[Relentless]

this was after the malignaggi fight, gatti says cotto has never been in with a real fighter like him and he would have showed him what its like to fight to survive.

That's just a promotional stuff. Gatti already lost to PBF at that point and probably Gatti simply wanted to get back at the mix in a hurry.

No big deal. But if it did happen Gatti will could have been punished to submission by Cotto.

[BewareofDawg]

Imagine what Cotto would do to Gatti! Holy Shit, I'm thanking god this fight never happened. I like Gatti and Cotto might have done serious damage to him.

[fatcity]

One must excuse Gatti.He was concussed at the time of report.:-(

Not nearly as much as Mayweather did.

[MacManJr.]

Not nearly as much as Mayweather did.Probably not because Cotto wouldn't have had to hit him as many times as Floyd did.

Wouldn't have to and wouldn't be able to are two different things. Granted, I would have Cotto by a late KO as well, but not in as dominating fashion. Gatti would be able to hit Cotto.

I'm not saying he doesn't hit harder, what I am saying is he get's hit more, reducing his punch output. Mayweather wasn't slowed by anything at all, hitting at will. Cotto would not have that luxuray.

Cotto would not have that luxuray.I feel you but Cotto wouldn't need that luxury with the extra power he brings to the table. Plus the 1st clean power combo he lands will have Gatti on queer street. It's over after that.

yup. everyone knows gatti hates it to the ribs and the first combo that lands downstairs and then upstairs with authority would have gatti backing off like he did when ward caught him with that first good body shot.

how old is this paper?

[jecxbox]

I read this same article as well...I laughed so hard and then I got kind of worried just to think about the brain damage that Cotto would do to Gatti...I mean he would have fucking straight up massacred Gatti harder than anyone has ever done in the past!!!:patsch

Gatti's face would look like the shroud of turin after the fight.

Couldn't agree more. Cotto would have left Gatti hospitalized. You saw what he did to a relatively good defensive fighter in Malignaggie. Imagine what Cotto would have done.... OUCH
