You know they say that nothing is impossible, sorry mate but with the Cotto i have seen against Judah, Hatton doesnt have too many chances. I will give mine for Cotto, by KO, hmmm i dont think its gonna be a body shot, or maybe it will. Cottos body shots are stronger than Ricky's.
147 Cotto would finish Hatton early. 140 Cotto would still win because the Hatton ive seen of late isnt as devasting as Cotto is.
It's called being a fanboi You see it after any fan favorite fighter has a win. It's like that old SNL sketch with the Chicago Bears fans. "Who would win with The Bears vs God?"; "Is Ditka coaching?"; "Yeah"; "Definitely da' Bears"
Think Cotto would win this one too but not as easily as some of you seem to think. Be a good fight though - plenty of action.
the posted archie moore has never stepped in the ring, he doesn't know **** about being hit while dehydrated. you say it doesn't matter how he lost but the way he came back as a great champ, but didn't miguel cotto also come back after getting rocked, or did he quit on his stool? you guys bring out hattons record as an excuse, from the 43 people he beat the only names mentioning are tszyu and castillo, who are all the other guys???
cotto can never make 140 again no matter what anyone says, thats like asking mosley or de la hoya to go down to 140, cotto has some trouble making 147.
The problem maybe the shot that hatton took would ko Cotto, but Hatton dosen't have that kind of punch, and if Torres and Judah could not ko Cotto Ricky Hatton neither. Cotto by UD or late round stoppage.
they're not in the same weightclass. Hatton is 5'6" and a 140lb fighter. At 140 Hatton would have a good chance of beating Cotto or Mayweather or anyone for that matter. At 147 he is too small and looses his strength advantage which is essential for his style
I love it. Hatton would get KO'd by Cotto. Other than the Collazo fight when he nearly (but didn't) go down in the final round of a gruelling 12 round fight (his first at the bigger weight), when has Hatton ever looked like being KO'd. I have seen the majority of Hatton's fights and to say that he'd get KO'd is simply disrespectful. He has a granite chin and knows how to survive when in trouble a la Collazo. He walked through the biggest right hand the light-welter division had seen for some time (in Kostya) and made a man at the top of the p4p rankings quit on his stool. The fact that some of you dont like Hatton's style clouds over the fact he is excellent with it and a supremely talented boxer. Hatton and Cotto's height and reach are pretty similar and the fight could be made at either weight. It would be very close either way but please dont insult peoples intelligence by predicting a KO for Cotto, there is simply no evidence to back that up. Moreover Cotto has clearly been hurt in several fights and bearing in mind Hatton became the first person to KO Castillo in 60+ fights (when allegedly Castillo's power would be too much for Hatton???) surely it would make more sense that Hatton would be carrying more of a threat of a KO when on his A game. And Hatton having a bad KO ratio of elite fighters????? Floyd Pretty Boy 38 wins 24 coming by way of KO Ronald Winky Wright 51 wins 25 coming by way of KO Joe Calzaghe 43 wins 32 coming by of KO Manny Pac Man Pacquiao 44 wins 35 coming by way of KO Sugar Shane 44 wins 37 by way of KO Juan Diaz 32 wins 16 by way of KO Jean Marc Mormeck 33 wins 22 by way of KO Miguel Cotto 30 wins 25 by KO Ricky Hatton 43 wins 31 by KO Relatively speaking it doesn't look too bad, only need to look at the No 1 and 2 p4p'ers. Considering Hatton is a more noted body puncher than head KO specialist I think 31 out of 43 is quite decent to be honest. Doesn't seem that bad a record to me??
