Problem with Cotto is size. He's bursting at the seams at 140.
This Hatton fight according to boxrec.com (Which right now is way jacked up, if anyone visits this site, how do you access the news articles now?) will setup a superfight with Oscar at 147. He's 40 years old after all, win or lose, it will take alot of money to get him in the right with the reward vs risk factor for fighting a guy like Cotto.
Just like Hopkins, I never thought Hopkins would take the Taylor fight for the little amount of money he's going to make. (As opposed to a HUGE fight with Winky, or moving up and fighting Tarver or Johnson, which he's talked about more then once) but stranger things have happened.
