    Mosley and clottey were welterweight Oliver McCall’s though, and cotto wasn’t totally out of his depth, think he actually won a couple of the early rounds? Again, those 3 guys would have beat the shit out of baton at that point as well.
    I meant the "best possible Hatton" could have done better than getting shot dead inside 6 minutes, however, even the "best possible Hatton" might have been annihilated as he was stupid enough to try to win.

    The other guys stopped fighting after six minutes for fear of being Hatton'd.

    A prime Hatton-Cotto fight at 140 would have been interesting. They were all too big for him from 147 though, yeah.

    Mosley shut it down, and it was apparent to everyone who watched the fight. It's reminiscent of his bewildering shutdown against Floyd, after having hurt him with a huge right hand early in the fight. Clottey was a defense-first, durable tough fighter whose calling card was having never lost by knockout. But Cotto fought hard and held his own for a couple of rounds, only to get staggered early, and eventually getting knocked out late in the fight. I don't remember Cotto shutting it down. I do remember though, just as Hatton's corner gets blamed for its prep against Pacquiao, Cotto had no business whatsoever having Joe Santiago as his trainer for one of the biggest fights of his career.

    And yes.... prime Cotto vs. Hatton at 140 would've been interesting.

    I really wanted Hatton to win that and it broke my heart to see him so outclassed. He looked bewildered and lost between rounds not even knowing who to listen to which says a lot about the preparation. He came out bravely in round 2 but it was kamikaze against a fighter so much faster.

    Hatton was his own worst enemy between fights and I think it told badly against Manny. His chin was not as resiliant and he was stiff and also not as boxing smart as he used to be. It led to a performance that even today I struggle to sit through. Pure devastation.

    It was all wrong and Manny turned out to be not a smaller man whence him able to go to WW and stay there and permanently damage other fighters.

    Pac was at his best and Hatton wasfighting his demons and recovering from a KO. Even against Lazcano (?) he looked on shaky legs a couple of times and a fight with Paulie doesn't show you can still take a punch.

    Hatton was obsessed with the pound for pound title..he lost to Mayweather and mentally collapsed.

    He wouldn’t have beaten Pac anyway at any stage of his career..he loved to drink and gain weight and just wasn’t disciplined enough.

    When was the last time anybody saw Manny or Floyd fat like Morales or Hatton? Yes, definitely a difference in application and attitude.

    Ahh, the irony of some saying the training doesn’t matter

    Why was Pac able to blast Hatton?

    Ricky was older, slower, and his body had yo-yoed up and down in weight too much. Plus Manny Pacquiao may have been a guy who juiced....not saying he absolutely did, but there are questions about him just like there are questions about Juan Manuel Marquez.
