    How/why?

    Hatton has shown he's not meant for 147 as Luis Collazo and Mayweather both gave him his toughest fights of his life.

    Cotto is a proven 147 fighter who has a jab that will snap Ricky's head back all night long and just as bruising of an overall style.

    I think the new tattooed Cotto is soft and beatable by a come forward hard hitting fighter like Hatton, same reason I'd pick Pac to beat him.

    Cotto likes to fight guys he can back up, not gonna happen against Hatton or Pac

    Good point.

    To your other point: I don't believe the Margarito loss will hurt him too badly.

    Don't see Hatton beating Cotto at 147, maybe at 140 he could.

    I'd give Pac the edge over Hatton, 65-35 maybe. No chance Pac takes out Cotto at 147 though.

    Have you seen Ricardo Torres fight? He would lay Pac out, he's dropped bigger guys with better chins, kids got power.

    I stopped reading after you said Pac would beat Cotto. :patsch Eastside's IQ took a turn for the worst after the Hoya fight.

    I guess you've never seen a Ricardo Torres fight. That guy drops major bombs with EVERY punch..

    I can't disagree with the original thread starter's predictions. Malignaggi could possibly beat him on points.

    I like Torres he hits like mule i don't think is any 140 pounder with his power he puts Cotto on ***** street twice it's sad he had to pull out last night vs Holt. I would pay to see him vs PAC.
