Cotto is deceptive. What do the majority of Cotto's opponents say after they have been beat by Cotto?
Here is what they say:
"He is faster and hits harder than I thought he did."

as a hatton fan I thought he had the beating of mayweather prior to the fight. hatton was more than holding his own and I agree that the referee last night was a disgrace. however in danger of sounding bitter I will say that the finishing punch from mayweather was sheer class and hatton did seem to be getting more desperate as the fight seemed to be slipping away in the 2nd half. as a briton Im proud of rickys performance last night. he certainly wasnt outclassed in my opinion and was well in the fight at the time of the stoppage. Im also proud of the class he showed after the fight too.

as for cotto its definiitely true what you say about him being faster than most people give him credit for. I tipped both judah and mosley to beat cotto because of this reason and hold my hands up over that. however he seems to be getting better and better and would probably be a handful at 154 too. hopefully cotto v mayweather can be made but time will tell. as for hatton I think he is still a force in the sport at 140 pounds. lets put it into perspective he moved up in weight to give the pound for pound best fighter a hell of a fight. the trouble for hatton though is that there are no big names at 140. they all seemed to have moved up in weight.
