto is southpaw... I'll take all your points if the fight ever happens. Cotto by TKO.

Cotto totally dominated Maussa. Cotto was also rocked twice in his career, and put on the canvas once. One of the two times he was rocked was by a legitmate big puncher in Torres the other by Corley. Cotto went on to TKO and KO both of them.

Hatton struggled with Maussa. Hatton was also rocked twice and downed once. Both of the guys that rocked Hatton are not considered big punchers. Collazo is actually considered a light puncher. How does that equate to Hatton having a granite chin . In both these fights Hatton won by decision.

I'm not trying to hate on Hatton but you gotta use the same criteria for both fighters. With that said I think the Hatton vs Cotto fight would be entertaining and competitive.

Hatton hasn't been rocked twice. He went down off balance against magee - got up instantly and took a standing 8. Thats like saying PBF was rocked against Judah.

Collazo did rock him though. That must have been worrying for Hatton fans, but Cotto has got questionable whiskers himself.

hatton would eat cotto alive at 140.

I actually saw a tape of the Magee fight and think he was hurt by that punch. Look at him throughout the rest of the round. He didn't return back to regular "Hatton" form till the next round.

At 147lbs I think Cotto can take Hattons punch better than Hatton can take Cotto's. However its already been noted that Hatton and his handlers are reluctant about Cotto at 147lbs, although they appear a bit enthusiastic with a drained and weakend Cotto at 140lbs.

you forgot to mention cotto won on cuts against Maussa were as hatton knocked him the **** out

If and when Cotto defeats Paulie, who do you think he should fight next? I personally would love to see Cotto vs Hatton.

that would be a great fight...but Hatton would over power cotto with those body shot of his....
