If Hatton decided to use his hands to block punches instead of his chin, then I would say Ricky would have a decent chance of winning it. We all saw how Cotto dealt with a come forward fighter, he started well but in the end was broken down by Margarito's constant pressure. But then again he also took every shot Cotto had, and kept coming forward.. something which I think Hatton wouldn't be able to do at this stage of his career.

I think it would be a competitive fight going to a decision, which Cotto would win, but who knows.. he hasn't looked his old self since big tony beat him up, I guess we'll find out in november.
