    Default Should Miguel Cotto Fight Paul Williams ??

    I know a lot of people see Cotto as the only Welterweight Mayweather needs to fight. But imo Williams will be a harder fight for Mayweather than Cotto would, Cotto's patient aggression would work well against Mayweather similar to how Castillo's patient aggression worked. Cotto also has a good jab and he uses it to good effect to close the distance between himself and his opponent, the only problem with that is that Mayweather counter's the Jab with his money punch the right hand, but i still see Cotto giving Mayweather a lot of problems. As for Williams first off his Height, Reach, would give Mayweather all sorts of problems add that to Williams amazing work rate and the great angles his uses on the inside, and Mayweather has got all sorts of trouble, i do think Mayweather would be able to counter Williams with good effect but Williams does take a great punch i really don't think Mayweather would be able to keep Williams off but it would be interesting to see how Mayweaher would try and figure out Williams.

    I would love to see Cotto fight Williams the only problem is that i don't think Cotto's team would risk it. But it would be fantastic match up the key for Cotto would be the body shots, Williams is tall and skinny so i don't think Williams would take a great body shot, and as for Williams the key for him would be use his jab and combinations, use angles on outside and keep Cotto guessing. The only problem i see is that Williams like's to get in there and slug it out too much, but Williams does take a great punch and Cotto has never fought anyone with the work rate of Williams so it would be interesting.

    I see Williams as one of the best Welterweight's in the world. Only behind Cotto and Mayweather, in a perfect world i would love to see Cotto vs Williams slug it out to see who truly is the best Welterweight to fight Mayweather, another problem is if this match up did happen and Williams won i couldn't see Mayweather fighting Williams.

    No-one wants to fight Paul Williams except Margarito. Cotto's team and Arum have never even mentioned Williams name.

    Thats what im worried about El Gamo, i think Williams may be forced to move up to Lightmiddleweight. Although Forrest vs Williams is an appealing fight to me.

    Yea its hard to know at this stage how good Williams is , but a fight with Cotto would be good.

    If Williams beats Cintron and rematches against Margarito the winner of that fight will be impossible for Cotto to avoid imo, especially if Floyd doesn't fight next year.

    Cotto v Williams to happen and the winner to face Floyd would make perfect sense.

    No way Mayweather goes near PW:WAAAAY too high risk,low reward. The guy is not a draw either which seems to be Mayweather's main criteria.

    Williams hasn't got the punching power to KO Cotto.

    Well someone needs to fight Williams, and I'm hoping Margarito gets a chance to avenge his loss. Whether he can do it, who knows?

    I would actually favor Williams in a fight against Cotto. I thought Margarito was a big WW, and look how much trouble he had with Paul, slow starting or not. Cotto is what; 3-4 inches smaller than Tony. He'll have fits trying to get inside PW, and won't be able to sit out and outbox PW, IMO.

    I hope we don't have to wait around until Cintron's camp figures out what they are going to do and when they plan on doing it; not fair to PW, the fans or the sport. I don't think Cotto will shy away from PW, but it is high risk. And if Floyd avoids any of these guys it's Williams, IMO.

    If Mayweather takes a break like he has claimed. Cotto should absolutely fight
    Williams. Having a unified WW title would be enough fame for the winner to
    force PBFs hand.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
