While both would beat Hatton, I highly doubt that JMM could do it easier than Cotto. Firstly, while I don't agree with the "toughness" comment, you could make an argument for it. Secondly, Cotto is WAY bigger and WAY stronger than JMM. Not only does he know how to counter (which would be JMM's biggest tool), but he can box and fight as well. His best days may be as far back as pre-Marga-cheato, but to last 12 rounds (below your normal fighting weight) against a vicious p4p king, with an incompetent corner... that takes toughness AND skill.
Marquez is far tougher, he took all Mayweathers best shots and also he didnt get stopped by Manny Pacquiao, I think out of the Two that Hatton has a better chance at Cotto, the only thing that might favour Hatton with Marquez is Marquez might hit slightly lighter but I wouldnt say Hattonw ould be alot stronger and with Marquez's combination punching and Hatton catching punches with his face

Cotto fights slow
