    Clottey much too strong for Hatton at welterweight. Clottey gave Cotto hell, and looked bigger and stronger than Miguel in the ring, and Cotto is bigger and better than Hatton. No way does Hatton, probably giving away 15lbs to Clottey as well as height and reach, have the speed or skills to outfox him. Clottey wins this fight 9-10 times out of 10 because Hatton can only fight coming to him, and that won't work at all. Clottey ate Pac's best bodyshots for 12 rounds, so Hatton would have no success with that tactic, and he doesn't possess the speed, variety or reach to breach the high guard with head shots. This is a terrible match-up for Hatton, he'd have no chance and would most probably get stopped late, if Clottey really went for it.

    Ugh. Between the wrestling from Ricky and the low punch output from Clottey this seems like it would be a stinker.

    Hatton wasn't so hot at welterweight. If he couldn't push you around, Hatton wasn't effective. No way Hatton controls the in fighting, Clottey is stronger and bigger.
    So what does that leave for Ricky, boxing at long range? Good luck, Clotteys punches are more compact than Hattons, and Josh is quicker.
    Clottey lacked the little extra needed to beat the very top of a very hot division , or a P4P champion in Paq, but Hatton isn't quite on the level of a Paq or a Floyd. I don't see much chance of success for Hatton against Clottey.

    Hatton would get out 'left hooked' against Clottey.
