It's debatable whether Hatton's legacy would be better if he stayed at JNR WW and fought guys like Paulie,Torres etc,unified the titles and stayed undefeated(because everyone would say he never took risks,who did he fights etc) but on the other hand,if he goes to 147 and loses,he loses his undefeated record and everyone would say he beat 2 old fighters etc.

There is no win win situation for Hatton. I'd say go to 147,risk fighting a big guy like Cotto. Even if he lost,as least he could go out with a bang and he would get HUGE props if he put up a great effort. Anyway,like he has said,with his style,he does not have long left so it would be impossible to get to 60-0 etc.


not really, for cotto-hatton wouldn't be as big a test for him because he wouldn't have to overcome that much in terms of disadvantages....ma yweather is far more dangerous than cotto in terms of exposing or embarrasing him..because he's never seen the likes of mayweather...

You're way off JonesJunior,Floyd at 147 and most likely 154,has been superb defensively but offensively,he is not as good as he used to be so the chances of him "embaressing" anyone are very very slim. He would potshot and win a ud,thats not embaressing. Whereas against Cotto,Hatton is more likely to get KTFO. Did Floyd embaress Zab,Baldo,Oscar? No.
