    Dzinziruk is very underrated, I see it's a 50/50 fight at 154. Also Margarito is a 50/50 fight, nowadays Tony starts faster than usual.

    Also the Cotto fight is a tough one to pick, but at the moment, I feel he's going to have trouble getting back to the Mosley or Afonso Gomez himself... and I'd only pick a 100% Cotto over Williams...

    The most interesting fight at 154 IMO is Dzinziruk-Williams. Of course the Ukranian is the champ and Williams is the interim champ, so I guess they'll at least consider putting this fight on...



    BTW... what do you guys think about a 2010 Paul Williams vs. Alfredo Angulo fight? I'd consider picking him over PW a year from now, but he's yet to face elite fighters to give hard evidence of what I feel, so we'll have to wait and see... Mayorga will be a very good test, he almost pulled it off vs. Shane...

    I don't think Forrest can. He's showing his age and can't put together another performance that he did against Mora. Williams would make him look old with his newly found bodypunching ability and high punch output.

    Quintana?!?!?!

    WTF?

    I guess no one saw the second fight. Quintana is not looking for that rematch for good reason. That three-piece combo at 1:29 was there the entire first fight, and would have been there the entire second fight. There is absolutely nothing Quintana can do to stop him now that he has adjusted his style slightly. No luck about it. If Paul hadn't caught that fool the first round he would have caught him in the second or the third.

    As far as Cotto goes, I guess I am seeing a different guy than everyone else. Cotto is good, but the Cotto I've seen just doesn't have the stamina, workrate, and chin to **** with Petey past 6 Rounds.

    Margo has what it takes, depending on what type of fight P fights. If he fights smart, there is nothing Margo can do. If he tries to sit down on his punches and make himself more available, he might open himself up evn more. And you can believe that "start faster" bull**** if you want to. Margo was GASSED in that 12th Round after tiring himself in the 11th (an exeercise in futility since he never even dazed Williams despite what the revisionists say). He starts faster he will get frustrated and gassed quicker. He might **** around and get his ass put to sleep.

    I would favor Margrito over him in the rematch but nobody else.

    I think of your list that Martinez has the best shot however PTP would present a similar challenge to him that Margarito did who is consequently was the only man to beat Martinez.

    I'd pick PTP by UD

    Style wise, i think Clottey, Martinez and maybe Forrest are the only 3 fighters i think could possibly beat Williams cause of their styles. The rest of the poll i think Williams won't have any problems.

    On an off night any would have a chance but I would favor Paul against all of them. Want to see Williams-Spinks. See if he can stop Spinks

    If they fought Cotto would win a UD IMO.
