:roll: Completely worthless post. And just for the record Abdullaev was a prospect of equal experience same as Cotto was.
Back in his prime Hatton was leading with his face and shipping punishment eloquently from WBU calibre contenders.
I think this would have been a great fight. Either Hatton walks Cotto down or Cotto boxes to an early lead that Hatton can't overcome. By no means does either fighter shut the other one down.
hatton walks through him in a war he bulldoses him. cotto stands infront of the likes of clottey and although clottey is a truly odd fighter but he caught cotto with a few good body shots. Now take a drained cotto hatton walks him down uses good inside movement and angles and that massive left hook takes cottos heart and tko late rounds or random KO like the castillo fight. 147 cotto KO's hatton with ease his chin cand withstand heavy punchs at the higher weight and he'll punch harder than hatton too
with hattons relentless pressur and power he either stops him with the power or wares him down for a late stoppage
140 is hard to say because Cotto was getting weak trying to make that weight, it would be 50/50 IMO, at 147 Cotto murders Fatton though.
I think Hatton, we have seen Cotto can be broken, and when he's thrown his best and Hatton keeps walking him down, as he did in his prime, Cotto's heart would have gone and then he'd be taken down and quit, as he did against Margaritto
Cotto...he would have the strength and speed advantage...smarter boxer and he could mix it up with ricky too
