    Hatton would take the **** out of Torres.

    All the bigger fights for him are @ welter, so why not.

    He got sick so he couldnt train enough to make the weight on time so he pulled out of the fight with Holt.

    If he moves up we won't ever see a rubbermatch. I don't ever see Holt competing at WW.

    And if he's too small for WW then so is Cotto. They are the same size and Torres is actually slightly taller. I think Cotto is too small of a WW to unify and defend the championship for years and years. Makes me feel sorry for Cotto because by the time Margarito and Williams aren't WWs anymore he will be further damaged from a Margarito rematch and won't be able to be the top WW. He got a Trinidad/Vargas type beating and probably won't be fighting in another 5 years.

    Doubt it. Cotto's power couldn't and they seemed about equal in there slugfest.

    You think Torres can KO Hatton?

    You're right. Cotto had to stay smart after getting hammered in the mid rounds. Come to think of it I think it would give Margarito problems but I think Margarito's pressure could overcome Torres. It is something to see.

    I think so but I'm not sure I don't think he could beat Hatton. Same goes for a possible Margarito fight.

    :patsch:-( Hatton is getting knocked out by Pac. Torres would also have a huge chance of knocking out Hatton.
