Ricky stops Gatti in an absolute war. Both men hurt and battered but Hatton stops him in rounds 8-10. Cotto gets a split decision over Ricky, very disputed decision. Hatton is getting out boxed to hell by Taylor but Ricky gets him late. Taylor makes the mistake of going toe to toe when he's tired. Pryor, another great fight but Hatton is on the losing end. Either decision loss or late ko.
Bears Gatti in my opinion easier than some think Cotto is a toss up, should be a close fight, I’d maybe favour Hatton on his best night. Taylor and Pryor beat him comfortably, Pryor late stoppage
Runs through Gatti. I'd favour him to beat Cotto, probably on points or late stoppage. Loses to Medrick and Pryor obviously.
Cotto was weight drained at 140 and chinny at the weight. At 147 I'd favour Cotto but at 140 it's more of a toss up. Taylor liked to brawl too much but his speed/skills at his best should be enough. I mean if you can win like 9 or 10 rounds vs a prime Chavez and school McGirt then I think Taylor should be able to beat Hatton. Gatti as much as I like him was a step below Hatton. Pryor I think is overrated but I'd favour him over Hatton.
He beats Gatti quite handsomely if he boxes like he did against Ray Olivera, Urango early doors etc Meldrick stops him on cuts I think he’s a little too fast footed for the compact, technically sound and physically strong Miguel Pryor he’d try to clinch a lot and land out of the clinches I believe, especially to the body. But even so peak Aaron would grind him down and stop him… though don’t rule out a body shot stoppage for Hatton if he manages to land correctly in the right spot
