    I don't remember Cotto or Hatton being that keen on a fight at 140? You really should get on Mayweathers case rather than Hattons over ducking Cotto. I've no idea whether Judah or Cotto would come down to 140 to fight Hatton and neither do you, I DO know that neither fighter has made any noises to that effect.

    Is Cotto going to be the new Witter around here?

    Don't know if Cotto is the new Witter. I was always a Judah backer and not much of a Witter shill.

    I know that Judah will do anything for the moola. I bet he would drop to 140 in a flash if they offered him a £200-300k.

    Also if Hatton can fight PBF at 147 then why not Cotto or even Judah @ 147.

    I would rather see him face Torres at 140 than Malignaggi.

    I love the way you cant help having a dig at Witter at every opportunity perpetuating your image as a hypocrite.:lol:

    Hatton beat the man who sparked Judah out in 2.

    Hatton Vs Cotto or even Margarito would end up with Hatton stopped within 5 rounds!

    Yes, I'd seriously be concerned for Hattons health in a fight with Cotto. It's not something I would take any pleasure in seeing & I mean that.

    Have you been out on the pop?? Fat Joe dragged Witter and the £100,000 offer into this last time I looked, I merely responded.

    Fat Joe:

    "Ray Hatton is a greedy *******. Criticising the WBC Champion because he wanted 30%.

    ""We've had a phone call when we were sat on a beach in Tenerife from Mick Hennessy," Hatton Senior acknowledged. "He said "Now Junior's won the WBC title it must be a 50-50 split.' You're left laughing and that ain't the way to do it. We've never sat down at a table to discuss it properly. We've just had a phone call, 'How about the fight? How about this percentage and that percentage?'.

    Hatton's lawyer, Gareth Williams made a lowball offer of a £100,000 purse, which Hennessy predictably turned down. "All right," said Ray Hatton, "it was an insult and I hold my hands up, but it was more money than he'd had for any of his fights before. If you're making statements like, 'I'll fight somebody for nothing' and then you offer somebody, even though it is an insult, bigger money than he's ever fought for before and they turn it down blank and want 30 percent of everything, let's have it right.""

    Sorry I just cant take Ray Hatton seriously. When he's talking all I can picture is carpets, grey slippers & suet. Just because his son is a world champion doesn't mean he's an expert, he hardly has pedigree within the scene now does he? I much preferred the time when he was just some thick looking, proud father than the glorified cheer leader/wannabe promoter he has become.

    Cotto or Margarito Vs Pavlik ,at middle, would be stoped in one round.

    So what?

    Hatton is a JW hes not a WW.

    I agree, so why does he want to fight Mayweather there again then?

    Money and fame?

    Cool, but then it's fair for others to question why he doesn't want to fight any of the other guys at 147 that would bring him just as much fame yeah?

    You really think fighting Cotto or Margo would bring as much of either (money or fame) than fighting Mayweather?
