Cotto or Hatton

Cotto.

 

Hatton. Both fights have one great fighter on their resume, Tszyu and Mosley, but Hatton was the undisputed champ at 140. Cotto was a titleholder at two weights, but was never the man, and that has to count for something.

 

Both great fighters but I gave it to Cotto

 

Quick-Draw McKeyboard, they call me.

 

They both had great careers. I think Cotto's is a bit more accomplished. Hatton can hold his head high. His legacy is solid.

 

Hatton easily if you are talking money earned but Cotto has a better highlight reel and legacy even at this stage.

I always favour legacy over earnings every single time.

 

both 2 weight world champions - however hatton was the king of 140, cotto was never king of a division and hatton had the opportunity to fight for the p4p title twice - so hatton has had the better career and will be remembered more than cotto, even though cotto is better

cotto becoming a 3 weight champ by beating foreman may narrow the gap somewhat though

 

I guess career-wise, they're fairly even. They fought most of the same fighters with similar success. But if you asked me who I would pick as my fighter if he went up against a truly elite opponent, I'd go with Cotto, without a doubt.

When you peruse their records, you really see how far beyond everyone else Pacquiao and Mayweather are.

 

cotto by a mile,hatton is so over rated

 

This.

 

Cotto's got a much better resume than Hatton. Clottey, Mosley, Judah, Quintana, Malignaggi, Branco, Torres, Corley, Bailey, N'dou. Those are all names.

Who does Hatton have? Malignaggi, an old Lazcano, an old Castillo, a clinchfest with Urango, a life-and-death with Collazo (maybe that's an exaggeration), big win over Tszyu, Vince Phillips sort of?

Plus matched up in their primes at 140, I think Cotto would have dominated Hatton.

Don't get me wrong, I like Ricky a lot, but this is just how I feel.

 

Hatton by a mile, Cottoe has been one of the most vastly overrated fighters in recent histroy.
