    Cotto is a true WW. He has better offense, defense and strenght than Hatton. Hatton was in the fight with Mayw until the TKO (I had Mayw. by 2 points) so imagine what Cotto will do. Cotto is the only one with a chance to beat Floyd and maybe Williams due to his size and quickness..

    Because of his characteristics, I think Cotto would be an easier fight for Floyd.

    He doesn't have footspeed, he doesn't wrestle, and his chin isn't so good.

    I'd pick Hatton over Cotto, and I think that FLoyd would have less trouble handling Cotto than he did tonight.

    Mayweather just beat the most ruthles, hard and tenacious fighter in boxing today. If he can out-brawl and out-hustle Hatton, he can beat Cotto. Cotto has great strength and great powershots, but guess what, so does Hatton, and Floyd has proved he can cope with that.

    Exactly. IMO, Mayweather takes Cotto out EARLIER than he did Hatton.:yep

    If course he is not Hatton, he won't be holding so much, thus allowing Floyd to rip shots at Cottos chin almost at will, Cotto will loose even quicker

    Well you can't compare the two IMO simply because Hatton is not a Welterweight by an stretch of the imagination.

    Cotto is a much, much better Welterweight than Hatton.

    And Cotto's ability to cut the ring off is much greater than Hatton's.

    Hatton will never defeat Cotto. He has the perfect style, coming forward, to be Ko by Cotto in 5-6 rounds.

    Cotto will win to Mayweather something like 116-112 or by late KO.
