MIGUEL COTTO the story so far...

[SigmaMu]

Cotto Would NOT Beat Hatton.....

No one would at 140 not even Flloyd

Spouting off random arguments/statements with no basis on fact whatsoever...and neither Cotto nor PBF are at 140.

Floyd would out box Ricky Hatton and Cotto would eventually adapt to Rickys constant jump in and grab you technique and eventually Ricky would get dropped. You think Ricky's face looked bad after the Collazo fight? Lol Cotto would turn Ricky into the elephant man. Both of these fighters would beat Hatton because they have more skills and they have more brains. Floyd would cry again and again to ref about Ricky's holding. Cotto would eventually keep hitting Ricky below the belt and put Ricky in check for doing so much grabbing.

Cotto really doesnt strike me as being a skilled fighter. He seems to make his fights more difficult than what they are on paper...

Hatton would beat him concisively....PBF is a different story...

There were people on the net on another forum, saying Cotto was slow, he had no skills, he was one dimensional and that he would be exposed by Paulette Malignaggi. I found out later that most of these were white or Italian people who had never followed Miguel's Career at all. They were all just saying the same things over and over again. I was like WTF are these people smoking? The only thing I could not argue was that maybe, just maybe Cotto has looked a little chinny but that has not stopped him from brawling. The early Cotto was slick, with a turtle shell defense who would go to the body like nobody elses business and did a great job of cutting off the ring. He has changed a lot since then and I have seen him do a lot of different things since he turned pro. He has a lot of gears. I like the early Cotto who would not allow himself to get hit so much. His corner tells him to do one thing and he ends up just going out there and doing what he feels like doing. This might come back to haunt him? I don't know. I think that is what Evangelista Cotto is there for right. I think we will see a the old Cotto again once the opposition get's better. I will give credit to Ricky for stopping an old Kostya Tszyu, we can't take that away from him. The Collazo fight was a tough challenge for Ricky and he should move back down and duck Cotto as Cotto is rumored to move up. Collazo does not have near as much pop in his pep as Cotto does. At 140 it would be a tougher fight for Cotto. @ 147 it would be a tougher fight for Ricky. I still put my money on Cotto based on what I have seen both fighters do in the ring.
