That is exactly it brother. Hatton is a good fighter,a toughter...at 140. At 147,it's Cotto and(hopefully) Tony Margarito as the tough guys. They are the dangermen. Hatton is highest risk,lowest reward.Simple as. Why would you want to fight 2 big,strong,rugged,power punching WW like Cotto and Tony for less$$$ when you can fight the not as bad,not as tough but still a good fighter in Hatton for more$$$?

All I know is,whatever happens,Floyd HAS to fight the winner of WW tournament and the only place I disagree with you Titofan is that I think it is going to be Margarito. That would be ironic.
We'll be on opposite sides of the fence for THAT one, my friend. We both like and respect both fighters, and we agree it should be one HELL of a fight (Cotto-Margarito). Me, I'll be watching that fight (assuming Tony gets by Williams first) on the edge of my seat, like I used to watch all of Tito's fights.
