Seems like Tall Paul is the only one left out of the loop begging to fight anyone of them. Begging to fight lessor fighters. Margo vs Cotto would be good. Floyd is on suspend mode. Cant wait for him,he is good though. I dont hate him but he is proceeding with caution like everyone else except Paul.
Tony is certainly a matchup nightmare for Cotto. His best punch is Cotto's biggest weakness. I rate Cotto's chances to be a little better against Floyd than Tony has, but Margarito is dangerous man, especially to Cotto. I think he gives PW a serioius beating if they ever rematch. He just gave those early rounds away, and he could never make it up.

I would take Cotto to beat Williams. Williams might have the reach, but Cotto has better timing. Williams will find his jab getting countered often and he'll eat a surprising amount of jabs from Cotto as Cotto jabs his way in to get to Paul's ribs. Small fighters can outjab, or jab enough, guys with reach advantage and IMHO, Cotto can hit Williams with jabs more than Williams will ever expect. Cotto is a more complete fighter than Williams and I betting that he could turn physical disadvantages in to advantages.
Excellent Post!!! I too think Margarito presents major problems to Cotto. I also agree that Cotto should beat Williams. People are getting all in awe of Williams size and reach, but although he is an interesting fighter, Cotto has proven much more at this stage. I'd love to see a Margo-Williiams rematch, so we can put all this Williams will dominate every welter talk to bed.
