    If Cotto could get to Williams body, then I say Cotto. If not, Williams.

    Went for Williams by stoppage, but I wouldn't be shocked if Cotto won.

    I'm surprised in the early going that all 4 people who picked Williams picked him by stoppage.

    No he wouldn't. It is for this reason that Arum won't let Cotto in the same arena as Williams.

    In my view, if anyone is winning this fight by KO, it's probably going to be Cotto. But I suspect this one would probably go the distance, regardless of who triumphed.

    How about because Williams is almost a foot taller, and has an insane reach advantage. How about because Cotto has a leaky defense and a shakey beard. How about because Cotto is at his best when he's coming foward and working the body. Fighting like that is hard to do against a fighter that is much taller and longer than you, that is an active puncher that can work behind the jab and has 1 punch knockout power.

    Cotto knocking out Williams is highly unlikely. Williams has the much better chance at getting the stoppage.

    Yeah, because Michael Jennings and Alfonzo Gomez bring in a lot of money.:roll: In fact, Margo is probably the best ticket seller that Cotto has ever fought. Mosley's fights bring in about 3 or 4 thousand fans these days, Judah is not much of a draw, the rest of the guys aren't worth mentioning.

    Cotto's only chance is to win by knockout. whereas hes a good boxer, thetrend in boxing is starting to lean toward volume punching. In this dept. Williams is king.
