    Before you answer please dont come on here with the ridiculous..."Cotto will destroy ..... blah blah or vice versa"......!!!
    This is the fight that i would love to see now as a Hatton fan...........but I do think Malignaggi will be next.........However Cotto is the fight that can really make Hatton in America as a big PPV fight........Alot of people will say straight away that Cotto is too much for Hatton but I dont know so much..........I think that the weight they are matched would have a big bearing on things at welter Cotto edges it while at Light Welter I give Ricky the shout..............I think the Zab fight showed that you can get to Cotto but on the flip side we all know he can get to you !!!!!!!!..............All in all I think it would a superb match up & in the wake of the latest "superfight PBF v DLH" ....... One that boxing needs.............:thumbsup

    Honestly, I'd see Hatton getting the majority of the early rounds but fading as Cotto got stronger. Barring a fight stopping perfect punch, I think Hatton would be broken by the end of it, but it would be an entertaining fight due to both of their agressive styles.

    Great fight, that's for sure.

    cotto's punch power could factor, but so could his ability to get stunned - I don't think for one second that Cotto is china chinned, his beard seems pretty good, but he can be hurt. And Hatton would jump on him if he hurts him.

    Cotto by TKO ... Cotto is too much for Hatton....he's too strong he throws in combos to head and body ...hatton won't be able to outmuscle him

    Hatton's face will resemble carlos maussa after a bout with cotto

    Tough fight for sure, I think Hatton has the better two wins in Kostya Tszyu and Castillo compared to Paulie M and Judah, but Cotto seems to fill out better at 147, so that would come into play.

    Hatton seems to be the stronger chinned of the two, and better gas tank, but Cotto has the better single shot power.

    Hatton is more dangerous with his right hand than Cotto, since Cotto is a natural lefty and while not a one handed fighter is still developing a full weapon of a right hand, wheras Hatton already has it.

    Also, I don't think there is anybody in or around welter that is as strong as Hatton in the clinch, even Cotto. All things considered I think Hatton takes it in a tough fight, he has more weapons and ways to win, but you can't count Cotto out, ever.

    Hatton couldn't KO, and was getting busted up by, Louis Collazo. Even he admits that 147 is too big for him. I'm also not sure how anyone can call Cotto "china chinned". He's been in with some hitters and has never been stopped.

    Thanks lads............Some good genuine replies there.........I would take Cotto over Mayweather because I have to admit as a Hatton fan Floyds style & movement could make Ricky look very bad......e.g. Gatti.....!!!!............If Hatton could get Floyd into a mix up .... great.....but he wont as Floyd is to cute & as much as I hate to say it......too good at what he does.......Cotto on the other hand will come to Hatton & this will suit both fighters.......It has the makings of a classic....!!!!

    Cotto by Ko
    He is just plain better and is coming into his own at welter.

    I think Ricky, whilst a huge jnr welter, just doesnt have the same impact at 147.

    I am the opposite side. I'd Floyd over Cotto, but would give Hatton a good chance of beating him if he showed up in top form.

    Cotto is toooooooooooo much for Hatton. It will be a 8-10 rounds great fight with great Cotto's combos to head and body. Hatton is too little for Cotto. At the end, Hatton's face will resemble Carlos Maussa, Abdullaev, Malignaggi, etc. after a bout with Cotto
