Hatton Cotto at catchweight 143/144??

[Althugz]

Boxing history is littered with champions who were able to deal with more than one weight division. If Hatton is so great why is it that he can't deal with it? Or is it just that there are so many more good fighters at welterweight than there are at junior welterweight.

I kinda agree with that...That was always something that bugged me about Hatton and Margarito. I do honestly think that their advantages are taken away at 147 (or 154 for Margo) because their advantages aren't boxing.

Hattons advantages are being a bully (although he showed some nice skills last night)
Margarito's advantage is being a freakish 5'11 with long limbs giving him stupid power for 147. At 154 he becomes similar to the other fighters.

Hatton vs Cotto would be a great fight. Not sure who'd take it. Before last night I would have said Cotto. However at 147, I predict an easy night for Cotto who wouldn't be weight drained.

If Cotto could make the weight without being totally spent he would be too much for Hatton.
