Not a chance. Hatton is an empty shell and Cotto would absolutely destroy him. Never going to happen.
I really hope Cotto retires. If he must/can, go down to 147 and fight Berto or someone like that. He put on his best performance since beating Shane Mosley just to compete with Mayweather for 12 rounds. But whatever he had left got taken out of him that night. He's 32, been in some great fights, and taken a lot of punishment - even in winning efforts against Torres, Judah, Mosley, and Clottey. The technical improvements from Steward and Diaz can only do so much when a small, short-armed pressure fighter/boxer is up and out of his natural weightclass. But I agree with Gaz, he's still got enough to clobber the near-shot Hatton who got stopped the other week.
Cotto would light Ricky up seriously. Trout was good last night, i think Cotto's past his best and TBH i do question his camp without Landman and going to Big Bear and then doing a few weeks back in Florida. Rather Odd but he's not so far gone that he'd let Hatton hang with him.
In their primes this is a very competitive matchup, hard to pick a winner. Cotto was managed much better at the top end of his career, given stylistically easy fights in between getting beaten up by the elite
