    From my point of view (Margo Fan) Williams did what he had to do to win the first fight. Something that Cotto could never do. WIlliams outworked Margo from the first round, clinched, and moved with distance. He didnt try to hurt Margarito because he knew from the beginning that he coudnt. Williams also knew Margarito was a slow starter so he took advantage of the first couple of rounds. I dont think Williams is a better "fighter" but I do think he had a better gameplan. Lets hope we get to see this fight again its gonna on.

    Williams is the better fighter. He already proved that in the ring. If Margo wants to prove he's better, he needs to fight him again.

    They have already fought, and Williams won. Although I think Margarito would win in a rematch, until then Williams is the better fighter.

    I think it's very hard to say who is better.:?

    Toe to toe: Paul Williams.

    Accomplishments: Tony Margarito.

    Overall: Very close, but I'd say Williams.

    williams the better boxer, margrito the better fighter. but it's really right down the middle. if these guys fought 10 times it would probably end 5-5.

    but Williams also lost to Quintana, and MArgarito has a knockout win over Cotto. That counts for something.

    When i say who is the better fighter i mean who is better at the profession of boxing.

    This perversion of the word "boxer" really bothers me.

    Pw. He has defeated/faced all the top WWs. Look at his resume and it will show you who the better fighter is. NOT!!

    Please there has to be a reason why he just wants to fight world champions and no contenders. In case he gets schooled he lost to a champ not a contender.
