    It probably wont happen but i would love to see the winner of mayweather v hatton fight kermit cintron next-He's raw but hits very hard and has speed and aggression, him and hatton would be a tear up and against mayweather i think he'd trouble mayweather with big shots, any opinions?

    Rush Boxing club and Rush Martial Arts head coach.

    Because of all the hype, money and interest..... if the fight is anyway good there will be only one next fight and that's

    HATTON V MAYWEATHER 2

    I'd love to see Hatton or PBF in with Cotto
    Two great fights. Hatton and Cotto simply toe to toe for
    36 mins, and PBF would have to put on a master class performance to beat Cotto. I think that and this Hatton fight will really tell us if PBF is one
    of the greatest 140-147lb fighters ever.....

    I'm expecting the winner of Hatton v Mayweather to fight the winner of Mosley v Cotto , in the past you'd label it as what should happen but won't , however at the moment it seems most of the big fights that should be made are being made and in that trend I can see this happening .

    For the fans sake lets hope it's Hatton v Cotto , that would be one hell of a fight .

    i think mosley is a dangerous fight for cotto but cotto doesn't duck many he's real value for money is cotto lads don't forget i think witter would knock hatton out why don't anyone want that fight witter was great last week

    I initially selected Mosley to beat Cotto and in his prime I think he does becuse of his speed and stamina and hunger. But now I think Mosley has lost some of the vital speed to beat Cotto. I think Miguel is a big hard hitting welter, not in Leonards or Robinson's league, but enough to really bully Mosley.
    I see Cotto simply being too rough and strong and Mosley on the backfoot all night, with serious stamina issues in the championship rds....

    hmmmmm, looking at the press conference , i would like to see cotto against floyd eye to eye, .... cotto is intimidating just on appearance alone !!
    dont think he could get the mental edge over cotto,

    but i did think PBF got the edge on hatton.
    hatton looked uncomfortable, and lost during the press conference, trying to smile his way thru.... you need to give it all back and more against floyd.

    I hope Hatton completely destroys Mayweather, he is such a childish little ****.

    Hatton has conducted the pre-fight stuff with so much more maturity and respect, Mayweather is just fool with a big mouth.

    I think Hatton & Mayweather will be retired before they fight Witter or Cintron - Cintron has 1 or 2 more fights to win. What about Cintron V Witter if Witter moved up?

    have to strongly disagree with you there.Why should hatton be disrespectful just to get the edge on him as you put it.I think hatton came through those pressers with flying colours.He handled it very well imo without stooping to floyds level.

    Cotto is too big for hatton I agree stylewise it would be a good fight but cotto is a big welterweight , hatton couldn't bully him like he does at light-welter,floyd isn't that big physically thats why i think hatton can beat him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 404 ✭✭Bernard Hopkins


    ok,...but I just thought that Floyd showed the brashness of Don King in that P.Conference ,... I just think that somebody like Cotto might look like he handles it better than hatton did.
    Hatton let Floyd publicly talk him down for hours without reply,... its not the ideal situation.

    I think we'll have to agree to disagree so, taking into account that english isn't cottos first language having watched his interview with shane mosley on fnf ,cotto mightn't understand alot of what pbf says,he's not the most lucid of personalitys thats putting it kindly.

    Hatton mightn't be the most articulate person in the world but i doubt cotto could talk back to pbf more than him.he may be more physically intimidating (I think thats what your trying to say) He's the bigger man so thats a given.

    pbf's game is to try and intimidate trying everything to provoke a reaction so staying quiet is the best way to combat that,cotto would be very good at that.

    hey have a look at this clip from a reporter's phone or something .
    he really took the mick out of hatton and then the union jack !! haha
