    2 amazing body punchers, both have the same come forward style with a lot of heart, both chins are about equal, who wins?

    No.

    And if Ricky even has a dream that he beat Miguel, he better wake up and apologize.

    He is too small to fight at 147, and I would prefer to see Ricky fight at 140.

    Anything is possible in boxing.....with that said I would give Cotto the slight nod in a tough fight that shows two warriors with hearts made of bull balls. Cotto would probably stop Hatton around the 8th round.

    Cotto by TKO...bigtime. At 140 it would ahve been closer but at 147, forget about it.

    I think its been proven Hatton isn't a welterweight. The two big body punchers could make for a good fight, as long as Joe Cortez isn't in charge breaking up the fight before any body punches can be thrown.

    They both come forward but make no mistake, they do not have the same come forward style. Hatton charges in, cotto patientlly works his way in.

    In answer to the threads original question. Cotto by KO

    Yes, he could, but it is unlikely!

    He has far more of a chance than he ever did agains Floyd because of styles.

    I would pick Cotto by UD though.
