Quintana's Win Over Williams Speaks to The Greatness of Cotto AND Mayweather

Very well put. This is what I like about Mayweather. He has the ability to just "ovecome". Even in his fight with Hatton, it was rough going for the first half, but you could see inch by inch Floyd just took charge... and I think in Round 8 it was a ruthless beating - then the knockout in Round 10. He just perseveres in tough conditions. Very mentally strong. Up there with the best of all-time for his mind.

 

You are right in a sense that his loss shows that Mayweather is without a doubt, on top of the welterweight division.

The reason it gets so much hype is because all of these guys:

WILLIAMS
QUINTANA
MOSLEY
MARGORITO
CINTRON
JUDAH
BERTO
COTTO

Are all legitimate contenders for the belt, which gives us a division like it used to be in the 40's-60's. A division stocked full of contenders, with one champ.

Floyd mayweather is the champ, and what no one is saying is that, all these guys may not be as good as him, but they could still provide interestesing matchups that could prove for some interesting competition in the WW division.

 

yeah, and let's not forget he fought castillo with a dislocated shoulder. his flashy persona sometimes leads people to think he lacks heart, but this is simply not the case

 

Mayweather might eventually lose, but remember, he's well past his best weight.

 

All Max Kellerman showed as his love affair with Miguel Cotto. While Cotto is a great up and coming fighter, and a great person, he still has to beat Mayweather to prove he's the division's best. Putting the differences of fans or reasons why the fight will/won't happen, it's obvious that Paul Williams isn't as great a fighter as many thought. For one, he beat Margo in a tough, close fight, and suddenly sites around the globe were billing him the next Thomas Hearns.

For what? Beating Margo -- a guy most thought was tough, but not great in the first place? Williams will be a player in the division -- one loss won't end his career, however, people need to step back from the hype machine that built this guy up. All we heard about was how he was 6 feet 2 inches and how he would anniallate Cotto and destroy Mayweather.

Well, we saw what a 5 foot nothing guy did against him, and how he faired against Cotto. Is there any question how he'd do against PBF?

I don't think so. Personally I hope that Williams rebounds strong, but for now lets end this talk of him being the "Most avoided fighter in the division."

 

Kellerman never said or suggested that Cotto is the division's best. Mayweather is the best, and Kellerman pointed out - rightfully so, that Cotto is a level above all the others aside from Mayweather.

 

people are hyping up cotto so much now, he is a great fighter, the 2nd best welterweight in the world, but flamboyant floyd would chew him up and spit him out

 

And this win also proves how in experienced Williams is !


How in the world could people have ever thought Williams could ever have beat MW ..Or Cotto for that matter ..

 

I wonder if you have both PBF's nuts in your mouth, or just one..hmmm:huh

 

Williams is a bunch of hype. I though Margarito beat him and would knock him out in a rematch, but Williams refused to give Margarito a rematch.

Quintana beat Williams, exposed him and someone will knock Williams out in the future. The fight was not even close. What fight was Lederman watching?! Commentators were so damned biased for Williams, but Lederman was insane and blind!

 

but sheeple you all forgot that Floyd once again cherry picked a Baldomir and bypassed all all these tough guys:bart

 

I agree PBF needs to fight a prime WW like Cotto not an old DLH or LWW Hatton
