Whilst I respect you as a mod,that is a dumbass statement:like I said earlier,he has beaten past champ,future champs,Olympians,guys who beat him in the amateurs,etc etc and now beat a world ranked WW who alot of peeps were picking to win.
I think it should be more help us if Hatton beats someone who is not over the hill(Tszyu,Tackie,Phillips) OR Hatton should man up,grow some balls and give Collazo a rematch like he said he would rather than run back to 140. ::**

Someone on a another thread suggested Margarito fans will now jump ship to camp Cotto. i really hope not because Cotto will hand it to Margarito if they ever meet, and they we can all say i told you so to those Margarito bummers!!
When does Cotto blow hot and cold? And being a big big fan of Margarito and Cotto,I can tell you now that Cotto would not HAND it to Margarito,it would be close. You did not see the best of Antonio Margarito last night and you asw the best of Cotto but do not judge how a fight between them would go after 1 night. Cotto is still open,Margarito has more power(he injured himself before last night's fight hence arm punches) and Margarito has astounding stamina.Cotto would have the body to aim at all night so it would be a close,great fight between the 2 best WW on the planet. Hopefully,together,they will KTFO EVERYONE else in the division!
I can support what you say El gamo but at the end of the day hatton didnt lose at 147 did he? he was unprepared and risks is what you have to take in boxing so you can be the best you possibley can. Carl froch look at him big risk taker every fight and its paying off! All of you people have just lost faith in ricky :(
Dude,I think you're lost,Hatton lost faith in himself when he had a close fight(which I personally thought he won by 1) BUT rather than give Collazo a rematch,prepare himself and show the all the doubters that they were wrong,he said he would give him a rematch,took the mans title and ranking and ran back to 140, thus PROVING that there was a lack of belief either on Hatton's part or his teams that he could survive at 147.
That scenario tells me he knows he could not take the heat at 147,and you say he was unprepared,may I remind you Collazo,as good as he is(still questionable how good he actually is) is one of the lighter hitteras at 147 and Hatton out on his feet,and Collazo was fighting guys with 1-1 records like a few fights before he fought Hatton!

Hatton is by no means similar to Quintana. Cotto is by no means similar to Callazo.
How can Cotto have a weak jaw? He took the shots of a guy with 26 kos in 27 fights,and was not even knocked down,was puched down,and against Corley,he was out on his feet but Corley also shook PBF,and Cotto said he believes the weight affected his punch resistance. He took Quintana's shots well....
At 140,it would be close,at 147,Cotto would win easily imo which is why I don't see Hatton coming back to 147 to fight Cotto.
