Cotto would be tough for anybody, but I think the huge Williams size advantage would carry the day and he'd win 116-112 type of decision.

I agree that Cintron is underrated, and I think he would be Williams toughest challenge in the division because he's a pretty big dude himself--5'11", I believe--and has a big time punch that could slow down or stop Williams. That would be a heck of a fight. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that is the next bout for these guys. The big money guys are going to duck them until they make bigger names for themselves. A unification bout between the two would be a great fight and set the winner up for one of the big names.


Have a cool click, and welcome to the forum. I realize the height and reach difference would be tough for Cotto to overcome, I just think if Cotto found a way to get inside Williams' long reach, he'd punish him to the body much worse than Margarito was ever able to do. Not an easy task, mind you, but doable for Miguel, IMO.
Thanks for the welcome.

Oh, Cotto certainly has the potential to hurt Williams, and a TKO win would not shock me. But I don't think he'll be able to put enough rounds in the bag to win on decision. It'd have to be via KO or TKO, IMHO.
