Hatton v Cotto@147-what do you think?

[killersheep]

You're kidding right? You're right I've only seen the fights on Hatton's website and the Collazo fight.
Are you honestly going to say Ricky did not hold and hit Tackie? Watch again.

Great little fight that

Tackie was probably Rickys best 'boxing' performance so I picked it from memory. Yeah, he's holding in some of the clips but getting tangled up and fighting on the inside is a side effect of never taking a step back...and lets be honest, he's not the only one is he?

Ok so, you can't think of a fight where Ricky didn't hold and hit, is that correct?

You've seen clips of Ricks fights so how can you possibly know wether or not he does in every fight?






I could watch them again just to prove the point but I doubt your or I are about to sit through all the fights just to get bragging rights

Anyway, I'm illustrating that Miguel beating Quintana proves nothing about Miguels ability to hang at 147 or his ability to beat Hatton at either weight. Beating Quintana tells us one thing...that he can beat Quintana. That's it.

I've only seen clips from like 8 or 9 of Ricky's fights, but I have yet to see one where he doesn't hold and hit, until someone shows me one that shows me the contrary, I won't change my mind.

And Miguel's ability to destroy a natural WW shows more than he can beat Quintana, it shows his skill set and power has not diminished on the move up. Hatton's move-up was not as impressive and until you see him fight someone else at WW (with adequate preperation of-course) I don't see how you could pick Hatton over Cotto at this point.
