I mean I like Hatton and all but his trouble doesn't come from being outslugged but being outboxed. Then again Collazo did seem to hurt him and I think if anyone was going to drop Hatton it would be Cotto.
And why is it that if someone has never been hurt in 40+ fights people just assume he has the heart and skill to deal with it. Cotto has tasted the canvas, and he always gets back up, he's had his heart tested and he has passed. In his 27 fights I think he has done more in proving himself than Ricky has done in his 40+ fights.
I like Hatton, I like the way he fights but like Calzaghe his level of opposition makes me worry and hesitate to pick him to beat other fighters.
