    Questionable chin? You mean because he got rocked by the same guy that had PBF on ***** street?

    Or because he took flush left and right hooks on the button from a known puncher in Torres?

    When has Cotto been hurt at 147, where you would question his chin?

    You and Eze need to stay out of Cotto threads, they make both of you sound like you have an extra chromosome.

    Cotto would brutalize him!

    Hatton would probably enjoy this fight more than the Mayweather fight but I still think ultimately he'd lose. Wasn't he mandatory for Cotto at one time at 140 for Miguels WBO bauble?

    I think he would enjoy it less.

    He would win more rounds, but he would look like a mutant after the fight.

    Cotto breaks faces and ribs, that's just what he does.

    Hatton seems to like getting hurt. Anyway you didn't answer the second bit. I'm sure Hatton was mandatory for Miguel at one time & he & Warren didn't take it.

    Sorry about the second part Dan, I'm unsure. I really don't think he was ever a mandatory, but I'm not 100 percent positive.

    He was definitely mandatory for the WBO at 140 at one time I'm 100% on that, it's just whether Miguel held the belt or not.

    I meant a mandatory for Miguel, I don't doubt your account of him being a WBO mandatory.

    Cotto would win at 147lbs. Hatton at that weight is too sluggish, and not as quick on his feet. At 140lbs, Hatton is a lot quicker, doesn't get hit as much, and hits a lot more accurately. I think at 140lbs, it would be an absolute brawl and come down to who has the better chin. And Hatton is the man with the better chin.
    147lbs - Cotto KO
    140lbs - Hatton KO

    I think this whole Hatton at 147 bad & at 140 good is a bit of a misnomer. You can take a big crap & lose as much weight. I just think Hatton's style is not as effective at the highest level. He looked pretty **** against Urango at 140.

    Arum said in 2004 he wanted Cotto to fight Gatti, Mayweather, Tszyu and Hatton.

    None of which happened....

    Hatton was calling out Cotto before the Malignaggi fight....then Cotto disappeared up a division.

    I'd say Tszyu and Castillo are a higher level than Collazo, no?

    Castillo was clearly shot & Hatton got away with a lot against a rusty Tszyu.

    He didn't get away with anything apart from the low blow, which Tszyu started.

    Even Tszyu didn't complain, just accepted he got beat by the better man.
