Tony is the man, I hope cotto is ok.
Oddly enough...I don't see him as the best welter. I treally believe that he's just one of the strongest...strongest doesn't always equate to the best.
I also don't feel that a Williams rematch is in Margarito's best interest.
We shall see though.
Truly...I believe that Cotto was just to short for the height/reach/power of Margarito. You have to give the man his due for taking what he has & making it work.
Williams is cut from the same cloth as Margarito as far as advantages go.
There are just some things that one should realize in this game...a reach advantage is as big of an advantage as a power play. If you work off of systematically wearing down your opponant but can't reach him...what good is your power?
None.
All of your advantages are negated & you end up taking shot after shot after shot...just as valiantly as Cotto did...just as brutally as Margarito dished out.
Again...I gotta leave you with the note...both men (like them or not) came to win & in the end...both men made the bout what it was...boxing's best.
I was impressed with both men & won't forget this one for a bit.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
