Seriously think that Cotto would break the Hitman in two 8)
Ricky would stand and fight and give him hell but Cotto would be far too strong imo and could even force the stoppage.

This fight would only happen at WW,and Hatton would get destroyed. At 147,Miguel is not killing himself to make weight and the effects of this are evident for all to see. Cotto tko 11. Hatton can't fight going backwards either so he would jsut stand there and trade,something which very very few can do with Miguel Cotto.
Do you really think Ricky would stand there and trade? Come on, Ricky is not just a come forward fighter who throws shots to the body, im not saying Ricky would win far from it, but if you think he would satnd toe to toe with Cotto you are mistaken.Quote:

At WW cotto would stop Hatton late..the only way i see Hatton having achance is if the fight happens at JWW. Personally, i dont think the fight will ever happen

All teh money and big fights are at 147, i mean the biggest fight at 140 is Hatton v Castillo and even that isnt box office. I think theres only one way for Hatton to go and thats up to 147 after Castillo, which makes the Cotto fight more realistic.
Cotto would stop Hatton if Hatton thought Urangos body shots were tough he is going to be in trouble against Cotto.
NO way in hell this fight ever happens lol, no freaking way will team hatton ever put ricky in the ring with Cotto...
Cotto will destroy him! he is a monster at WW, in fairness ricky would be well outsized, it isn't really a fair match up... but ha if this happened hatton would get absoutly batterd!
Agree i think Hatton would make it tough but overall Cottos too big he would give Hatton a pasting.Quote:

That's a much smaller difference than hatton has had against recent opposition.
But yeah I would be surprised if Hatton made it past the middle-rounds.
I've seen Hatton fight two ways and both involve him standing in front of the
other guy.
Yeah right. The last fight he compared himself to Willie Pep. ;D
Hatton would just do the old punch punch hold hug punch punch hold hug
Hatton got rocked by Luis Collazo in his only fight at 147. What chance would he have against a crushing puncher like Cotto at that weight?
Cotto is not a crushing puncher. He's a good puncher. He didn't crush Oktay Urkal, he didn't really crush Zab Judah.....zab basically after a few rounds didn't want to know....that's the impression i got as i was watching. Laways felt like it was just a matter of time before zab crumbled. IMO hatton has every much a chance of hurting Cotto as vice versa. Cotto's chin looks far from solid....rocked quite astoundingly again.Quote:

It just seems that Cotto does what we all thought he would do, yet everyone is jumping on his dick. Man it annoys me how when he is in trouble he blatantly low blows......i lost count of how many times he did that against Torres and again the same against Zab. The back/body shots are annoying as well.....against Quintana!!! Did you guys see his back after the fight....covered in bruises. Against Zab he was landing with them shots again but that was more zabs fault for standing side on and then turning away almost.
You also have to bare in mind that Cotto has weighed 150ish ever since he was 11 so for the guy who said Cotto aint even as big as Collazo or Urango, think again.
I don't think at 147 Hatton has enough pop to hurt the naturally bigger guys so i'd only favour him at 140. However there is enough guys at 147 with enough pop to hurt Miguel Cotto.
By the way this aint a rant about Cotto....he's decent man but i think Judah was a carefully selected opponent and against a puncher who won't back down (margarito maybe) Cotto will be in deep water.
