    Cotto destroys him at 147
    Not sure if Hatton can win at 140 either.

    cotto would be a bit weight drained at 140 weigh in

    but i still think cotto would weight about 160 on the fight night either at 140/147.

    any idea of what hatton weights on fight nights coming in at 140?

    Cotto would devastate, and smash Hatton at 147 in only 7 rounds.

    At 140 Cotto was drained aand not quite at his best. I still think Miguel wins but maybe by decision and not KO.

    Cotto 145 and up. I'm not so sure about 140 where he would be completely drained and Hatton may be able to take advantage of his frail body. As far as skill and tactical advantages they all go to Cotto who is superior to Hatton in just about every regard.

    HE definitely DOES have the stamina. Maybe his chin isn't quite as strong but he does have a strong chin.

    Ricky destroys Cotto at 40 and Cotto gets a UD or SD against Rick at 47.

    Hatton is good at 140, but not good at 147.

    Hatton is a lot better at 147 than a lot of people, including himself give him credit for.

    I'd like to see this fight happen, either at 140 or 147 - for me, Cotto was struggling to make 140 in part because of his training regime.... which doesn't look the toughest.....

    Either guy could KO or outbox the other, so that makes it intriguing for me.

    In what universe will Hatton ever "outbox" Cotto?
     
  14. Cotto can be broken.... Hatton has always said this

    I would have to say Cotto. Cotto has movement, speed, and power. I honestly don't think anyone can beat him in the 147 weightclass. Yes I do mean Margarito too
