Cotto's controlled aggression will work better than Hatton's swarming style, but he will end up like Castillo did in the 2nd fight. Completely outboxed and not being able to get his punches off quick enough, the only Welterweight out there that i can see beating Mayweather is Paul Williams, based on all the obvious things like, height, reach, workrate, plus he uses great angle's and he has some impressive skills. But overall as Mayweather fan im glad he beat Hatton in impressive fashion now i hope, the haters realize like they should of done from day 1 that Mayweather is one of the greats.
I agree completely dude. Hatton should have just went to the body at a controlled pace, though I know that is not his style. What happened to Ricky's body attack? It was non-existent. Cotto definitely has what it takes to present Floyd with the style that can beat him. But the way it looks, Foyd I am sure will come up with something to defeat Cotto.
