    So it's an ok excuse for Hatton but not when PBF says Cotto needs to build up his name so the fight between them will be bigger.:-( Do you not see the double standard you have here?:deal
    BTW PBF would have beaten Hatton easier at 140. He was at his physical peak there not to mention he let his hands go alot more there buy throwing more combos and he was faster of both hand and foot there as well.

    How the **** is that a double standard when Floyd ALREADY tried to fight Cotto? :huh

    And another thing, HATTON Wanted to make HIS name bigger first. The difference is Floyd wanting Cotto to be bigger. It's not even a double standard w/o my first tidbit.

    He tried to fight them both at 140 and was turned down a fact that Cotto apologist never admit to or flat out ignore like Ram. My thing is people always say Hatton's excuse for not fighting PBF at 140 is that he had no fanbase in the US and needed to build one to make the fight bigger. But when a PBF fan says Cotto needs to do the same thing he's accused of ducking Cotto. They say it's fine for one fighter but not fine for the other, like Ram does.

    Dude...no Cotto fans HIDE from that. Everyone knows that. You aren't even responding to my quote. Did you just accept there was no double standard?

    base on what Data ?? he's only fought Hatton ..

    Base on Floyd fight with Manfredy and Coralles fight with manfredy Coralles should have given floyd a very tuff fight maybe even his first loss .. Guess what ?!?!

    I trust that you don't know ****.. I highly doubt cotto can beat Floyd Boxing, and lets not forget only one fighter was able to lay a decent left hook on floyd and that was 6 years ago (castillio) ,, Cotto wide left hook, while he's looking at the floor will have to change if he fights floyd or he may well put two slices of bread on floyd right hand now and get use to the taste , because thats what he will be eating right upper cuts and straight rights all night, with as wide as cotto delivers his hook .

    and how do you know Cotto is stronger then floyd and if he is how do you know his strength will make a difference ? again based on what .. didn't they say that Oscar , Hatton , Gatti ,Baldi, castillio , Corralles and Chavez were all stronger then Floyd ??? what happen ???

    point blank the only thing we know for certain is that Floyd will be the youngest ,most experience ,talented versatile fighter Cotto will ever face .

    :good wide left hook and before he throws his combinations he takes a predictable long step foward with his left foot..something judah timed well in the first 3 rounds of their fight

    Hey short bus, Cotto has been fighting in the US for years. . . he has a fanbase already.

    Sure, Fraud called out Cotto when he was still green. Now that Cotto is ready Fraud has every excuse in the book including two pointless rematches no real boxing fans want. . . DLH II and Hatton II.

    Can we please stop with this Miguel was green bull****. Floyd went after him in 2005 after the Gatti fight. At the time, Cotto was damn near 25, had 23 fights under his belt, was a top 3 JWW, and had a title. Furthermore, he was at the Gatti fight. He clearly was there to check out a future opponent. Either that or he's just a fan of Floyd.

    Cotto is the tougher fight because he is a full fledged welterweight. Hatton is just about as good a fighter as Cotto pound for pound. Floyd will beat Cotto. Cotto is an OK fighter but not that special. He is one dimensional and Floyd will out box him. I think you will find in the Gomez fight, that Cotto is not the fighter some might think he is.

    Cotto was a WW smashing to make 140, everyone knew he was to step up to 147 before taking on the biggest challenges.

    Some thought he would not have the same power after moving up, , , then he crushes Quintana, Zab and beats Shane.

    Cotto is clearly Frauds path of MOST resistance and thats why she is ducking him for pointless rematches with DLH and Hatton.

    No the other thing we know is that Cotto has detroyed fighters that Mayrunner has fought and just simply beaten.

    We also know Mayrunner has not beaten any (i.e refuses to fight) any of the top ten WW's-that speaks volumes.

    he has not fought cotto yet so why compare who would be a harder fight.just for the hell of it huh ? ok ill play that game, for now !

    hatton is better at 140 so he says against mayweather it should not matter if it was 140 0r 147 but anyways cotto is proven to be a better fighter at 147.so you might as well say cotto is the tougher fighter for pbf, mayweather want pull a hatton on cotto.

    any mayweathers check left hook want put cotto on his ass either, maybe a few of them after a while but not one goodone.cotto is bigger and stronger and a better boxer then hatton and he is more durable as well.

    cotto would be a harder fight for floyd.

    :lol: Yur funny what fighter did Cotto destroy , Zab was on his way to being KOed before he Fowled Floyd ..

    Cotto on the other hand was on his way to going to the canvas before Fowling Zab ..

    Corley and Cotto were in a Sesaw battle before the ref stopped the fight when Corley took a knee to get his head together ..

    Floyd soundly gave Corely a one way beating for 11 straight rounds and the one Round Corley did win he still took a beating.

    In both fights Cotto took some tuff punishment from Zab and Corley where Floyd came out untouched with little to no punishment ..

    to put in simply floyd out classed fighter that cotto had to go to war with.

    I think the answer is obvious considering Hatton struggled against Callazo and was soundly outclassed by Mayweather in his only 2 fights at WW. Floyd would have also destroyed Hatton at 140 as well so I don't think the weight for this fight really mattered.

    Cotto's a way better fighter than Hatton, at least at 147 and this is the fight PBF needs to cement his legacy, at least as far as I'm concerned.
