Does Anybody Else Think Neither Floyd Or Hatton Will Touch Cotto With A Bargepole?

[surreal deal]

after their scrap,whoever wins wont take that fight.
ricky will know cotto is too big and powerful for him and go down again and floyd will smoke screen it with some business bullshit and do something else.
not knocking them,i just dont think either one will face cotto.
am i right?

[PH|LLA]

if the money's right, they'll fight

[thewoo]

I can't imagine floyd turning down the fight. Hatton I can see going back down to 140

[surreal deal]

What in the hell is a bargepole?
:lol: :lol:
its an english expression for keeping well away.

[BigReg]

Are people forgeting that Arum has been positioning DLH and Margarito as Cotto's next opponent? I'm not psychologist, so I can't say for sure if Mayweather would fight Cotto next. However, Cotto may not be available for him to fight even if he wanted to fight him.

[igotJUIC3]

Cotto is now VERY worthy and brings a HUGE fan base the winner of Floyd/Hatton almost has no choice!

[johnsonjnr]

hatton or mayweather wouldnt go near cotto he isnt that gud and the money wudnt b there he would get out classed any way

[GazOC]

What in the hell is a bargepole?

A long pole you push a barge with...:lol:

[pijo]

I can see hatton fighting him at msg, hatton wants to top the bill there(one of his aims) or may be malignaggi.

[SteveO]

Based on what I've been hearing, Cotto's defense was less than impressive.

I think Floyd would love another title, and might be the man to beat Miguel.

am i right? Well, if Ricky does btter at 140 = why not stay there?

[Marnoff]

Floyd and Cotto would make a great fight.

[bagman]

After watching Cotto last night I think Hatton would beat him.

[paulfv]

Cotto crushes Hatton.

Unfortunately, I have PBF over Cotto. Believe me, I wish I didn't feel that way.

[john b]

I think hatton will fight him becasue like somebody as said he wants to fight at the MSG. I don't think mallinaggi will go up to 147, and I don't see cotto coming back down to 140. And at 147 I can't see paulie do any damage to cotto.

LMAO@ Hatton beating Cotto.. YEAH Ok then you woke up.. Oh i guess its just a coincidence that you happen to live in the UK and think Hatton would beat Cotto huh?? :rofl

[sthomas]

We'll know way more come 12/9. Crazy things can happen. In the unlikely event that Hatton convincingly handles PBF Ala "All that training Hatton did for the fight has made me even more of a beast @ 147" , he would have to fight Cotto.

[surreal deal]

any flaws in cotto's technique and defence highlight to me the main reasons the guys wont fight him;his relentlessness,tenacity and toughness.its a brutal nights work for anyone.

I'd advise you to watch the fight.

There are people here who seriously think Mosely won, pretty unbelievable.

[David UK]

Maybe Hatton will fight Cotto, but I think he'll probably return to 140 after the Mayweather fight, whatever the result. Remember, Floyd isn't a big welter, so Hatton isn't at a big size disadvantage.Against Cotto he would be

[heidegger]

Cotto is a very dangerous fight for both of them right now. Cotto is a dangerous fight for anyone period. As for what would happen: I think Cottos defence is too poor to stop FLoyd from hitting him a lot and floyds defence is too good to get caught with anything major by Cotto - resulting in what we get with all FLoyds fights - easy UD. Cottos vrs Hattos i think would be a bad matchup, Cottos could beat Hatton at his own game (roughhousing) and is a far better boxer. Hatton would be destroyed in a short explosive fight.

[surreal deal]

i dont like hattons chance vs cotto either.i think it could be a foreman -frazier type fght and blowout.

[bill poster]

Hatton has already stated he wants to fight Cotto. Mayweather has avoided the question. Mayweather has no heart left and thats why Hatton will win

[heidegger]

Keep telling yourself that East London boy.

Its funny how all you Brits have to adduce peripherals like 'heart' to justify the absurd proposition that Hatton will win. Cause like we all know hell never do it with boxing ability.

Exactly! It's the same type of shit I heard before the Gatti-PBF fight and everyone knows what happen there.:yep

[pugilistspecialist]

Cotto beat Mosley now he supposed to be some Monster now....did you guys forget when all three fighters were at 140, Arum wouldnt let Cotto near either of them. Hatton was the champion and wasnt ready to fight Mayweather, and Cotto wasnt ready either. Cotto is a very good young fighter. He gets credit for beating Mosley, but lets not act like this was the Mosley Forrest best over 5 years ago. Cotto is the number one contender....nothing more nothing less no matter what the WBAssholes say.

am i right?

I've always thought that:
1) Hatton might have won at 140 but Cotto will beat him down at 147.
2) PBF beats him at either weight.
3) I think either will fight him if there's enough $$$$$.

This is the type of shit I have a problem with the double standards. PBF beat Zab and Zab's a bum. Cotto does it and it's a great win against a dangerous foe. PBF moves up to 154 and for his first fight there fights a past prime but still dangerous Oscar wins and gets little credit. Cotto fights a past prime but still dangerous Mosley and he's the best thing since sliced bread. I give credit to both men for fighting and beating the best but others only give credit to one.:-(

[heidegger]

It's funny how you yanks refuse to A) admit your men aint that good (Gotta protect yer best vs Calzaghe!) and B) can't organize an unfixed fight lol

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Nice theory. Except it breaks down when you take into account the fact that im not American.

Im glad you noticed. I give both men credit but some fools have actually started using the "G" word while mentioning Cotto. He is a very good capable fighter and the future but he isnt a great fighter and beating 2 former champs isnt enough just yet to deserve the distinction. I feel you on the ODLH fight in comparison to the Mosley fight. Mayweather moved up a weight class and did the same as Cotto. No one deserves more credit than the other, but as all ways when Mayweather does something its like he is supposed to, and get no credit.
