I think Hatton is underrated a bit as a boxer. He isn't easy work for anybody. Nobody. Not even Floyd. It's not like he's some mindless brawler, he was in and out beautifully against Urango and with better conditioning that would have been a fight that proved a lot. And I do believe his conditioning will improve.

He may not have the advantages over Cotto but Cotto has never had anyone come at him like Hatton would and Cotto has frail hands. And Hatton is a fast enough fighter to keep Cotto on the inside, and on the inside Hatton is a very good fighter.

I think to many people, Americans especially, underestimate Hatton. He is at 140 and staying there just because some fighters styles/size don't let them switch weight divisions and be successful. Hatton is just to short to compete at 147 among other things. Nothing wrong with that. He didn't run from 147 SweetPea, he never wanted to be there HBO forced it. He's a natural 140 lb fighter and there is no reason for him to stray from that weight. The only chance he has against Cotto and Floyd is if they come down to at least a catchweight.

Hatton just can't be successful at 147 imo, his physical build and skillset won't allow it. But 140 he can be GREAT in imo, regardless of how many big fights come his way.
