Hatton vs. Cotto - Resume

i think,me being a noob and all that,if cotto fought the same tactics against hatton,like he did against margo,hatton would break him down quicker than margo,hatton being the better mover than at heayweight,flyweight,middleweight,any ****in weight:yep

 

Can't be arsed posting something this in depth but overall Cotto, at 140 Hatton. In a head to head Cotto wins at 147, Hatton at 140.

 

Gaz are you me under an alias writing in my sleep?

 

I don't see why Hatton couldn't beat Cotto, either at 140 or 147 to be honest.

I would make him a favourite at 140 due in part to his natural strength and Cotto struggling at the weight.

At 147 I would edge fairly strongly toward Cotto, but a Hatton victory would hardly be on a par with Honeyghan vs Curry.

If Hatton could improve his defence and make Cotto miss, his natural pressure style would make Cotto uncomfortable.

 

Point noted.

But Hatton has a better chin than the guys KO'd by Cotto @ 147 thus far I'd say.

I would make Cotto favourite, but it wouldn't be upset of the year.

Firstly, I don't think Cotto hits as hard as he is reputed to do, and secondly, his punches aren't as accurate as someone like Mayweather, and thirdly, he is pretty much one-handed.

 

Cotto.

 

I'd say Hatton's defence is far superior to Margarito's, but that isn't saying much in truth. His footwork may help, being pretty bouncy on his feet to evade punches ala Urango fight (though Cotto is faster and less telegraphed).

I would like to see this one actually. I seriously don't believe Hatton is as bad as himself (and others) believe he is at 147 - he was out of shape against Collazo and was beaten by Floyd.

Perhaps it is something to cling to - i.e. it doesn't count because it wasn't in my weight class etc etc, I don't know.

The only thing that might let him down is his punch resistance.

 

I think that Hatton has the best single win (Kostya), but I would lean towards Cotto for overall body of work; I'd also include his win over Kelson Pinto as one of his better at LWW - the big Brazilian has gone to **** now, but at the time was (a) unbeaten, (b) quite highly-touted, and (c) had beaten Cotto twice in the amateurs, which might have led many to believe that he would have some kind of style advantage over Cotto.

 

are you seriously suggesting that it should be doubted???

 

:goodYes, to be fair, the post was objective.........for once
