He is fighting Clottey next. You know a unification fight. A fight Berto should of done with Williams. :admin :admin :admin
no one is saying is not the truth... in reality it is true, cotto fought for vacant titles... but more of "the truth" is your trying to discredit him for that at all times... esp. at a time were so many belts get vacated... him being a paper champ doesnt mean anything less from someone who beat a beltholder lets say like a mayweather vs carlos baldomir... so many great champs that we know today and in the past have some way gotten a title because someone vacated their title... the real challenge is defending that title... thats what you dont get...
Margo could've unified with Williams, instead he just wants go out and prove that he's the best Top Rank Welter. Meanwhile, Williams wants to be the best Welter period. :shock: :admin :shock: :admin :yikes :yikes
He wanted to get Clottey out the way. Still why not fight Williams since he hasnt had **** to do? :admin :admin :admin :admin :admin :admin :bart
When have I tried to discredit Cotto? I simply stated facts. And no, paying Urkal step aside money in order to fight for a title that Hatton vacated is not better than beating the recognized champ, a guy who was coming off a win over the undisputed champion who was also a top 10 p4p fighter at the time. I have always had good things to say about Cotto. However, he is indeed a two time paper champ. That's reality.
I told you, Williams was chasing after Margo when Berto's fight was set. All the Welters will have their shot at Berto at 2009. His career progession isn't much different than Cotto's when Cotto was Berto's age.
Defended his title against Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito. 2 Top welterweights, how does that make him a paper champion? I could see if he was defending it only against scrubs, but that's not the case. Cotto made the belt mean something by defending it against guys like Mosley and Margarito.
Margarto is unifying with a tough SOB. No ducking here, just business. Williams could fight Cintron, that will be a good fight. :yep
He did not beat the champ to get his title, that makes him a paper champ. That doesn't he can't be a great champ, but he's still a paper champ. Hell, Calzaghe was a paper champ for years. He was still a damn good fighter and champion.
