It would be a shoot out at either weight in my opinion. I'd favour Hatton at 140 and Cotto at 147, but both fights can go either way. Hatton doesn't like it to the body, Cotto doesn't like being made to fight three minutes of every round. Both have strengths that they can use to exploit the other's weaknesses.
And Paulie Maginillia is? Seriously...Paulie ****ing staggered Cotto.. Hatton wasn't a great one punch hitter..but he wasn't bad...good enough to break Casteos ribs...and definitly hitting harder then Paulie (please don't come back with "but Paulie hit harder before he injured his hands" no he didn't hit harder..his lack of knockouts tells you that.
Its a proven fact that Hatton had no business up at ww, but at lww Hatton would edge Cotto. Ricky would outwork Cotto and hit him as hard as he was ever hit at 140.
140: Hatton would bully the weight-drained Miguel. Hatton UD of late TKO 147: Cotto sparks Hatton early with vicious body shots. Hatton is uncomfortable at this weight. Cotto TKO win over Hatton.
