i had read an article that williams trainers had said that williams knocked out quintana in only one round but it really took him 13. cotto did it in 5. i like williams but i think he needs another fight before the #1 ranking.
It is hard to tell where Williams stands or what level he is at. He blew Quintana out last time which was very impressive, but because of that, it is hard to tell if he has corrected much of his flaws that Quintana exploited in their first fight.
Time will tell where he stands, but I will say he will be a tough opponent for anyone, including Cotto. He seems to have a cast iron chin, but he takes a lot of shots, which will not be good in the long run.
Wiliams vs Quintana III needs to happen in the future....Williams looked great knocking out Quintana in the 1st round, but people seem to forget that Quintana schooled Williams and gave him a boxing less just a few months ago.....It's 1-1 now, a trilogy needs to happen.
Nobody has forgotten. But people haven't remembered that Williams took a pounding the entire night with a really bad cut and still kept coming. If you don't like him or think he's good cool. But come on this guy is one of the toughest fighters in the sport.

Paul Williams got schooled by Quintana the first time and it wasn't even close. The second time he caught Quintana and now he's the second coming of Mike Tyson. Cotto didn't need 13 rounds to beat him, he got the job done right the first time.
The big difference between Cotto and Williams is that, when Williams has a bad night he gets his ass whipped and when Cotto has a bad night he still knocks people out.
Hmm, like I posted in an earlier thread, im sure Williams is going to get stuck for a while on mandatories because im sure Cotto, Marg, Mosley and Oscar are not willing to fight him still, im sure the only one who would step in a ring with him again is Quintana. Besides the win over Quintana doesn't really he's the greates WW because Quintana, dont forget, got destroyed by Cotto first, and Quintana exposed Paul Williams weaknesses. Williams camp say they want Cotto, if Cotto does to him the same he did to Mosley, he would win easy.

No, it took him one round.
Did you watch the fight????
:thinking: how did I get owned?
It's a rough style match up. If anyone can knock Cotto's block off it's Maragrito.
This fight will be a close fight.
I think Cotto has an easier fight with Williams then Margarito though.
I will say I don't think Margarito beats Williams in a rematch.
No I meant the avy. I am just amped at coming back from the vacay to seeing all the new news.
exactly that was my point. williams is a very good fighter with some amazing physical attributes. fight one more top ten guy, then he definately deserves the chance for the #1 spot, thats all i'm saying.
my bad for not putting the quote earlier but here it is:
"Cotto fought Quintana and it took him five rounds (to subdue him) ... Paul stopped him in the first two minutes," Peterson added. "Cotto is now one of the best fighters in the welterweight class, and he's the only one that's undefeated, but we're prepared for that."

Yep now this sound more better, that doesnt make sense coming from Williams trainer, you cannot just forget the first fight because yor fighter won the rematch by KO...Williams and Quintana are still 1-1 and it was suppose to be 1-0 in williams favour, if he beats him again to make it 2-1 then we can talk.
I don't recall getting abusive.. :thinking:
Am not directing my post at YOU lol, i just read alot of abusive post from some certain cotto fans which were uncalled for.

What Cotto fans are abusing you?
Tell me who they are and I will E slap the noise out of them.
;)
lol its okay, i just feel like we could discuss boxing without getting abusive over it. we all have different opinion on different things and people need to realise that.
So?...............Williams is definitely not number one yet, he needs more fights against the top 5 in WW, Cintron,clottey,berto,judah etc are still there and am sure they wouldnt mind fighting Williams at the moment, if he can get victories against 2 of those 4 names then he can push for the cotto fight if cotto beat Margarito.
Pretty much hit it on the head here. The only thing is that there are some who have tried to blow the win out of proportion which creates the whiplash of some trying to discredit it.
Its a good win for PW's like you said, but he should fight 1 or 2 other top guys. Possibly a rematch with Quintana who I think deserves one but if not he should not regress to Mitchell caliber fighters at this stage in his career.
Why do cotto fans get so abusive about anything that relates to cotto? i dont understand it!!! Not all of them though but most of them, show some class like Cotto does.
