With Hatton's face first style, he goes face first in to the canvas without a turnbuckle to bounce off of.
i'd favor cotto now, but a few years back when they were both at 140, i would've picked hatton to win a decision.
Disagree, not an entertaining fight Cotto really Busts up Ricky in a very 1 sided afair after the first round. Ricky retires on the stool or just gets flatened about 6 rounds into.
Hatton looked far from fearsome in his two fights at welter. Cotto is bigger, and harder hitting than both Mayweather and Collazo. I don't see Hatton doing very well. This fight would have been very interesting at 140 3-4 years ago.
Cotto would've beaten him at 140 also. It woulda been similar to Cotto's fight with Abdulaev. Cotto is just better.
Quite possibly, but i wouldn't consider that a lock. The weight-drained Cotto could have a lot of problems against someone who brings the energy that Hatton does.
Mayweather broke Hatton in the 8th when he went to the body. Cotto will go there sooner and break him quicker.
So far it is 14-1 for Cotto in the poll:eeeek: Are you guys really that sure that Cotto beats Hatton?
Agreed ... This matchup actually shouldn't even be mentioned. Collazo almost put Hatton away ... Once Hatton tires , he starts throwing arm punches and starts getting caught a lot .. Hatton for his style , his lack of stamina in "close fights" will always put him at a disadvantage ... PBF basically finished what Collazo started ..
I always favored MIGUEL COTTO......but Miguel last 6months-1 year at 140..he was very weak...maybe at that time Hatton could've taken him.... but at 147...Cotto takes more punishment than Mayweather did vs. Hatton...but gives Ricky Hatton a career ending beating...
Makes Mayweather look bad.....Cotto dishing out alot more pain..and taking them out earlier...at least for Judah/Sosa.... not really that much for Corley....
I dont think if Cotto starches Hatton in 1 it makes Floyd look any worse.. Floyd could have KO'd him early but Floyd doesn't fight that way IMO he is more likely to get stopped earlier from Cotto
