      Cotto is ough, but i think he will suffer the fate as Cintron, when he faces a puncher, he has chin problems with light punchers. btu we will see.

              what light puncher has he had problems against, if youre talking about Torres, go check out his KO ratio.

                Cotto is definitely not staying at 140. If you looked at him during the fight with Malignaggi he looked like Castillo at his weight in...emaciated. He may experience problems with his chin at 147 although there is no evidence of this (Torres is a big puncher), but he would die continuing to try and make weight at 140. He should be managed carefully and take on a tough opponent but not too tough. I would target one of the up and comers at 147 like Williams or Quintana. Those fights are dangerous, but I think Cotto could win. Against Margarito he could go the way of Cintron and I don't think this is the right time for a fight against Floyd or Hatton. He could definitely go with a title fight against the winner of Baldomir-Gatti, but Hatton may be taking this opportunity.

                  Hatton vs Gatti would be explosive for boxing, FotY for sure. Both have good chins, good power, and with Gattis heart it would be that much better. I would love to see this fight, awesome style match up.
