    he looked good cause margo was coming right at him....notice I alluded to this in one of my earlier post....pivoting on your front foot while using a lazy ass jab doesn't mean you can box better then Cotto...for christ sakes I can't believe we're having this arguement...yes Williams is a challenging opponent. He presents size and reach challenges that need to be over come. But that doesn't mean he's techniqally sound or that he can box better then an olympian with over 90 amateur fights, whose been boxing since the age of 6....come on dude get a grip.:patsch

    Yeah...Cotto has nuch better lateral movement than Williams and can fight much better on the inside. Williams is a very good fighter, but he isn't the complete fighter that Cotto is. Until he proves that he can overcome the adversity that Cotto has, he hasn't graduated yet.

    Sorry what you were implying was that Williams moves better then Cotto. Thats hallarious...cause if he could move so well then how come he was following Quintana around in a straight line all night. And as far as Williams being able to throw a wider variety of punches then Cotto, you need to watch more Cotto.

    Yeah no dis to Williams he's a tough nut to crack but you have to be real when assesing why he's such a tough nut to crack.. Its not cause of his amazing technique.

    Everybody finds the openings on Tony. That's nothing new.

    Chopping him down or outhustling him is the hard part.

    actually I'd disagree on this one. I have a feeling mental toughness goes to tony in this fight. I honestly didn't like the way Cotto fought mosely in the last half of the fight. He should have gone for the kill.

    Very impressive display of superior power, workrate, and conditioning more like it.That was another fight where Cotto simply outgunned his opponent, though I agree it was a boxing lesson so to speak. I referred to it recently myself. In actuality, it was a case of bigger stronger guy taking turns exchanging with smaller weaker guy.

    No actually I bring it up to illustrate a point. I then keep on the theme of he "can't move worth ****" by explaining why he didn't do too bad in the MArgo fight, dispite him not having great movement.

    And by all mean if you think you can get somewhere with them go a head and use every instance that Cotto has gotten tagged if you think its going to help you. I will be happy to tell u why its going to be hard for Margo to do the same to cotto.

    I'd also be happy to tell you what margo has that these fighters didn't that will help him tag Cotto.

    Infact I'd be happy to keep educating you in anyway I can. Im a great guy I know. Dont bother to thank me.

    Exactly, mental toughness is a big part of why Margarito is going to win.

    I didn't say that. Mosely's as sturdy as they come. Cotto never hurt him in the fight. But mosely's will proved stronger then Cotto's in that fight even though he lost. THats the point that I was trying to illustrate.....oh god I'm such a nut hugger.

    ...Cotto, will giove side to side movement to Margo similarly that Clottey did, he will go in and out, and will punish the body relentlesly from the 1str round....Margo will try to establish his jab and pressure and perhaps try to caught Cotto coming in with the upper cut, I am sure that Don Evangelista all ready has a solution to the upper cut issue, movem to the side and let Mrgo set his fett when ncoming in, coming from Mrgo right side...turning southpaw and pounding the right side of Margo.....
