cotto is too big for hatton but in boxing anything can happen but its minimal chance of winning for him.
Only one thing to say... Cotto never has the reach advantage in the ring and he still manages to establish his jab in dominating fation. Imagine what he would do to a man with a shorter reach like Hatton. He would dominate Hatton easily. I'd say Hatton last 5 rds with Cotto... Hell, he wouldn't even dare 'to take the fight.
I'm shocked that anybody would take Hatton in this fight. Hatton relies on his strength advantages. He gets in close, mauls, grapples and wears guys down. Against Cotto, he would be facing somebody who is much stronger and has more fluidity with his punches in close. Cotto could basically brutalize Ricky any way he choses. He could outbox him and keep him at the end of his jab or pressure him, making Ricky fight off the backfoot, and wearing him down for a middle round TKO.
