    :lol: I haven't. I just tell it like it is. Even Hatton admits he don't want none of a fighter like Margo. When the hatred on Hatton is high, I play devils advocate. That doesn't mean I wear Hatton tinted glasses. Hatton fights big fights but he isn't like a Pac or MAB or Morales who would do so fight after fight.

    I can't see Hatton fighting PAC and then going for an unnecessary risk like Cotto. I wonder who he will fight after. I bet he fights Holt-Bradley winner. Two belts v good beatable opponents. He'll fight them like he fought Maussa after Tszyu.

    When he loses to Pac. He`ll fight here at the O2 or Wembley in a swan song against some tin can and call it time. You mark my words.

    old enough to reconise a good british(english)boxer when i see one mate.
    my little post was aimed at the haters like your good self who have no respect.(it was a joke my little buttmuncher)
    i will have a wager with u or betty,anyone ,when and if the fight comes off,as i see this as a 50/50 fight.
    jennings caught cotto with a couple of shots,no offence to him,but jennings is not at hattons level,so if he can hit him,hatton can.
    all you lot are blinded by hatred:yepand can't give respect where respect is due.
    you are all now dismissing cottos beat at the hands of margo down to plaster of paris ffs.:patsch

    Hatton's fighting the p4p no1 next, ATG, future HOF, and currently the hottest property in boxing - after previously facing the Ring no1 rated contender in his division and before that moving up in weight to face the previous p4p no1 ATG and HOF -all in the States - and yet he still is getting **** on here for choice of opponents.

    Hatton didn't have to fight Floyd or Pac, and could have easily chose to stay and retired undefeated if he had wanted.

    Depends whether it's at 140 or 147. If it is at a catchweight then depends how they both look in their next fights.

    It ain't going to be at 140. You guys are insane. He hasn't made 140 for years and the last time he did he looked like he was about to keel over on the scales.

    Why you would want him to be fighting a living dead version of Cotto instead of a full healthy one that would get him credit I don't know.

    Well there we have it then, I suspect Cotto probably would win at 147 (though I will have to witness a comeback against a stronger opponent than Jennings), he is a filled out welterweight bruiser whilst Hatton is stronger at 140 and probably not big enough to mix with the top welters. I suspect Hatton would probably make the jump to welter again if Cotto could establish himself as top dog but there you go...

    would be crackin fight. short n explosive. sorry to say,i think cotto would prove to strong,to powerfull. Hatton would need to jump right on him, start fast with angles and powerful combinations. sicken him....**** me i've just changed my mind.
    If ricky wins pac fight, then its the logical fight. Think they been destined for superfight.
    For the record Hatton would of destroyed the weight drained shell of delahoya that pac beat.

    If its cotto's choice to fight hatton shouldn't it be cotto to come down in weight to make the fight happen? Hatton went up to 147 to fight PBF to get the fight
