    in Hatton/Floyd and Margo/Cotto. both were/are underdogs. I thought Hatton didnt have a chance against Mayweather but suprisingly a lot of people predicted hatton to win. now with Cotto/Margo all of my friends are picking Cotto to win big while I think there's a real good chance that margo will pull an upset.

    Margo... Hatton had little chance IMO. much of his style was tailor made for Floyd Mayweather while Margo on the other hand has just the kind of style that could give Cotto problems, so an upset there would be no surprise to me.

    Ridiculous. Floyd beats Ricky ten times out of ten, no question asked.


    I'm fairly confident in picking Cotto, but he wouldn't win ten times out of ten. Maybe seven.

    Absolutely no contest. Hatton never was and never is going to beat Mayweather. Margorito and Cotto is a fantastic and very even match-up. I actually am leaning toward Margorito and personally wouldn't call him winning an upset at all.

    Margarito has an excellent chance of beating Cotto, even with Cotto's judges and referee.

    The question is flawed for the obvious reason that one fight materialized the other hasn't yet.

    Roll back to a couple of weeks before Hatton took on Mayweather, posters here were either going "are you kidding me?" or "you'll see, Hatton will knock him cold". Back then the result of the poll would have been quite different.

    Both had very little chance but Margo because PBF was an obvious winner.

    Margo. Hatton had no chance. I would have bet on Collazo if they had had a rematch. Hatto should stay south of 147. He wouldnt even be able to get a belt there.

    Too many people are makig it seem like this fight is not even worth taking place. This is a great tough fight for both fighters.

    I backed Hatton, based on Hatton's performance against Castillo and the fact that Floyd hadn't looked all that great in his last couple of fights.

    Gotta give Floyd his dues though :deal

    I think the better poll would be:

    Margo upsetting Cotto

    or

    Cotto upsetting Mayweather

    I think Margo has a better chance of winning since the Hatton/Mayweather fight has already taken place and Ricky was destroyed.
