Cotto on the other hand likes to brawl as does Hatton, Cotto doesnt have the chin to take 1200 shots from Hatton and would get knocked out. And dont say Cotto could last with Hatton because he beat Torres, Hatton and Torres are noway near the same stylisticly nor chin.
I said Hatton wouldn't KO Collazo and it would be a CLOSE decision and everyone was looking past him as a sacrificial lamb. Now Im saying Hatton would look good and beat Cotto convinsivly via KO, by round 8.
Mayweather would UD Hatton.
how can you say Collazo(26-2-12ko's) has the same power as Cotto(27-0-22 ko's) Collazo may fight at a higher weight class but if someone is breaking peoples bones he hits preety hard, Collazo and Cotto are noway near the same stylisticly or power.
Collazo is a good puncher if you watch his fights, hes a slick Southpaw aswell meaning Hatton didnt see most of those punches coming. Not seeing a punch coming magnifies the damage of a blow. Plus when you take into factor the additional weight which also amplifies the damage that shows us Hatton has a hell of a chin and he WOULD see Cottos punches coming. A boxer will be the one to beat Hatton not a brawler. Thats why I say Mayweather would destroy Hatton but Hatton would destroy Cotto because lets be honest Cotto doesnt have a good chin. Cotto was rocked by Malignaggi who has 5 KOs and has been rocked in just about every other of his fights. Hatton has the ability to eat 5 punches just to deleiver one, Hatton can do this for 12 rounds and thats the reason he is so successful. Cotto CANT last 12 rounds because he has both a weak chin paired with Hattons good power and he has stanima issues. Hatton can box too but not well enough to go against Mayweather.
Hatton wins via KO over Cotto in a impressive manner.
Re: Who can beat Hatton at 140?
I will say Hatton is one of the best 140 pounders right now and he'd beat a lot of people just not these guys:
Miguel Cotto - he's young, he's strong, he's HUGE at 140
Floyd Mayweather Jr. - he's slick he's too fast, he's got power and very fast hands (Hatton's style would be good to go against PBF though so it wouldn't shock me if he wore Floyd down)
Other than that all you have are "close match ups" and some "if-y" style fights
Castillo would be tough for Ricky but not impossible
Diego is tough but he'd be beat
Ricardo Torres a good tough fighter
Junior Witter a quick fighter good boxer
But honestly I would favor Ricky vs all those dudes
Re: Who can beat Hatton at 140?
i think hatton can rule the 140 pound division for the rest of his career. i think corralis and castillo have their best days behind them. only if maywhether or cotto go back down to 140 will hatton be in trouble.
