    I will say that Cotto and Hatton are arguably the best two body punchers in boxing today...

    We have to admit that both are extremelly effective with their body work....

    Cotto: Is a deliverate and very accurate body puncher that achieves result with pin point body shots, with extreme power....Cotto sacrifice volume for accuracy and who can argue with his result...

    Hatton: totally different approach, relentless pressure and volume of punches sacrificing accuracy for volume....

    They both achieve incredible leverage on their punches but Cotto's superior balance IMO has more leverage on his body punches....

    The question is who is the better body puncher....

    i'd have to say Cotto. he throws more bodypunches in combination, with more accuracy and a lot more power.

    Yeah Cotto is way better, He hurts Welterweights... Hatton only hurts junior welterweights.

    Why even compare?

    So you can try to point out Floyd is afraid of Cottos bodyattack?

    Hatton has one big knockout over a guy that was fighting for free and some over lauded training technique (extreme sigh) and he's one of the best body punches today???

    No, in fact if you rewatch the Mayweather fight you'll see despite the fact portions of 24/7 were used to cover he and Grahams "EXTENSIVE" (yawn) training session to the body, you'd think that at the bear minimum that would be an advantage of HIS in the fight.

    Well it wasn't, Mayweather had a much more sustained body attack in that fight and I'm bringing his name into the equation NOT becaues it was mentioned but more to invalidate Ricky's.

    If there was a thread on "WHO's the bEST HOLDER, HATTON vs. RUIZ", I'd be with you.

    That said, I think Cotto has a good body attack. I don't think it's great because I think he's very deliberate with it. But considering guys don't committ to the body nowadays, I'd say he's the best.

    The best I've ever seen though is none other than

    "THE BODY SNATCHER" Mike McCallum..

    cotto, hands down.. Cotto calculates his body punches and throws them with precision and power while Hatton just throws it out there without much thought.

    PBF is a very good body puncher, he is an great well roudned boxers, that's why...but body attack as a way of KO or TKO tool...Hatton and Cotto both depend of this attack.

    I will disagree with you on your view that Cotto is NOT a good body puncher becuase he so deliberate..as I mentioned on the originalpost, I mentioned excatly this fact, but in a positive way, becuase he base his attack on acurate body punches that clearly hurt his opponent and break them down...that is a fact..he is deliberate and accurate..while Hatton is high volume...

    Cotto leverage is second to none on todays boxers, any boxer in the last 20 years that I can are good as Cotto on leverage are JCC, and Arguello, two masters of leverage

    Why would you even make the post Orishman?

    Anyone with a brain knows Cottos body attack is WAY better then Hattons.


    Why would you do it?

    To try to twist something on how Cottos body attack is so much better then Hattons that hes going to eat Floyd alive. And how Hattons body attacked worked a little bit, that means Cottos will work great.


    You are a fool.
