ALways thought timing was massive in terms of Hatton V Cotto, towards the end of his run at 140 Cotto was getting rocked every fight. Hatton could hit and he brought every round at his best. I think he could have beaten Cotto around then but he would have to be on his best. Always thought he'd be a bit too neat for Gatti yes it would be a war but Hatton was a bit more rounded. Taylor and Pryor I think you'd favor over Hatton.
I dont think Mel Taylor is doing that great. Within another 5-10 years Cotto will likely be the only one still alive. Pryor, Gatti, and Hatton were all addicts. Its not very surprising that they didn't live to see old age.
