    We really don’t need to see a fight between Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather. It’s a bad match-up! Mayweather is too slick and too fast for a one dimensional Hatton. He’ll simply run all night and win a boring decision with Hatton chasing him around while getting hit with counter shots. The fight need to see is Hatton vs Cotto. Now that’s a fight. Both guys would stand toe to toe and hammer away at each other. Imagine the body punching in that one. That’s a fight that could end up being fight of the year. Not Hatton vs Mayweather.

    without a doubt cotto vs hatton would be a far more entertaining fight them mayweather/hatton.

    but only the floyd nutswingers would say that we just dont appreciate the sweet science and blah blah.

    cotto/hatton would be a war and alot of body punches but cotto hits way too hard for hatton to take it through the fight.

    I think Hatton has enough ring intelligence to make a good fight against the bigger Cotto. Hatton knows what he's capable of and does a great job applying all of what is capable within his abilities

    I think this would be the easier fight out there for Gayweather, i see how Margarito has been calling him out for a while now, and he wont fight him... So hell fight Hatton whose two divisions below him, yeah this is cherry picking at its finest. I dont wanna see this fight as of right now, i would like to see Gayweather fight Mosley, if not Cotto, if not Margarito first!

    Hatton-Cotto would sell better than any other welterweight fight and would be far more entertaining.

    I'd rather watch Cotto vs Hatton.

    No not really Hatton is the far bigger name ....and will still provide a lot of action.

    I think the promoters of both Hatton and Cotto don't want the fight at this stage of their careers. Hatton-Cotto is a 10-12 rounds brawl that both fighters will never be the same after. It will have the same effect on the fighters as did Castillo-Corrales.
