Williams has so many physical advantages at 147, I'm afraid it is going to be very difficult for him ever to get a shot at the big names.
Naw if Williams doesnt hold when Cotto while he goes on the inside. Cotto will destroy Williams. Dont give Cotto little credit he deserves way more than PW.
Cotto is an excellent fighter, I'm not taking anything away from him. But, as they say, styles make fights. Cotto is about 5-7 inches shorter than Williams (again, depending on what measurements you believe). Williams pumps his long jab out relentlessly. How is Cotto going to get inside consistently when the taller Margarito couldn't? And, yes, Williams will tie him up some, just as all long-armed fighters do. Cotto is a clever fighter, so maybe he finds a way, but I just don't see it. In any case, he certainly doesn't destroy Williams. It would be a hell of a puzzle for Cotto (and anyone else at 147) to solve. If you think otherwise, I have to question how much of Williams you've seen. No one at 147 is going to destroy him.
