Cotto wouldn't stand a chance. The only reason Mayweather isn't fighting him is because there's no money it. If people thought Cotto had a serious chance he would be ahead of Hatton and DLH in the market.

I see for the Wrestlemania shindig this weekend, ‘Pretty Boy’ is being dropped. He's now Floyd ‘Mo’ Money’ Mayweather.

I'm a big fan of Cotto and IMO his style would cause Mayweather a few problems, but then again I thought that about the Hatton fight.

The difference being that Cotto is a very natural welterweight, whereas Hatton isn't. I think Cotto would give Mayweather problems being a naturally big, strong welter.

Would love to see Hatton/Mayweather 2, but only at light-welter which is the only way Hatton would have a chance IMO. I know Floyd is all about money, and the fight would certainly generate enough to gain his interest, whether he'd drop down though is another question?

Cotto's a useful banger (who gets away with far too many low blows), but I'm not convinced by him yet. I certainly don't think power and aggression is enough to trouble Floyd, whose chin is rock solid.

It's easy to imagine what Floyd will do when Cotto goes at him in the early rounds (bob, move, clinch and tie him up). He'll also drum a tattoo on Cotto's face every time he comes in. Cotto isn't used to that.

At the mid-point Floyd will have found his range and then it'll be all over.

Mayweather is the best boxer I've seen in my lifetime, and he must be up there with all of the all time greats.
Mugwump, I think you do Hatton a slight injustice in that fight. Firstly let me say that Hatton isn't in the same league as Mayweather, and never will be. Natural talent like that doesn't come around very often.

However, the refereeing in that fight favoured Mayweather so much he may as well have been reffing himself. Of course, the only difference that made to the fight IMO would have been Hatton still standing at the end, probably 9 or 10 rounds behind on the scorecards, but I think with the amount of heart he showed in that fight, he deserved to get to the end, and some absolutely shocking refereeing denied him that IMO.

I'd love to see a Hatton v PBF II, for the build up and the big occasion more than anything. However I can't see Hatton getting near him tbh. Still, stranger things have happened.

The event would be a cracker, i'm not sure about the actual fight.

I don't really want to see Hatton Mayweather II to be honest, as I think Mayweather will have the measure of Hatton earlier on this time, who just doesn't have the natural ability to get close enough to Mayweather.
I'd much rather see Hatton take on Witter.
On this subject, it obvious Hatton isn't scared of getting hurt, knocked out or anything, but I think he's abit wary of losing to Witter, someone who he's argued isn't in his league for many years.

It could depend on how much foul play and cheating Mayweather would be allowed to get away with. If he isn't allowed to get away with the things he got away with in Vegas and Hatton does get away with a bit more, then he's an outside chance IMO.

As I said earlier, if he can persuade Mayweather to come down to 140, then I believe his chances increase greatly.

Mayweather v Hatton II needs to happen. Ledgends are formed by 2nd and 3rd fights. Mayweather will come to Manchester - and win. But - as another poster said - if anyone can beat Flloyd - its Ricky.

I'm not sure how much greater "cheat" Mayweather is than Hatton. You can't tell me that Hatton's roughouse ractics against Zoo (head, elbows and even rabbit punching) are the epitome of fair play.

I remember when Hatton was an exceptional technical boxer, not the grappling, holding, brawling fighter he's become since Zoo.



Why? Mayweather will be just as strong at 140. He might even be quicker.
