    Shut up Faisal, you dirty mangy hater! :rofl

    Anyways, for the OP:

    I always felt that Williams would give Cotto some trouble too because of the size and that if Cotto couldn't hurt Margarito he probably wouldn't hurt Wlliams either.

    :good

    I'm not saying this will happen, but fighters Cotto might of blown by now, will be harder because fighters have seen Cotto was able to be broken and that might have affected him mentally.

    I have a feeling Paul Williams is getting too old to cut the weight for 147. His last fight ended too early to tell, but when he fought Margarito you can see how much bigger his frame was than Tony's, it's no wonder he could take those punches. But if he is losing his ability to make the weight -(like Cotto at 140 and soon like Pavlik at 160), he'll be pickings for Cotto in a come back fight.

    Williams makes weight easily. He weighed in at about 154 on fight night in the Quintana rematch. His manager claims he can make 140. Williams claims he won't leave the division for good until he collects all the belts.

    I always worried about Williams because of the size advantage, he is bigger and faster than Margo. Employing a hit and move strategy wont work as well here for Cotto but I also doubt Will has the chin of a Margo. He can punch as good if not sharper than Margo because of his speed. I see this as tough scrap for Cotto because of the size and I dont know if Cotto would prevail.

    Clottey would be hard because of his build and toughness but I believe Cotto can beat Clottey however it would be tough.

    Maybe Williams, but that's about it. That includes recently retired "champs".

    It's okay. I wouldn't want any recently retired champs fighting Cotto. Their victory would be diminished as Cotto was broken by Margo before whoever beats Cotto next.
