In all honesty, this is how I see it playing out. And of course none of this has any basis in reality, but only in my own mind. It's not to far fetched though. If Williams-Wright doesn't happen, then I honestly envision Williams-Margarito II. If that happens I see pretty much the same result as the first fight if not wider for Williams.

If that happens, and Cotto wins a couple rebound fights then Cotto-Williams could happen and I see Cotto winning that, giving us a Cotto-Margarito rematch. That would be a dream scenario.

Margarito probably feels on top of the world right now and I'm sure will chase Oscar and Williams, I don't know how he shakes out with Oscar but for his sake he should stay away from the terrible style matchup that is Paul Williams.

Both guys coming out of two good wins, paul redemption against quintana and tony defeated cotto. I want to see a rematch between paul and tony.

I disagree amat, I do not think it will be a wider decision for paul and I do not thing its a terrible style matchup for tony.

Tony just started off slow in the first fight but he figured paul out at the end and imo could stop paul. I think tony beats paul in the rematch. tony just didn't come in as intense in the first paul fight. Now he has the fuel to beat pual down since he lost a close fight with him before.

He should avenge his loss with Williams and he will not make the same mistake again. Tony will start quicker and take him out next time;D

It's 100% De la Hoya for a number of reasons.

#1 Oscar brings more money to a fight with Toni IMO
#2 This fight is something where both guys can prove how great they are
#3 Toni is still vulnerable to being outboxed so a fight with Mayweather is not the right choice as Floyd can easily do better than Miguel in regards to movement and defense.


I think after watching the Cotto-Margarito fight that Miguel proved he could really pair up nicely vs Mayweather Jr. as he showed he could move well and still land with power and accuracy

its gotta be a williams rematch for Tony to cement beig the top guy in the division.

that is possible but not before a HUGE payday vs De la Hoya

I think any of the choices look good. But personally I think he should avenge his loss to Williams. An aggresive Margarito jumping out of the gate would steamroller Williams a 2nd time around, IMO.

I cannot picture Arum putting Margarito anywhere near Williams again. He knows what the risk is against Williams and will want to keep that belt in house.

You might see a Cotto rematch or a fight against the Clottey/Judah winner.

Oscar has already said that in no circumstances will he fight Margarito. He claims that he doesn't want his last fight to be against another Mexican as the Mexican fans will hate him.

In a perfect world for me, Margarito will win the De La Hoya sweepstakes and utterly DESTROY Oscar in December. Then after that, he should have a rematch with Paul Williams and take his belt. Then, take on Andre Berto and completely unify the division. At this point it would be IMPOSSIBLE for Floyd to avoid Tony! OR he can just claim he's ACTUALLY retired.

It would need an inspired effort from Margarito to pull this off but last night showed me he can do anything..

None of the above

cotto is clearly deserving of a rematch and marg should do the honorable thing and allow him one.

I genuinely now see a cotto-margarito-williams triangle of fights now just like it was barrera-morales-pacquiao and i can genuinely say it excites the hell out of me ;D;D;D

Really? I don't see it that way. If you recall, Margarito started slow against Williams, who built up an early lead with his busy workrate. But in the end, Margarito was beginning to pick up steam, and probably won the majority of the last few rounds... but is wasn't enough to give him the decision. He wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

I would not mind a Williams rematch but Rue Paul is going in a weightier direction It seems.Would not be shocked to see Williams at Jr middle/Middleweight soon.That was not a blow out but a very close fight with Williams boxing like A freak in the first 6 rounds and Tony coming on strong...as usual in the late rounds.

Berto has title and unifictaions are always nice but right now,regardless of handspeed and potential Berto would be well over his head and get beatup bad imo

Does anyone,in hindsight really still believe that tired line.."If Clottey did not injure his hand,He would have beaten Tony"...blah:bucktooth: seriously!

I think it will either be Mayweather or Delahypa.

I think its vital for Antonio Margarito to revenge his defeat to Paul Williams before he starts thinking of big pay day against Oscar De La Hoya and as for Miguel Cotto i think he should be left alone for awhile and let him redeem himself sticking him in with Antonio Margarito straight away just after the beating he received would be just like throwing him into the lions den...........

I just see Arum avoiding Williams because Williams takes away much of the advantages that Margarito has over everyone else. His size and punch output offer more than what Margarito offers, his chin might not be as good, but Margarito will not test it. The only advantages I see Margarito having are Stamina and Determination.

I'd like to see Tony fight Williams asap. I would imagine he wants to redeem himself from that loss last year against Paul. I would also love to see him fight Zab; which alot of people last year said would never happen, so I'm actually pulling for Judah to win so Tony can maybe get a fight with him and beat him out of the game. Berto's standing around as well, so maybe that fight will get made, though Berto better be ready or he's going to get trounced; by Tony or Cotto.


As for Cotto, maybe get another fight before he faces Tony again. He will need to build back up his confidence{assuming he lost any} before facing the one guy who broke him. I definately see a rematch, but I don't see it being in Cotto's best interest right now to jump right back in there with the Tornado.

I'd like to see Cintron/Cotto and I get the feeling that will be his next fight, maybe like a PR showdown? Again, Berto could possibly get a fight with Cotto, though I think Cintron, or the winner of Clottey/Judah, is the best bet for Berto right now imo.

Very thick in the WW department; lots of potential great fights.
