The first 6 rounds he boxed Urango's head off,gassed out a bit the 2nd half of the fight and held too much.Still won 11 out of the 12 rounds.Urango's strong and dangerous if limited,i think it was a good win.
I would rank Cotto higher yea, but not by a country mile.....yes they should both go in HOF without a doubt.
WTF cotto fought 80 percent b level fighters and almost got k0d twice by them. he ducked hatton at 140, hatton was the man at 140 and dominated when he was there who has cotto fought? clottey, he lost that fight but won the decision lost to margo lost to pac beat mosley who was past it hatton has better wins under his belt then cotto while cotto just fought for vacate titles and mostly b level fighters. hatton won nearly every 140 title, was the ring champ aswell
Actually it was the first four rounds. I thought Hatton looked really good in those rounds. Then in round five he nearly got folded in half by Urango's body shots. That round completely altered the way Hatton had been fighting up until that point. atsch
Hatton is ****. Dont compare him to Cotto. Only an English man or a Hatton hugger would say he is on the same level as Cotto. And to answer the question Hatton does not deserve the HOF.
Cotto basically fought every good Welterweight of the era. Quintana Judah Mosely Margarito Mosely He actually beat better fighters at 140lbs than Hatton did as well. Hatton has a win over an old Tsyzu (who hated pressure anyway, let alone at 35 - good win, but a good style match-up for him). And a couple of brutal losses against 2 elites, but NEITHER OF WHOM had scored a KO in years. Cotto destroyed all the B-level fighters he fought. Hatton was in life and death battles every time he fought someone with a pulse. Cotto >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hatton.
LOL hatton lost the the two number 1s at the time as well who has cotto fought? 80 percent b level. all he has is a past it mosley, rest are over the hill finished fighters or bums
