Hatton beats Cotto at 140 end of.
Hatton is suited to that weight and when Cotto came up against a relentless pressure fighter similar to Hatton he got knocked out.
The one-dimensional Antonio Margarito.

Hatton could not even go the distance with Mayweather power what is he going to do when Cotto hits him he does not have a chin like Margrito.
But in "Undefeated", Hatton was being hurt by FMJ even when he was not coming in. See round 8 as an example. Ricky was almost stopped in that round, and he was being beaten against the ropes....not coming in.

Floyd read him like a book right from the word go mate, he was at the stage of writing the whole ending right about then. Hatton was fooked.
I'll give you 140 it would be a huge advantage for Hatton. But to say that Hatton would beat Cotto because Margarito and him have similar styles, I would have to strongly disagree.
Cotto has boxing skills and would be peppering Hatton. Hatton has never been hit with the type of power Cotto has and it's not the other way around. Margarito cut the ring off of Cotto while Hatton comes forward then lunges in. Cotto would be able to keep Hatton at bay with his stiff jab. The lower the weight the more in favor it would be for Hatton but at a catchweight or 147, Cotto knocks him out in an exciting fight.
I'm not saying Hatton can't beat Cotto. I'm just matching them up and having a hard time seeing Hatton the winner.
I'd rather see Hatton-Margarito at a catchweight. Two ruthless fighters who never stop coming forward and throw devestating bombs! What a fight that would make. I actually think Hatton could possibly do better against Margarito than Cotto did, we saw Cotto testing his chin all night long but never his body. If Ricky goes back to his body shot style that was seemingly non existant against Paulie he would stand more of a chance.
Get it done.
I actually like that fight on styles too, it would be a spoiler match or a two fused bomb going off.
Mayweather can hit ok but added to it was Rickys one dimensional thinking that he was going to eventually catch him hard and Mayweather knew it as soon as the fight started and adjusted to the long haul, and he timed the night and Ricky and caught him coming towards him the whole time which wore him down until he was desperate and finished.
Margarritto couldnt do it like that I don't think. but like you say he definatley hits harder than Mayweather.
Still so did Tszyu and he took those all night long solid cause he knew that was going to be the deal all night long. Its a mode of fighting when your evenly matched to someone right from the start and that can form a war.
Ok, maybe at a catch too.![]()
