    Cotto is actually a fundamentally sound boxer with power. I see him outclassing Hatton with ease.

    I don't think Cotto would go back to fight at 140 for any reason. Personally, I don't think he would fight below the 145 at which he fought Pac.

    GTFO here. Get yourself in a ring before questioning a world class champion's mental toughness.

    I think Cotto is plenty tough. Mentally and physically. He just ran into a guy who is an ATG who caught him with a big shot and beat him. I won't question the dude's success though. He's been more than solid.

    Cotto has just taken another terrible beating and Hatton was KO'd out cold early.

    ****s knows what this has done to both fighters minds and bodies so I have no idea why people are so confident in a Cotto win.

    Both fighters could be damaged goods.

    I'd probably go with Hatton simply because Cotto took a terrible beating and at least Hatton was KTFO early without takeing shitloads of punishment.

    Hatton is kinda washed up by now. Who's his trainer again?? That being said Cotto needs a new trainer himself.

    I like Cotto in this one. Probably a mid round TKO.

    Theyre on completely different levels. You guys must hate Hatton if you want to see him in matches like this.

    Rd.1 - They touch gloves, Hatton is coming forward, Cotto jabs AND DOWN GOES HATTON. Can he beat the count Bayless is at 7...8 Hatton is up and doesnt look good, Cotto Jabs misses and Hatton is tying up. Hatton showing a lot of heart in there, they break up, Hatton pulls back his left, cotto jabs and HATTON IS DOWN AGAIN. It doenst look good .Bayless waves it off and the crowd is still singing Hatton wonderland. Time of the stoppage, 52 seconds into round 1.

    As simple as that - Cotto can take more abuse today than Hatton. Even if Hatton does better at finding Cotto, he won't avoid getting hit back by Cotto every now and then, and Hatton has shown that he can't take anything flush anymore.
