    Erm.......

    Don't think so!

    I think Hatton is the highest P4P ranked brawler, whilst I would say probably the most highly ranked pressure fighter in terms of pressure, not only behind an active jab, but the grappling, shoving etc, giving the opponent a tough time!

    I saw a programme on Fight Network, Miguel Cotto: One on One - he was discussing various issues, and a possible fight with Ricky Hatton - 'It's gonna be a war' was his statement.

    I would like to see this one at a catchweight, possibly 143lbs, because at 140 or 147, there would only be one outcome either way.

    How did we get this far without anyone mentioning Isreal Vasquez? He's an honorable mention but I'd say hands down it's pacquiao

    I seen Cotto back up ... I never seen Juan Diaz or Kelly Pavlik back up ... I don't think that Cotto is a pressure fighter ... he's a boxer who can use aggression against his opponents, but I think Cotto is a boxer first - then a brawler.

    Well I don't think that a guy has to be a brawler to be considered a pressure fighter.

    I didn't say that ... but it doesn't matter ... everyone has their own perception of how Cotto is.

    So a pressure fighter is a guy who just goes forward? Sorry but that's not flying with me. Cotto can cause damage in so many ways and all you really need to see is his KO%. Going the distance with him is an accomplishment and no, Mosley did not beat him.

    His KO% will be his demise ... he can't knock everyone out ...
