    True but I also feel he is slower and may have a harder time getting close to mayweather

    Id say Cotto strictly on size.....But I only say Cotto to answer your question, I don't think Hatton or Cotto can beat Floyd.

    Hatton has a slight edge, his is such a unique style, the antheisis of Floyds really, plus size won't matter much as Hatton will still be the stronger man, and Hatton has a better developed right hand, wheras Cotto can be too dependent on his left. I think either one could do it though.

    Miguel Cotto - physically stronger, harder puncher, seems to me that he is a more fluid combination puncher whereas Hatton is a good combination puncher, but tends to hold and maul. At 147, he has also been way more impressive than Hatton was against Collazo.

    I just like how Miguel has shown an ability to deal with speed by his constant pressure and combination punching. You may be right though.

    We will know for sure about Hatton on December 8th

    Cotto, he's bigger, stronger, hits harder and has better endurance than Hatton. He also has a better chin than Ricky too.

    cotto is a better boxer, he is very relentless and even stronger at ww.hatton is not has strong in fact pbf last few fights have been against guys that are stronger and bigger then hatton.

    styles make fights, but pbf will have lil problem with hatton style and but i can see cotto pulling off at castillo pbf 1 type fight.

    cotto is the harder guy by farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    cotto's one of my favorite fighters at the moment, but i'd have to say hatton, just cause i think he's got quicker feet and would probably smother floyd's punches with his clinching, he'd also be able to rough him up inside ala tszyu/castillo. but looking at it again i'd say this is 50/50, and cotto would probably have the same chance as hatton.
