Cotto ~vs~ Williams

Watch the fight again. Williams didn't lunge in as much in the second fight. He made Quintana come to him. Because of the disparity in size, Quintan had to resort to lunging in. He did it one too many times and got caught with a counter uppercut. That was the beginning of the end.

Are you sure about that? I could've swore Cotto was beaten into submission by a tall WW that lost to Williams.:huh

 

All 3 of those fighters were knocked out by Williams. Meanwhile, Cotto was beaten into submission by a guy Williams beat and struggled with N'Dou. Paulie Malignaggi was even getting combos off on him.

Don't forget that Williams has a damn good chin and is bigger than Margo and he beat Margo.

I could see Cotto getting picked off he tries to fight from the outside, or busted up if he tries to come inside.

 

williams is a good fighter on the inside, but i think cotto beats him to the punch inside and is the better inside fighter. on the outside, it might be williams. cotto would have to worr about that straight left, but i think pw might have an adv over cotto stamina wise. i think cotto can outbox him, but pw would probably have him in bad shape in the late rounds, but it's hard to say at this point. i'd slightly edge in favor of williams

 

Williams is huge, bigger than Margarito, obviously packs enough of a punch, and has tremendous workrate.

I'm inclined to Pick Williams. I think the workrate breaks Cotto down.

 

Williams for me as well. Not that Williams isn't there to be hit, and he fights too much inside for my taste, but his workrate, stamina, and chin will have Cotto backing up all night. Late stoppage or decision for The Punisher.

 

Hopefully they will fight.
There is only one way to find out.
