He never knocked out Cotto before fighting Williams
So? He was the same quality of fighter at the time, unless you think at 30 years of age he all of sudden had a big improvement over the year that past between the Williams and Cotto fights.
Let me ask you this.

PW beat Antonio Margarito. He never entered P4P top 10 status.

Antonio Margarito all of a sudden beats Miguel Cotto.

Now PW enters the top 10 ?

It doesn't make sense because PW is entering on behalf of Margarito's win over Cotto.

Not because Paul Williams has followed up on that win, hell no. Being took to school by Carlos Quintana is hardly following up.

It's just stupid IMO.
