    What I think he wanted was flexibility for Margo. Had Margo kept that belt, he would've been forced to fight Clottey after Cotto as Clottey would've been his mando. Dropping that belt not only gave Clottey the title he craved, but it also allowed Margo to explore all of his options.

    Not even Cotto wanted to fight in a garbage fight for a bogus title. He wanted to fight Cintron or Soto-Karass. Intstead, he was forced into this farce of a fight.

    True but it still shows he wanted control and doesn't care about Clottey. You said it yourself, Clottey doesn't even know when or who is he fighting next.

    Arum is trying basically trying to make it so that if you want a title it has to go through him. And he'll match you accordingly.

    So beating Mosley meant nothing because Shane wasn't holding a belt when they fought?

    Cotto's title was legit.

    I know that eze. What does that have to do with what I'm saying?

    My point is a title can be legit, even if the holder didn't beat the champion to get it. Or weren't Judah and Mosley legit contenders?

    Unless he gets on the inside somting that Williams can fight well but if you are a small fighter like Cotto is very dificult to hit him on the inside and Cotto would hit him with a lot of body punches including a few low blow because he is too big than a jab canb land on his you know what. So he can break down Williams and win the fight.

    That title was not even of him was from Judah or Baldomir but he droped the title. But then again beating Quintana, Judah and Mosley complement to make him a champion.

    Margorito considered himself a 7 year World Champ based on his holding the WBO World Title...

    WTF are you trying to say? Are you saying that Williams has trouble hitting shorter guys inside? CLEARLY you are blind or did not see the last fight he just fight. :-(

    This is funny! Some people knock PW for fighting inside too much, and this fool says he doesn't fight inside well. :rofl SO how did he get his record?:huh
