    Paul would rain punches down on that fool like a madman.


    Don't be fooled by that Cintron fiasco. He would fight Cotto nothing lke that.

    People are mostly going to say Williams would demolish Cotto. It would not be that easy. One simple reason. Cotto has excellent timing, and Williams has a terrible habit of leaning in at times. So even if Williams would get to Cotto as the fight went on and wear him down, it would not be exactly easy.

    I'd have to favor Williams. The physical advantages are just to vast. Paul has an amazing 82" reach, Cotto has a 67" inch. I think Cotto would have a tough time closing the distance, and while may not have amazing power he is surprisingly good at varying the power in his punches. He is almost like a pitcher, he has you thinking change-up and he pops you with a fastball.

    Cotto is a tremendous fighter, but he would be out of his depth if he fought either Williams or Martinez.

    Cotto would have his moments, catching Paul on the way in, but I see a Williams decision, close, comfortable 116-112.

    Cotto doesn't have the power of Cintron and he doesn't have the power nor the handspeed of Martinez. Paul would walk him down frm the opening bell. None of that bull**** experimenting he was doing the first three rounds against Cintron.


    This fight would look eerily similar to PW-Winky, except Cotto would thrw a little more, and would fold in the end.

    Williams would make cotto quit on his stool, cotto would be fighting on the back foot all night and williams would use his size and reach to his advantage. By the way there no shame in losing to williams especially at 154.

    Pwill will Stop cotto. Cotto will have some early success and then it will open up for pwill and the accumulation will punish cotto into a stoppage in the later rds.

    Foreman showed some heart tonight but very little in the skills dept. Dont judge or hype cotto up too much after thsi performance. Pwill would be too much for him

    I highly doubt this fight could even get accepted by Cotto's team. But, Cotto doesnt duck so who knows.

    Cotto was hesitant to pull the trigger on the one legged, pillow punching, over matched Foreman, if he gets in the ring with Williams, Martinez, Kirkland, Angulo, hell any B-level up 154 fighter he will get beaten out of the ring. I hope he goes back to 147, it is safer for him down there.

    I picked Williams by decision.

    Too many punches thrown, that would prolly give him the decision no matter if he can hurt Cotto or not, or if he would often land cleanly.
