better oposition, better chin, more heart.AUDI99 said:I think, no, I know that Cotto is better, Cotto had fought better fighters than Hatton. Cotto hits stronger and has better chin and heart.....
Hatton's heart is second to none period. The chin statement is funny, because Hatton has taken big shots from Zoo without being shaken.. Cotto has been shaken by the lesser hitters. Cotto may have similiar heart but you cant better Hatton's. Cotto is stronger at 147, but in a p4p sense i think Hatton is stronger. Hatton's wins over Zoo and JLC were very good wins, and whether you like him or not hes a world class fighter in the same league as Cotto.. and could very well beat him.AUDI99 said:I think, no, I know that Cotto is better, Cotto had fought better fighters than Hatton.

Yes against lower class fighters than hattons fought. Hattons fought better oposition than cotto and never realy been shook up part from a maggee knockdown and the collazo fight. Every step up cotto makes he seems to get more and more stunned. He has a good chin in sticking in there and geting throught the round hes troubled but IMO shouldnt have to go throught that punishment.TysonJones said:i didnt say it did, but he hasnt lost , and has overcame way more adversity than hatton to do so.
an old urkal, old judah, are the biggest names on cottos record. Malignaggi is the best young fighter cottos fought and tbh i could giv that fight to paulie. Quintana was also good fighter.TysonJones said:cotto takesx a better body shot than hatton. hatton hasnt fought the bigger NAMES.......old guys, but their names look good on hattons record. Cotto has fought a bunch of young undefeated hungry fighters who didnt have a name but were damn good in the ameteurs and some still only have that one loss on their record. So i wouldtn compare their records that much, they have fought equally good opponents.
the shots that cotto have recived came from stronger fighters than hatton's oponents, thats why i say he has better chin, and ofcourse he has better heart we still havent seen hatton get up from a knockdown and come back stronger like cotto does, just look at the shots he took from judah and corley and didnt went down,,, you dont know what ur talking about, cotto is stronger, i still havent seen hatton's oponent look like they growing a second face. LOL. u guys think that hattons body shots are hard but i think that cottos body shots are harder, hatton cant take shots like cotto, remember that he had to run away from collazo on the last round, or hold him, he was about to get Knock the F--- out, and u know it..............:cheeky4:TommyGunn said:better oposition, better chin, more heart.![]()
your way wide of the mark there, cottos best opponent is zab, hattons is kostya, cottos second best is malignaggi, hattons is castillo, cottos third best is quintana, hattons is collazo.
hattons easily fought the better guys, hatton doesn't get knockdown, cotto does so how can cotto have the better chin?
hatton has more heart than any other fighter in boxing just now cotto doesn't.
hatton owns cotto, cotto rejected an offer to fight hatton when both were at 140!!!
this must be the worst post ive seen on boxingforum for a long time. :laugh:AUDI99 said:the shots that cotto have recived came from stronger fighters than hatton's oponents, thats why i say he has better chin, and ofcourse he has better heart we still havent seen hatton get up from a knockdown and come back stronger like cotto does, just look at the shots he took from judah and corley and didnt went down,,, you dont know what ur talking about, cotto is stronger, i still havent seen hatton's oponent look like they growing a second face.

I agree with that. I think on paper there similiar, Cotto doesnt have a win like Tszyu on his record, but he has alot more depth to his record IMO but still, it would be fairly close.TysonJones said:i said they are even on paper, but i believe cotto would beat hatton on strength alone. hatton did beat a still very godo tszyu but hatton wouldnt of made tszyu quit when tszyu was the ruler of that division. they both deserve great props but threads like these only cause arguing lol. its an oppinion. until they fight, we will all wonder, and even after the fight, people will still claim that the loser is still bette.r
Spot on tommygun :laugh: i agree with everything you said there. Im not sure mosley will beat cotto though i think its a very tough fight to scoreTommyGunn said:im not covinced about cottos opponents, lets look closer.
quintana: a relitive unknowan, his only notable win was over a very green joel julio who lacks skill at elite level. the guys also tailor made for a strong brawler.
oktay urkal: career 140 fighter, a career 140 guy who couldn't punch there never mind up at 147 where he fought cotto. urkal was also 37 years old and slightly past his best.
zab judah: past his best, had lost 2 and had a no contest from his last 4 fights, losing to floyd was no disgrace obviously but baldomir was, zab will never win a big fight again you can just tell that from watching some fighters and i said that after he lost to baldomir.
cottos being very carefully manufactured in his 147 career and its got a lot of people fooled, we dont have long to wait till mosley exposes this though and we can stop making these silly comparisons to hatton all the time when its plain to see he's just not as good!
yeap, thats truetyson said:Spot on tommygun :laugh: i agree with everything you said there. Im not sure mosley will beat cotto though i think its a very tough fight to score
