Cotto-Gatti or Cotto-Hatton may happen!!!
By Marc Abrams
According to the Atlantic City Press, Should Arturo Gatti defeat WBC Welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir on July 22, Gatti then would likely take on Miguel Cotto on December 2nd at Boradwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
In the event of a Gatti defeat or Gatti being unavailable for that that December 2 date, Cotto's promoter, Top Rank is reportedly very close to staging a fight with Cotto taking on WBA Welterweight champion Ricky Hatton on December 2nd in a bout that would also land at the Atlantic City Venue. An insider in Cotto`s camp stated: Forget Gatti a Hatton deal is 99% done.
Cotto-Gatti would be a treat but Cotto-Hatton would be an extravaganza
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
