Won't matter if they fight at 140 because by the time of the fight Cotto will be alot heavier. And besides Cotto has more punching power than Collazo and if that 12th round had been any longer Hatton would have been picking himself up off the canvas.
Hatton was in trouble for maybe ten seconds of that round after which he reasserted himself and went back to chasing Collazo round the ring. Collazo was clinching and running for most of the fight which is essentially what cost him the decision. To suggest that Hatton struggles with punchers is nonsense. Hatton struggles with southpaws because of the clash of styles and Collazo was effective while stepping backwards, and because Hatton wasn't adjusted to the higher weight his punches were less effective than usual but the way that people talk about the Collazo fight you would assume that Hatton has only had that one fight on his record.
I have seen quite a few Hatton fights and he won't be able to muscle Cotto around like he has done other opponents.
