cotto vs williams: will it ever happen?

If Cotto beats Tony and there's not an immediate rematch, it makes sense for him to face Paul. Williams looked good at WW in the Quintana rematch and could probably stay there for a lil while longer. The luster of a Cotto fight and the chance to be the WW king might entice Paul not to jump up in weight just yet. If Tony wins, the fight may not happen cuz Paul already beat him and might not feel it's necessary to hang around WW anymore, even if a 2nd win over him would be bigger than the 1st one was.

Hopefully it will happen somewhere down the line, if Cotto wins I don't think it will happen this year though because I think Cotto will fight DLH but hopefully next year.

it depends,i think if oscar fights pac,he'll fight him.

No. Cotto won't fight him. Cotto will fight Oscar instead.

but if Clottey wins the belt it will be him no matter who the winner is this saturday

not with williams moving up. If he stays at 147 or can somehow come back it will eventually. Williams just have to win his next fight, no matter who the name is

I can see it happening somewhere down the line.

Protect him from Williams? IMO Cotto would beat him easilly.

What is Arum protecting Cotto from? Williams isn't this unbeatabl guy anymore and he seems to be wanting to fight today's Middleweights, so if that's what he wants to do then fuck it. I seriously doubt they're worrying or even thinking about Williams vs Cotto now considering Oscar is still in the picture though he's throwing around the Pacquiao vs Oscar fight heavy (which I think is still BS to generate more interest) i didn't mean protecting as in williams is expected to beat cotto. but if they did fight it would be problematic for cotto I think.

if he beats margarito as expected. who will arum be putting cotto up against? there's only so many fights to be made. how long can arum protect cotto from williams?

Well... Williams is talking of moving to 160, so it might not happen. And if Paul does stay at Welter i would guess he would want to get a few title defenses first.
