Miguel Cotto vs. Ricky Hatton

Poof.

 

cotto is WAY to strong for hatton...

if floyd dropped hatton twice

cotto is stronger than floyd in my eyes so cotto ko's him but worse...

 

I see where this is going. Now everyone is going to start underrating Hatton. Okay, whatever. Hatton UD Cotto.

 

Man Cotto would really hurt Hatton this is a very bad matchup for Hatton and one he should avoid at all cost.

 

This is not offence to Ricky, who is a good solid boxer, but Cotto would brutalize him. Ricky relies on his ring strength and Cotto is stronger.

 

Yeah Cotto is too big, and too big a puncher, in too big a weight. Ricky needs to stay at 140 and re-establish his dominance in that division if he can.

 

Its nice to believe in your boy but lets be real here.Cotto has a sound beard.Hatton doesnt hit hard enough to hurt him.Cotto is a huge puncher Hatton uses pressure and volume.Cotto stalks Hatton comes forward.That means is what we have is a fight in the centre of the ring with the man with the big punch KO`ind his opponent.Bear in mind Cotto has a much better defense and tucks in tight and uses his jab.Hatton`s is VERY easy to hit.This would be a great fight to watch but theres NO WAY Hatton wins.He gets KO`ed in even more devastating fashion and way earlier than Floyd could manage.

 

Its interesting to note how everyone is changing there opinions on Hatton since the Floyd fight.I said before Cotto would brutalize Hatton but i was shouted down because Hattons stamina this his pressure that his relentlessnes this his body punching that.Oh how times have changed.

 

No im a realist.But you keep believeing what you will.I gurantee you you WILL eat your words if that fight ever happens.Remember this post.

 

I pretty much think the consensus was that Ricky gets beat by Cotto at Welter long before Saturday nights result happened. Against bigger guys where size hasn't been to Hatton's advantage, he has struggled at the top level, or certainly looked nowhere near his best, Collazo, Urango (Urango being a huge bodied LW) etc. Hatton is LW all day long he cant grow into WW like a Cotto, Moseley, PBF etc. His shortness, and style of fighting means he will always stuggle as a WW. Although the bigger names are up there, for the sake of his health, and getting back on track with his career he needs to re-establish his dominance at LW.

 

Nice post except for the fact that you gave Hatton the edge in chin, determination and resilience lolz Cotto is a class above in all those departments

 

I like Hatton, BUT he gets brutalized against Cotto. Cotto is just too strong even at 140.

All the fighters that fought him have gotten beat up one way or another. He did not dominate in the Mosley fight but if you look at Mosleys face at the post-fight press conference you can tell by the swelling on his jaw that he has been there with Cotto.

Judah got beat up. Quintana got beat up. Malignaggi got beat up.

And I'm sorry to say,as much as Hatton is a good fighter, he will get beat up. Even if this was without knowing what happened against PBF.

Seeing that Collazo who has a 48% KO percentage and PBF hasn't TKO'ed anyone since 2005 (Lil Sharmba Mitchell) and before that Gatti, who was there to be hit.

Hatton won't be able to stand up to Cotto's power. Period.
