What makes people think Cotto is a harder fight for Floyd than HAtton?

    I can't knock him for his opinion, I think Cotto would give PBF hell and the toughest fight of his career. At the moment I lean towards a PBF victory but I can surely see myself leaning on Miguel's side as time passes.

    Cotto is more well rounded, bigger, stronger, punches harder. In a head to head Cotto would demolish Ricky.

    Those are all good points, but the problem with Hatton's swarming is that he jumps in, which leaves him open for well-timed shots. Collazo was able to take advantage of this. Cotto is right on top of opponents and he works his way in behind a hard jab.

    I seriously think Cotto and Hatton should stay far away from Kermy....not because I don't think they are better fighters because Cotto and Hatton are a class above Kermy....but Kermy has boxings most valued equalizer "One Punch Pop" and both Hatton and Cotto are known for taking a couple here and there. That would not be wise when dealing with Kermit.

    I agree with you on that man, Cotto and Hatton both, put there heads down one time and could be looking at the lights with Kermit, and lose credibility...

    High Risk/Low Reward...

    Has Hatton ever hit the mat that anyone knows of btw? (Not saying i dont think Kermit could knock him out rofl, just curious)
    But i think they could both get the best of PW, liek i said, he may be TOO TALL, and he tends to get on the inside more than he should...and they are the worst people to do that with, especially if you are punching 6 inches downwards trying to hit them while they tear you to shreds...

    For me . . . because Cotto has accomplished more at 147 and is very comfortable at that weight.

    cintron will lay hatton out and possibly lay cotto out too !

    Cintron ko's hatton within 4 rds

    Cintron/Cotto is a toss up ....I'd lean towards Cotto whoopin his a$$ but kermit could land something and lay him out
