    ....and while we're at it, Cotto vs. Hatton

    Cotto is known for being less durable at 140. But he was also much quicker there as well. And when he wanted, his defense was top notch. He handled Bailey's power, for example, as well as Abdullaev and ultimately, he withstood Torres's power as well.

    Anyway, I give Cotto a real shot in both of these fights. I think his strength in addition to his speed and defense would also be a factor.

    Cotto beats Hatton. Ricky was just too defensively inept, and not durable enough to wear Cotto down.

    99-00 Tszyu beats Cotto up IMO.

    Cotte was better than both and he beats both rather comfortably
