Williams is a good fighter but I believe Tony hits harder,has a better D and is far more experienced and has fought better fighters. People criticise Margarito's record of opponents,yet a.)it is getting better and b.) Williams has fought absolutely no one in 31 fights except shot Sharmba and Mathysse.And I wasn't saying wether Baldo has beaten better fighters,that wasn't the issue, IMO,Cintron would whoop Baldo and Clottey did beat his ass so I said,they are better fighters. And Baldo has beaten 2 NAME fighters,Gatti is a name,he's wasn't and never has been a great fighter. IF COllazo wins against Mathysse,he'll fight Cintron and if Kermit wins that,he'll have caught up to Baldo.

I agree Tony will be tested,a guy bigger than and can match his stamnia but Tony is a smart fighter and I expect him to prepare adequtely and win. I think the poor preparation for the Clottey fight should wake him a bit.
