Suffice to say he had a long apprenticeship and Sports Networks 'robust' approach to negotiation meant a lot of the more meaningful fights fell through (including Pinto for the WBO strap...a fight most Hatton fans weren't that excited about when the likes of Tszyu, Mitchell and Gatti were still lording it at 140)

1 question,who should Cotto have fought then?
Well if your argument is going to be 'who else was there?' - he didn't have to 'make do' at 140. He could of stepped up to 147 a lot sooner. It's no secret he's struggled with the weight for some time.

So in answer to your question: How about Cintron, pre Margarito, could of been an interesting fight...


O...........fair enough,at least you are honest enough to say you won't defence Hatton's record,kudos to you unlike the hardcore Hatton nut huggers I guess?


Interesting you mentioned that because guess what Arum has lined up for Cotto

Mandatory-Urkal

Puerto Rican Parade day-KERMIT CINTRON UNIFICATION

late 07-IF he still has his belt-ANTONIO TONY MARGARITO!!!

I'm guessing you rate Cintron?

To answer your other Q,I guess it's a prmotional team thing too,may be they did not want him to move up too soon,may be Cotto realised how much of a struggle it was to make 140 towards the end and did not want to be like Castillo and Corrales ie not making weight? It could have been a number o f reasons,all I know is,at 140,he fought some good fighters,and I don't very many other great fights he could have made there?
