I'm not sure that losing to the P4P best fighter in the world is classed as being exposed. As far as this fight goes, I see Hatton's work rate and speed benig the areas in which he holds the upper hand and that alone may allow him to nick the early rounds. However, Cotto's relentlessness and heavier hands should be enough to slow Hatton down and give him a win by way of late stoppage or decision. I wouldn't be surprised if Hatton were to win, but I'd heavily favour Cotto.
I don't think Hatton will fight Cotto at 147, I doubt he will fight again in that weight. Hatton better stay at 140, Cotto is too strong for him at welterweight. But answer your question: Cotto by KO.
So sick of the cliche' "Hatton at 140/Cotto at 147" Give it a rest. Cotto beats the **** outta Ricky at any weight, period. The fact that Cotto cannot make 140 anymore, makes that fight an impossibility, so give it up. Cotto>>>>>Hatton from 100 lbs to 500 lbs.
Cotto is no PBF. Cotto is not slick and has a questionable chin. Hatton has a tremendous work rate, one that Cotto has never seen.
