He would be advised to take Cotto but not Baldomir?

What do you base that on?? Baldomir would be beaton by Hatton, Hatton had trouble witht ehfast handed southpaw, Baldomir has nothing to hurt Ricky with, the shots Ricky was getting hit and hurt with were rangy fast combos and hooks, something Baldomir doesnt possess, he would beat Baldomir comfortably. Mayweather is the biggest danger, for me Ricky needs to work on getting on the inside at angles not in straight lines like he did against Collazo or he would be fucked up by Floyd, if i was Ricky id go for Cotto at 140 in the fall to shut all the haters up.
