    Well i dont know about bad person because im asking for this fight and I am a hatton fan!
    However I dont necessarily think it means the end of hatton, flloyd senior working with him on defence will help hatton considerably, lets face it he only worked 7 weeks with him before the malignaggi fight, what can you really perfect in that time??
    I think ffloyd senior will get hatton to protect himself more and pick his shots better, that will make for a better ricky against cotto.
    Ricky using his old come forward style brawling will not work against cotto, he doesnt have the chin of a margaritto who just walked through cotto.
    A more considered patient approach would work well and help with his stamina at the higher weight.
    He came at pbf like a madman and paid the price for no defence.
    I think give Hatton a year with Floyd senior and then make the cotto fight.

    Cotto would stop Hatton. I think Ricky would be wise seeing his career out at junior welter.

    I noticed that ANY fight Oscar makes is an instant farce to some haters, his fight with Mayweather was called a farce yet he was VERY competitive in that fight and actually throwing/landing even though many expected him to land NOTHING, the same people that called the fight a farce of course.

    His fight with Pacquiao might seem like a farce because of the size advantage but still it's a huge fight. At this stage in boxing anyone that can bring megafights is more than welcome and Oscar can get it done and has a very good chance to win against whoever he picks.

    Also about being saying "ONE LAST FIGHT", before Mayweather he clearly said he will move on, Mayweather is the one who said it's his last fight. Even before Forbes and Pacquiao he said he plans to continue, there's no "one last fight" talk going on here, he probably said it like once but changed his mind instantly even before his fights happen.

    Agreed.

    Cotto can't come down to LWW, and up at Welter Hatton gets dominated.

    hat\cotto would be great, but second to hatton pac for sure.

    I think hatton would be out of his league against cotto.
