FFS Floyd would whoop Cotto's a**. Would they be screaming at him to then go back donw to 140?

Floyd is something else mate. Phenomenal fighter. He pretty much looks unbeatable.
What elite Welterweight can Hatton beat ?? i don't see him beating. Margarito, Cotto, Mosley, Williams, and i said this even before the Mayweather fight.
Aww come on. Hatton would make a good fight against all four of those names mentioned. Just because he gets beat by the p4p top fighter in the world (who pretty much looks untouchable) then that doesn't mean he should go back down where he has an easier ride and more winnable fights. IMO Floyd beats the hell out of the four you mentioned.

As hatton has said its not about that for him. its all about fighting the top competition. If he wants to go down then fair enough. As he said himself he felt the difference in there aginst Floyd BUT in the same breath he can stay where he is and fight in the hottest division in boxing and MAYBE win a few fights (IMO he beats Mosely,Margarito and Paul Williams. Cotto...hhmmm).

He would get beaten by all of them, his most effective weight is Jr Welterweight and he can pretty much beat anyone at that weight, and there is plenty of good fights that can be made at Jr Welterweight he needs to move back down. And i said this even before Mayweather fight, Williams would beat Hatton into submission based on the ridiculous height advantage, Margarito is too big and strong for Hatton, so is Cotto, and Mosley still has the speed and power to beat Hatton. Hatton's team probably realize he can't beat any of the elite WW's so i expect him to move back down.

How in the world would Hatton beat 6 foot 1 Welterweight like Paul Williams ?? Hatton has looked only decent at WW and you think he would beat fighters like Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, Williams, who have proved there very effective at that weight class ??
