Seriously, I dont see him going the distance with Cotto, this is being fair he might have some moments in there with Cotto but lemme tell you this Cotto does not allow you to grab him and hold him, it would be suicide for Ricky to dare and fight Cotto, there is no way he could win, not even against Floyd, the only two big names that Ricky has on his resume are against guys who the media stated prior to those fights as being shot, KT and Castillo, Collazo at 147 didnt have any power and he hurt Hatton IMHO he beat Ricky, this is against a fighter who cant punch his way through a wet paper bag, if he steps in there with MC its over. Hell FMJ would make him look like an amature seriously, if Hattons only style of winning is to throw a shot and clinch he isnt going to beat anybody who has good boxing skills and right now at 147 Mosley Cotto and Mayweather all have good boxing skills and would cut up ricky before the first half of the fight is over. Chances are Ricky might look good against the lesser skilled top WW such as Margarito but even in that fight I see Margarito knocking out Ricky. again why are people so hung up on Ricky? when his two big wins are over guys the media says is shot? being that the media is always right as FLoyd fans point out, then Ricky hasnt done nothing yet.
Yup, either way I dont think that style is going to help Ricky in these fights he needs to have some sort of plan B, He will never beat FMJ I am saying this right now that fight would look like Jones Ruiz all over again
Since when are the media always right? That's absolue bollocks and not worth me making a counter argument against. And despite the Castillo fight being one sided ni the end, the better was close than a lot of easy wins. Not many people thought Hatton would win easily, I'll tell you that. Read through some of the threads prior to the fight. The general consensus is that Hatton would win, but it'd be a very close fight. A fair few of the more experianced posters on here thought Castillo would nick it, even some in the classic forum. If Castillo was shot, that wouldn't be the case. And Tszyu was ranked #3 by The Ring. betting fabvourite by every bookmaker and the pick by all experts. Don't give me that bull**** about people knowing he was shot. It's ****ing wrong! Fair enough if you don't like Hatton, but coming out with biased **** like this post makes you seem incredibly bitter. Tszyu was shot and the media never lie? What the **** are you on?
The media is always right when a fan on the forum questions FMJ or any other fighter so why isnt the media right here?
The "shot" Tszyu that Hatton beat is better, by far, than anyone that Cotto's ever fought, and would beat Cotto head to head. How about that?
cotto will kick tszyu's ass worse than vince philip. who is tszyu's best win anyway??? sharmba mitchell zab judah??? been there done that.
Funny, it took Tszyu one punch to do to Zab what it took Cotto 11 rounds of sustained punishment to do You Cotto fans are hilarious, bagging on Hatton's competition when Cotto's best win came against someone Tszyu zapped with a single shot in all of two rounds
Styles make fights though. Ricky matched up very well to KT to beat him, and utilised a very effective game plan. Doesn't mean he would beat Cotto by any stretch. Totally different fighters. I think that Cotto would fight very smart against Hatton, would put on his boxing shoes, counter him on the way in, and keep his guard tight to prevent Hatton from tying him up. Still it would be a tough close fight either way.
why dont you ask zab in which fight he got hurt the most??? cotto's destruction or the one punch which made him dizzy? if vince phillip can do it so can tszyu, like i said before the best fighters tszyu beat were mitchell and judah, and cotto already beat one of them.
i agree with Bazooka. Hatton looked good against a smaller slower fight last night but it would be a whole different world against Cotto. Cotto by stoppage in the mid rounds.
