    firstly, take a chill pill your going way too hard. no need for insults.

    Hatton wrestled an over the hill tszyu into submission.

    cotto pounded a still dangerous Judah into a bloody pulp, his most convincing loss ever.

    and cotto's win over mosley was a better feat...

    cotto's loss to margarito was a better feat than hatton's win over collazo

    1 More convincing then Tszyu's 2nd round KO????

    2 A non steriod mosley these day's is just as good as the tszyu that fought hatton

    3 So to you, getting the **** BEATEN out of you by a B+ fighter is better then win a close decision vs a B level fighter? Id rather win a close fight then get my **** pushed in... But whatever floats your boat i guess :rofl

    is this an excuse already?

    i don't think that he's already damaged, and he has a shot of beating pac. it's still a 50:50 fight for me

    1. yes, more convincing than tszyu's second round K.O? Tszyu arguably lost the first round, then placed a perfectly timed punch on Zab's chin. a perfectly timed punch from tszyu would have done that to most opponents.
    cotto actually had a legitimate battle with zab judah, eventually outclassed him and stopped him. that's personally more impressive.

    2. I disagree completely.

    3. I was being facetious to highlight my belief in the illegitimacy of Hatton's win against Collazo. Cotto went out on his shield while hatton almost got knocked out by collazo in a very questionable win, the same collazo mosley beat the **** out of.

    cotto's a better fighter and his legacy far surpasses that of cotto's.

    Hatton's a good fighter in his own right but miguel angel is a step above.

    Yep, he should have got a decent trainer ages ago. His trainers are crap. They dont seem to know jack **** about having a gameplan or strategy.

    Lets just say that Pac is older, has been through many more wars and has even lost more fights...and he's fighting in his 10th wieght division, how many fighters were called "prime" fighting in their 6th division yet alone 10th.Theres no excuse, if anyone is damaged here, its Pac.

    Clottey had that fight in his hands and he let it slip away. What's worse: losing a fight by being outclassed, or losing a fight you should have won?

    Atlas is a bonafide moron. He is the undisputable bonafide moron. Cotto has had some tough fights....and he's only lost one of them!! That's pretty good if you ask me.

    The Clottey fight, Cotto had one eye. Judging this fight is unfair for Cotto, because he had to fight a different style against Clottey. I'll be one of the few and I def. disagree with Teddy. Cotto in my opinion is growing in all aspects all around with boxing skills. Hes using the ring and boxing more than ever. He doesn't have to become the aggressor to win fights, hes noticing this. Everybody is talking about Manny's speed, but the guy gets hit often. Lets not just forget about his career, it seems everyone is just mentioning his last two fights. The guy gets hit. Hes not a slick boxer like a Mayweather, Benitez, or Whitaker. Hes very hitable, and someone please tell Teddy why maybe Clottey didnt attack Cotto at times. Didn't Clottey state he felt Cotto's punches and didnt want get caught. That Cotto's punches were harder than Margaritos:patsch

    I don't think he has that arrogance about him now which did so well in intimidating opponents.

    I think fighters will be going in the ring with a lot more confidence that this guy has no heart.

    ill go along with that too, despite pacs momentum.
    im willing to bet pac loses his edge before cotto does in the ring...and i cant believe anyones even considering that pac is not taking a tough option by fighting cotto.
