Hatton vs. Cotto at 140

Hatton was still a beast at 140 despite his technical deficiencies. He had alot of energy and very good power especially in his left hook. I wouldn't be surprised if he might of been able to floor Cotto, but I think Cotto keeps him at a distance with his jab and times him, which Cotto was great at, coming in and wears down Hatton.

I think Cotto wins in a split decision in a fun fight, but if they went toe to toe, their would be knockdowns on both sides, but Cotto was the more accurate and didn't punch as wild or open as Hatton, so I think he would beat Hatton to the punch. I'd give Cotto the edge.

 

Cotto Ko7 Hatton.

Cotto has better boxing skills and more cautious than Hatton. And I cant see Hatton bulldozing Miguel, unless Miguel's weight-drained at 140 (I think he'll be)

 

Youngstown forever, goddammit! Whooooo!!!! Ghost is gonna haunt your ass!

 

Hatton would break Cotto down, and stop him around rounds 8 or 9. Hatton always has and always will be underrated and very under appreciated. A lot of people that vote just remember 2 rounds. Rounds 10 and 2. So as Roger Mayweather says "Ya'll don't know **** 'bout Boxin'!"

 

Cotto is a class above Hatton for pure boxing ability and hit monstrously at 140, but I think Hatton has a chance to bully him there.

The outcome could hinge on how the fight was officiated.

 

lmao... They weren't even around 4-5 years ago.

 

Exactly. Over the last few years Boxing has gained a **** load of fans. You have people that haven't followed the sport 4 or 5 years and have just seen 2 rounds of Hatton's career. And then you have the other type that have been "fans" that jumped on Hatton's bandwagon when he was on fire, and now have jumped off because it's "uncool" to be a Hatton fan.

 

This would have been a brilliant fight if both were in their prime - an all out war. I'd back Hatton to win by close decision though. I think he'd be backing Cotto up for a large portion of the fight. It would be close though.

I think some people forget just how much of a beast Hatton used to be at 140lbs.

 

yes he was (torres) and he badly rocked a few times as well.

and you can say pbf and pac are 2 classes above hatton if you like, but to say cotto was, at 140 is a joke.

 

Cotto by dec.

 

edit

 

hatton is a ****ing 1 dimensional slugger with his face using as his ultimate defense. i see Cotto punishing hatton with his jab early then KTFO hatton in the later rounds.

 

Cotto would be a ****in zombie if he was to get down to 140 so Hatton would kill him.

147 + and it's Cotto.

 

that performance with kostya zu is not a good measureing stick, becausebefore that fight Kostya zu didn't fight or trained for 3 years. So those 3 years Kostya him a lot.
