    And as good as Margarito supposedly is he sure didn't expose that frail body:think

    You act as if Winky is trash or something?:patsch He's former P4P #2 fighter in the world and only lost his spot in the top 10 by being inactive. If Winky still has anything left I would favor him over anyone in boxing 160 and down:deal Winky is a great fighter and very well could give Williams a boxing lesson but it wouldn't be the first boxing lesson he gave out ask Mosley and Tito. Just like I said there would be no shame in Cotto losing to Williams like wise for Williams if he losses to Winky.

    You said it. He flings his jab out there but it doesn't really matter though as long as he landing with it and scoring with it, the power behind it is irrelevant.
    Cotto slipped Margo's punches as iof that's some sort of accomplishment??? Old man Shane looked like Pea Whitaker against that broken down windmill. He won't be slipping Williams punches who has faster handspeed and comes from more angles and more frequently than Margo's did.

    Again, Margo is a slow plodding fighter. Take into account that PW was the same height so it was harder for Margo to hit the body with great precision. Cotto is right in PW's chest cause of the height.

    I'm glad you just said that PW would be coming in. It plays itno Cotto fight plan of getting in his chest and pounding those exposed ribs of his. Great fight plan hey?

    You must also take into account the reach advantage Williams has. He won't be right there. He will have to go through hell to get there.:deal

    Yea but PW doesnt use tha reach does he. He never keeps anyone at bay with his jab. He lets all fighters get in on him. Even that scrub Phillips landed clean shots on PW.

    I'm on my phone but I'm suggesting nobody else argue with joker or varg.... No disrespect to them but they are supporting their latin fighters.... In reality they are the only 2 people in this thread to have tried to make realistic cases of cotto winning...while everyone else agrees pw would win and win convincingly... To be honest pw @ welterweight should never lose... Has he lost before yes.... But when paul williams is on his A game nobody @ welterweight stands a chance.... This matchup shouldn't be a black vs latino thing... Its a style matchup and the particular style that pw has is bad news for cotto

    WeLL With those damn bricks in Tony's gloves for the Williams fight he shoulda been able to expose Paul's "supposed" frail body...

    Look man Ive been boxing for 9 years and I've sparred taller fighters...Juss because there lean and skinny don't mean that they don't have no muscle...COTTO IS TAILOR MADE FOR WILLIAMS!! TOO TALL AND TOO BIG!!! COTTO WILL CHOOSE NOT TO CLINCH AND HE WILL BE EATEN UP WITH 100 PUNCHES PER ROUND IF NOT MORE..LETS ALSO NOT FORGET THAT PAUL HAS MUCH BETTER DEFENSE THAN TONY AND HAS ALOT MORE "TECHNICAL BOXING SKILLS" PAUL KNOWS WHAT AN ANGLE IS..HE KNOWS HOW TO BLOCK PUNCHES WITH HIS GLOVES AND NOT HIS CHIN..HE ALSO KNOWS NOT TO CROSS HIS FEET...:deal

    WTF? :huh

    I supported Shane over Margo and Pac over every Mexican legend there is.

    I don't have a preference for what race vs. race. I'm calling like I see it. I honestly feel Paul Williams has done NOTHING to earn my respect for his "talent"...I enjoy watching. He's exciting. He's good for boxing. But he's got too many flaws that aren't being exposed properly because of his **** opposition.

    Once he gets in there with Winky, I'll have either a stronger case as to why Williams is overrated or a better perception of just how good P.Will is.

    You have your bias because he's your fav. I have mine because Cotto is mine. And everyone else just makes the quick assumption because he's big as ****.

    I'm look beyond the tale of the tape. Williams, in my eyes currently, doesnt have the skills to beat Cotto. He'll definitely put him through some serious ****, but I think he will overcome those obstacles and come out victorius.

    My bad I mixed you up with some of these other clows who just support a fighter or dis like a fighter cause of race..... its not even about pw being my favorite.. That's irrelevant.... So explain to me how what margarito did to cotto and got away with victory that paul williams won't be able to do... My bad again I mixed you up for jokesters like the fox and 2cents who claim margarito did cheat still...

    Thats nice that you been fighting for 9 years. Guess what though? I'm been doing the same for 12 years. its no given cause a fighter is a tall fighter that he always wins. Tyson, Liston, Rocky, all beat taller fighters. So too did Floyd in Oscar and Chico. As for PW having better defense, it didnt play out that way against slow margo or light hitting Q did it. Show me a fight where PW did not get hit really good. There is none. Even in his win against old man Phillips he was getting tagged.

    Why even continue this for. We can go on and on for the next ten pages or so and we will not change our minds about it. The agrguements are great but neither of us will fold.








    But dont forget, Cotto ko's PW late in the fight lol....

    More skilled=Cotto, h2h= Williams, the size diff is way to big,once Williams fight someone his own size and is at least a B level fighter, like Cotto have been doing, he will get soundly beaten.
