Miguel Cotto vs Paul "the punisher" Williams

paul back hands too much, cotto would chop him down

I think Cotto wins this fight by decision, although I think he can possibly win by stoppage also.

Paul Willimas will give tons of problems to Cotto and even PBF due to size, reach and work advantage. Then again, Quintana showed us a blueprint on how to fight and frustrate PW in their first fight. You got to be smart and constantly move. And everytime you get the chance, use your right cause PW loves to eat those. Cotto and PBF could win, but it is not an obviously awarded win.

Very easy, I dont think so - Quintana gave him trouble the first fight. Imagine what a Cotto would do Chop Chop Corley almost knocked Cotto out. Judah punched holes in Cotto's face. 36 year oldShane Mosley had Cotto backing up and holding in the later rounds Imagine what 6-2 Paul Williams would do. My point is that I never understand the logic of picking out one fighters worst moments against another fighters best. If I'm not mistaken, a better prepared Williams destroyed Quintana in a rematch which makes me wonder why the first fight is brought up more than the second.

Not even that. Is Paul good ? yeah I agree 100%. But If you put him in there with Cotto, where Cotto has a great body shot againest a guy who starves to make 147 and looking really skinny not having much fat or muscle on the ribs will get killed, but im not saying it wont be a competitve fight, I feel Williams jab and height will come into it, but Cottos bodyshot will win. fair enough. its all speculation until they lace em up and fight eachother. we'll know a lil bit more after the 26th when we can compare the cotto and williams' performance against a common foe. I know we all dont like triangle theories. I am just saying it will shed a lil bit more light.

BTW I got this sneaky feeling the Ricans dont like to give Paul credit. Not even that. Is Paul good ? yeah I agree 100%.

" Inside fighting decent - Body puncher not so much see I would have given your argument more weight if you would have given paul props for his inside fighting. I know you said decent which isnt bad, but it made it seem like you feel he is an average inside fighter but good for his height.

Cotto will truck Williams.

I'll play devil's advocate here, I got the Punisher winning a very easy UD or a mid to late KO Very easy, I dont think so - Quintana gave him trouble the first fight. Imagine what a Cotto would do

ask margharito if williams is a good body puncher or not? for his height and length williams is a very good inside fighter and a good body puncher." Inside fighting decent - Body puncher not so much

Williams isn't even recognized for his body shots and a fighter that tall trying to throw body shots to a guy Cotto's size leaves his head wide open for counter punches all day. As far as Shane goes, Cotto was back peddling and countering Shane with Shane giving him the "Ok you got me" nod. This excuse is getting as old as the chin talk. ask margharito if williams is a good body puncher or not? for his height and length williams is a very good inside fighter and a good body puncher.

Paul williams is a tree, an inmsanly tal fighter, but its comman knowlage that body punching is effecive against tall fighters...Who is the best body puncher in the sport? Miguel cotto/

cotto by brutal bodyshot ko

Lampley has been known to exaggerate just a lil........ Yes Lampley is a giant ass kisser, I almost yacked listening to him talk about Pacquiao the other day but never the less I can see williams giving problems to Cotto but it will gradually start to change once Cotto starts tearin up to ribs.

Williams will get hurt with a Cotto. Williams is a pretty tough fighter during the first 4-5 but soon as he starts to gas he becomes vulnerable big time. That might be true, but Margarito wasn't able to put him away. He wasn't even able to win the fight.

Cotto pretty much aggressed the whole fight the exceptions for a couple rounds when he hurt his hands. Even Lampley quoted Cotto that fight as being a force of nature. Lampley has been known to exaggerate just a lil........

Check the way he keeps his elbows too far from his body. It's a fundemental flaw in his style..that's why he had to RUN from Shane..he couldn't get it done on the inside. Williams will be on those ribs like KC MASTERPIECE. Cotto pretty much aggressed the whole fight the exceptions for a couple rounds when he hurt his hands.
