Ricky said he would have Miguel Cotto as his next opponent in December. If this were to happen, even though it's nearly impossible, who would you back to come out victorious?

Depends on if it would be at 140 or 147.

At 140 - I think Hatton would end up wearing down Cotto and winning a close UD

At 147 - No idea how Cotto would do at 147 but I'd give him more of a chance since he wouldn't have to struggle to make weight so maybe a Cotto UD

before ricky`s last fight i would have confidently said hatton, especially because the few times i`ve watched cotto he always seems about one shot away from a loss before rallying to win.
imo hatton lost to collazo so i`m not so sure now.
hatton likes to walk through people but that last round could have scarred him mentally, i thought there was no way he was going to hear the bell at one point, he was really hanging on, it was weird watching it, didnt seem real.

At 140 Hatton wins, at 147 I think Cotto might beat him. Tough to tell how much better Cotto would be at 147, he is clearly not at his best getting down to 140.
