    Cotto couldn't KO Paulie,and Hatton isn't as good as Cotto imo,but I think Hatton can stop Paulie. Primarily because of his foot speed.

    Paulie can run all he wants ,but Hatton is one of the best at closing the gap and getting hard shots off,Cotto is slow of foot imo.

    Styles make fights.

    Good point actually.

    IMO Hatton is better than Cotto at 140, but your point regarding foot movement is spot on. Nobody in the game is more adept at cutting off the ring and getting hard shots off.

    His problem comes with HOW he gets them off. He tends to lunge, which leaves him open to the counter - which is why Mayweather beat him and why Marquez most probably would.

    Paulie doesn't have that kind of boxing brain to realise that, nor the power to make it ring true.

    Hatton vs Pacquiao would be a very intriguing affair - an all out war!

    Paulie doesnt have the the power to hurt Hatton even if he does counter, so I think Ricky will be alright. And Hatton is too big for Pacman

    There isn't any height and reach difference, but Hatton is a much broader unit than Pac.

    Could Pac handle the body shots?

    Thank you very much!!!

    Personally had N'Joudgo (spelling?) beating Paulie, and had the N'Dou fight pretty close (regardless of the hair)

    Yeah, Lazcano wobbled Hatton a few times, but I still had Hatton winning those rounds. There's no way Malignaggi can wobble Hatton....if Paulie K.O's HAtton, I will NEVER comment on boxing again.

    Yes hatton didn't look at his best against Lazcano, but he had just come back from a battering of floyd and fighting in front of 57000 fans talk about pressure. Thats hattons excuse whats paulies oh yeah I just forgot he shite and he couldn't hit is way out of a paper bag. I wreckon hatton at 140 will do one better than cotto and stop him because hatton will close him down far quicker than cotto.

    who else is he supposed to fight at 140 then? malignaggi is generally considered the #2 in the division.

    It would enphatically confirm his status as top dawg at 140. And probably set up a wicked fight between him and Judah. Which is frankly what I want to see so bring it on.

    maybe it's about time judah strings together a few decent wins again before he fights for another title. he can't go on living off past glories.

    Pauli is probably Cottos best win at 140.
