    You have to also admit that Cotto was much more comprehensively destroyed than Hatton was in their lone defeats..
    I think in fact with his inside skill and unparalleled footwork, Hatton would have done MUCH better than Cotto against Margarito, maybe even a u.d.

    Hatton looks to be focusing on the Pac fight, and Cotto's busy till late this year. Why should Hatton mention him at this time?

    Please, Hatton and his T rex like reach would be at a HUGE disadvantage. Cotto's as good a body puncher at Hatton is. But there was a reason Cotto didn't go to the body. Look at where Margarito keeps his elbows. Right there tucked away nice and tight to his sides when he's not punching.

    Yep, he would do better, in an imaginary kind of way, then you wake up and all of a sudden it sucks !! It's ok though, everybody has the right to dream, seriously.

    HELL no. Hatton's 2 fights @ 147 showed he's not even a top 5 WW.

    45%. But if he can excel under Floyd Sr, it goes up. I just don't like how he looked vs. Lazcano nor that Paulie M was able to hit him so much. If that left hook connected so much, Pac's straight left will be like taser guided. Hell, Pac hit Goldy with it almost anytime he wanted. I think Hatton's best days are behind him.
