Cotto is not a crushing puncher. He's a good puncher. He didn't crush Oktay Urkal, he didn't really crush Zab Judah.....zab basically after a few rounds didn't want to know....that's the impression i got as i was watching. Laways felt like it was just a matter of time before zab crumbled. IMO hatton has every much a chance of hurting Cotto as vice versa. Cotto's chin looks far from solid....rocked quite astoundingly again.

Hatton got rocked because he took about 4 flush shots in a combination and what did he do? Came straight back to finish the round strongly (if your talking about the 12th which i presume you are).

It just seems that Cotto does what we all thought he would do, yet everyone is jumping on his dick. Man it annoys me how when he is in trouble he blatantly low blows......i lost count of how many times he did that against Torres and again the same against Zab. The back/body shots are annoying as well.....against Quintana!!! Did you guys see his back after the fight....covered in bruises. Against Zab he was landing with them shots again but that was more zabs fault for standing side on and then turning away almost.

You also have to bare in mind that Cotto has weighed 150ish ever since he was 11 so for the guy who said Cotto aint even as big as Collazo or Urango, think again.

I don't think at 147 Hatton has enough pop to hurt the naturally bigger guys so i'd only favour him at 140. However there is enough guys at 147 with enough pop to hurt Miguel Cotto.

By the way this aint a rant about Cotto....he's decent man but i think Judah was a carefully selected opponent and against a puncher who won't back down (margarito maybe) Cotto will be in deep water.
