Well if Paul comes in unfocused against Cotto, I'd pick Cotto by KO. You see how sloppy he looks when he's unfocused
Cotto I don't think Williams has the style to beat Cotto. Despite being a lot taller and entering fights big, Cotto is stronger, he's fast enough and smart enough to get inside and be more effective than Margarito was with his shorter, more precise punches.
Depends. If Williams fights by throwing a lot of light flurries and hugging everytime Cotto is going to get off then I think Williams wins a boring UD. It also depends if Cotto can psychologically recover from the Margarito fight. He may get discouraged if his punches do nothing to Williams, and if Williams decides to fight backing up. Really too tough to call right now. We need to see Cotto against a semi-decent opponent, and not a total tomato can.
Yep. A fight like this should happen in like 2009. If Cotto didnt lose by KO to Margo, it would be even bigger
mmmmm... Good point... I honestly think that Cotto's stock went down but not sure if that down I believe that people still wants to see him... I mean, let's give the guy sometime to see what happens and when he comes back, let's see what he changes. The big factor will be there...
Theres no doubt about it that his stock went down. Only person that could lose and their stock doesnt go down is DLH. But the reason why I say it wont be as big is because ppl will look at it like this: "Williams is facing the guy that got KO'd to a guy that he clearly beat." Now, I'm one of the fans that knows styles make fights and that fighters sometimes come back stronger and better than before, but not all fans know that.
True... Boxing is one of those sports where you can't just play the single line of elimination... One question... Why DLH is the only guy that can loose and his stock doesn't go down???
Cause he's Oscar, the money guy in boxing. Only way I see Oscar ever losing stock if he loss to like 3 major opponents in a row. Oscar is the only guy who can lose and his stock wont drop. If he fights and loses to PacMan and decides to come back, do you honestly think his stock would drop?
Cotto is perfectly capable of putting on a superior performance to what Quintana did to Williams, the problem is that Williams was not at his best vs quintana as was obviousl displayed in their rematch. If this fight goes the distance, Cotto wins, if not Williams wins. And that's a big if. I would put the odds on this fight at 60/40 in Cotto's favor.
