Who wins the Cotto - Judah - Margo - Williams mini tournament.

[ono]

good points from everyone. Either way, does anyone think Floyd will fight the winner of this tournament? Even if the winner is....dare I say...Margarito?

It's hard to say none of these guys don't deserve a shot when you consider Baldomir, Gatti and Mitchell all got one before De La Hoya. I think Floyd would look pretty comfortbale beating all 4 of the guys in the mini tournament to be honest. Maybe Cotto and Williams have more of a chance of making it quite competitive.

I think this is great. It hard to say for sure who will come out on top. If it was a round-robbin instead of a tournament most likely each fighter would lose at least one fight and win at least one fight.

There are so many questions that will be answered.

In the first round of fights:
Judah is probably better than Cotto but will he keep his cool once he starts getting tagged? Will Cotto be able to handle Zab's speed and power? Is Margarito overrated? Are we expecting too much from the young Paul Williams?

In the second round:
If Williams wins will he be able to handle a totally different style from another A fighter that is Cotto or Zab?

If Margarito wins what can he do with a fighter with much more experience and skills in Zab or a fighter with just as much hart and determination as he does in Cotto?

If Zab wins how will he coup with the long reach and power of Williams or Margarito?

If Cotto wins does he have what it takes to become the next great puertorrican champion by beating a bigger, stronger and just as hungry Williams or Margarito?

These is just matchmaking at its very best. I hope they go all the way through with it and I hope we get to see many more match ups like this. It can only be good for boxing.

Actually, wasn't Zab the one that turned and looked into the audience instead of spinks?

From what I remember, Spinks just stopped dead looking at the referee and Zab clocked him with a hard left...but I'll watch it again to see.

[chuckyboy481]

cool let me know. I thought i remembered it that way but we'll see.

[Tito BHB]

Lol..Your all wrong!! LOL.. Zab walked away from spinks in i believe the tenth round of theyr first fight and looked out at the crowd and as he turned round spinks stepped to him with a southpaw right hook

Lol..I had him winning that round before he gave spinks a bit of fire to steal the round..And granted thats what he did.. Got pissed off with zab and stole the round

[chuckyboy481]

Sweet, i was right.

I think what you was thinking was when joe cortez was breaking them up or telling them to split and judah was smiling at the referee when he clocked spinks in the tie?

This is how i see it

Williams vs Margarito = Margarito by tko
Castillo vs Hatton = Hatton by ud
Cotto vs Margarito = Margarito by ud
Hatton vs Cotto = Cotto by tko

I personally think Cotto will beat everyone at Welterweight unless Mayweathers moves back down and Mosley retires.


And i included Hatton because i personally think he will win and move up will be surprised if he don't.

I think Floyd beats Cotto & Mosley would be a great match-up.
I think Margarito tops Williams.
I pick Castillo to dethrone Hatton.
If Floyd stays retired & Mosley retires then Cotto/ Margarito would be for the vacant championship. I'd pick Cotto over Margarito!

Great picks I agree with all of them, although I can't see how you can say that Cotto will beat anyone at welterweight except Floyd, and then pick Margarito to beat him when they fight later this year

Basically it depends how good Paul Williams proves to be against MArgarito, at least imo... If he can beat Tony, then he will could have a shot at taking Cotto out, assuming the match comes forward. For the life of me I cant see Margarito beating Cotto though. Miguel does everything better, he'll blast Tony out of there late.

[Puya]

You know what After the Margo and Williams fight and the winner fights Cotto and then he pulls another W

I want to see HAtton vs Cotto at 147 if ricky can go as far as 175 between fights there has to be NO problem for him to weight 147 in a fight.

He DOES NOT do everything better than Tony. Tony's stamina is better.He applies more pressure and is better at cutting off the ring. The shot which Cotto looked open to v Judah,the uppercut,i one of Margarito's money punches,and he cna use both his right and left hands for it. I'd say it's 50-50 BUT if Cotto does not improve his defence,I'd favour Tony,especially as I think he hits harder than Zab too.

Cotto would break PW in half.
