Ricky Hatton

http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46786&page=31

ATTENTION! This thread made 2-15-2008, 2 months after Floyd KO'd Hatton. Yet, NO pre-excuses were made that Hatton was shot and his chin softened. 95% still picked Hatton by brutal KO!

In reality, a mismatch.

Will still be attractive though, even if it is a mismatch.

I'd pick Cotto but it's not as bad as what I once thought. Since watching the De La Hoya beat down I'd say Pac's boxing skills would allow him to compete and fair well against Cotto. Cotto is open to the left hand as demonstrated by Judah so Pac would be able to find openings. In the end Cotto would show Pac what it really means to fight at welter weight and fully use his size and strength advantages to prevail.

PC: Was coming down to 145 tougher than you thought it would be since you hadn’t weighed 145 or less since 2006?

MC: I felt really good at that weight. It wasn’t a problem for me.
