If Antonio Margarito beats Miguel Cotto there is probably a good chance that he and Paul "the punisher" Williams will do it again. Same result this time or does Margarito win? I personally think styles make fights and Williams is one guy who might have Margarito's number. AM has never seemed very eager to fight Williams and he basically was forced to fight him the first time due to the fact that WBO threatened to strip his belt if he didn't. Just recently he said he didn't know if he would fight Williams again which is strange because you would think he wants to avenge that loss.
That sounds plausible to me. Where does Arum go if Cotto loses though?
Wow. That's a good question LOL. But Jab, I would be willing to bet that he makes a rematch between Cotto and Margarito. Especially if it's as good as we expect it to be. He's going to get as money as he can out of both fighters before he losses stock in either of them. That's just my opinion. But I don't expect Cotto to lose this fight. As good a match-up as this is, my head is strongly telling me Cotto wins this fight. That's why I see Williams-Maragrito 2 around the corner.
If Margarito loses to Cotto, I think Arum goes for this fight. If he wins,no. But you're right, it is tough to call although I go with Williams again.

This is a tough call. I'd probably go with Williams. I think he would train harder and push himself more so he didn't fade down the stretch. His height aqnd reach would be aq problem for anyone at welter.

he got lucky, Williams doesn't have the power to stop a legit welter in one round, he just managed to land a GOOD SOLID punch. I can guarantee that a 3rd fight would have a different outcome. Remember he was completely outboxed in the 1st
So we're supposed to remember the first fight but forget about the second huh? hmmmmmm
He knocked out Quitana in one round like he was some tomato can off the street..please.

i dont think thats fair at all, mayweather was matched up much tougher than oscar was early in his career. I can actually remember being in high school and remembering commentary about how mayweather is being matchup to tough too soon, you may think oscar "paid his dues" but mayweather was being matched up with legit competition by his 18th fight. mayweather paid just as many "dues' as oscar, but mayweather is an asshole who has a certain expectation of entitlement, oscar has it also, but hes far more mature in how he goes about his buisness and handles himself.
That's a good point. I remember when there was talk that Mayweather was being put into his fight with Hernandez too quickly because he wasnt tested yet. His father said "Too fast? I don't think we're goling fast enough!
Because Oscar has paid his dues for a bit longer than Mayweather has.
Regardless, I don't like either of the cases.

Margarito and Mayweather would have fouht, if Mayweather stayed with Arum. Regardless of the intentions of Arum, Mayweather had the fight if he was willing. If Arum was just bluffing to make Mayweather look bad, Floyd should have called the bluff.
depends on how you look at it, the landscape of the fight game might have changed, instead of floyd having the linear championship, he would have had the WBO belt, then he would have fought DLH at 154, eventually, it probably would have been cotto sitting with the linear title right now, and in december, we might have seen mayweather/cotto.
I dont like it as well but there must be a reason why some people hate Arum, They are the one closer to boxing than We(The fans) so they know more than us in that aspect.
Because Don King has a murderous passed and because of his flamboyant look and attitude, he always gets more attention. But, I always thought Arum was right up there with him in terms of douche bags.

I agree Even oscar didnt want to fight Mayweather if Arum was going to be involve thats one of the reason Mayweather brought out his contract.
Oscar basically said to Mayweather leave arum and i would think about fighting you, Now Oscar didnt get any heat for saying it but Mayweather gets it for some reason.

Exactly...he just flat out told Cotto "Leave arum and I'll fight you".
Yet the sheep on ths site never mention that...they just follow everyone else....
"floyd ducked Cotto"
"floyd scared"
shut the fuck up.

A man fights who his biggest challenge is. A businessman worries about the details. You can be whichever you prefer. I really won't hate on either. But, I know who I'd rather be. Because if you're a truly great fighter on the superstar level that Mayweather is on, he'd have made the money and the legacy anyway. Instead, he went for only one of the two.
Yeah because it was definetly coming......
Marg will be the test for Cottos chin if he can take Marg shots then the Cotto chin myth is over.....
Williams vs. Cotto is a massacre for Williams.....easy fight.
18 inch reach advantage over Cotto.
7 inch height advantage.
Southpaw.
Never tires.
Never stops throwing.
Vicous power.
Fast.
Great chin and absorbs body punches well.
Cotto has no chance in hell versus Williams.
If that fight ever happens, I'd be willing to bet all the points I have at that time against the same amount of yours on Cotto. Without hesitation. Even with a loss to Margarito, for that matter.
But I thought you said Mayweather ducked him???
Thas not ducking...May doesnt fuck with Arum...simple.
THATS why he didnt fight Marg or Cotto.
He said it himself.
That's very true. Mayweather is also currently suing Arum for money owed.
Who do you just name...Mayweather???
My popint exactly.
Or, Cotto. His chin is perfectly fine at this weight, before you pull that one out.
It will be tested against Margarito, bu that wont prove much, regardless. Margarito hits hard. Lol.
