He wanted nothing to do with Paul Williams. Thats a stone cold fact.
because he doesn't bring shit to the table, he can't draw flies to shit. NOBODY showed up for Williams-Wright and Williams-Martinez didn't do as well as HBO hoped. If he becomes a bigger name, maybe more name fighters will take the risk and fight him. I really don't think he's as good as people say he is anyway.
LMAO at Cotto ducking Williams. But those same idiots(Burner and Kevin and a couple more) are Maywether fan girls. At that same Mayweather said he wouldnt fight Cotto, because Cotto live in PR, LMAO.
I'm a Cotto hater. And I don't really have any love for Floyd. :stooges:
nope, he simply fought the bests...........
It's funny you call somebody a punching bag when every elite fighter Cotto got in the ring with the other opponent landed over 60% of their power punches on him.
Miguel Cotto started his career at 140. The least he could do is fight the top guys just 1 weight class above him. This is like praising Mayweather for fighting the best at LW.
Miguel Cotto was also never 95lbs like Mayweather's lil brittle ass..so it's not like if Mayweather was as stocky as Cotto and started a career at 140 he would be in the 168lb tournament right now..he would go up maybe 1 or 2 weight classes as well..

Kev,
When Cotto fought Shane was he ranked higher than Williams at the time? I do know Shane was more money, and more exposure. But, I am not sure if he was ranked ahead of P-Will at the time. I know Shane was coming off a very good win against Collazo.
But, anyways can you tell me who did Cotto fight instead of fighting Williams?
The timing was really never right for them to fight at all.

Like someone said earlier in this thread..
Paul Williams has the worst of both worlds..he's most definitely one of the most dangerous at WW if he could still make it..but..he also doesn't bring shit to the table..he has 0 drawing power..
I wouldn't call that ducking..I'd call that smart business..Mayweather on the other hand..
I gotta admit tho, when P Will trashed Winky I was happy. Winky is the most boring, no punching power having, low output giving, one trick pony in the history of boxing. I give him his respect for his accomplishments, But he fights like turtle and throws his right hand like a girl.
Haha, you never cease to amaze me.
Cotto was planned to fight Margarito. Williams upset Margarito and called Cotto out. Cotto, instead, opted for a fight that was just as tough and a much bigger money fight.
After Cotto got beatdown by Margarito is it really reasonable to expect him to fight a monster like Williams coming off that loss?
See this is your problem. You don't know enough about the events that transpired over that time period to speak knowledgeably on the subject. You go "well at one point they were number 1 and number 2", but you fail to understand the circumstances surrounding the time period.
Of course Williams was calling out Cotto when Williams was a nobody, it's easy to in that position. Cotto instead fought Shane Mosley, it's not like he took an easier opponent. There was never a point where the fight was feasibly going to happen. Never.
I Respect Paul Williams. I dont think he's as awesome as I see alot of people making him out to be on this site, tho. In a alot of his fights I see him being countered fairly easily and getting hot flush. He"s like a another Margarito with a little more pep in ways, "Take shots keep comming keep throwing" I feel as if he needs some more top notch oppisiton before I become a fan. If he fights the right type of fighter, I could see him getting hurt seriously or looking really bad.
They're just talking shit. Cotto fought Clottey, Tony, Shane, and Judah.
He ain't scared of nobody.
I don't think he could beat Williams though, but only cuz' I think Williams doesn't belong at WW.
Dude is a damn MW to me.
lol yeah he is a damn freak.
Because it never happened. Their career trajectories were totally different.
Cotto was frying bigger fish when Williams came along.
exactly, but williams fans just want to say that cotto ducked him. Where is the proof???? Look at his damn resume to me it's the best ww resume out there. Williams fans think paul is some type of fregin machine and lets be honest here yes he is a good fighter yes he throws a lot of punches but he's beatable. True you have to be on your A game to beat him but I think Miguels A game is enough to beat him just my opinion. By the way I like paul williams his fights are fun to watch and I hope he beats the shit out of cintron on may 8. To me a miguel cotto vs. paul williams fight at 147 would be one hell of a fight just my opinion.
YOU FAIL
You wrote a whole bunch of jiberrish, why did you even wast your time?
fact is Cotto ducked Paul Williams
OK show me the facts that Cotto ducked Williams?
Fck outta here.. Williams is NOT strong enough to stop Cotto period. Cotto would have eaten that ribcage up and folded him. Let's stop pretending Paul Williams is anything but a guy who beat Quintana. He looked like a bitch against Martinez fr the record.
I know you are trying to sleep at night but do us all a favor.. keep it real. Cotto is NO duck. That is Mayweather's title. Cotto will fight ANYBODY. His personality is such that he feels he can beat anyone. No psychological cowards here.
And why... why do you have an avatar of a sweaty black man who claims to have banged other men? Why?
haha
........
Why did you duck my post?
Why do you nitpick Cotto for the 1 guy you perceive he ducked instead of giving him credit for fighting 9 out 10 guys in the division.
Including 2 of the toughest in Tony and Shane.
Why don't you give him credit as one of the guys who fought damn near everyone in the division??
In such fast amount of time no less.
:nonono:
Dap read my back and forth with him....it's quite comical.
Williams offered Margarito $1.2 million in the first fight which was his highest payday up to that point and then offered $4 million for the rematch. Fail.
Who is talking about Margarito? I don't understand you man....
Ok, I agree that he can't beat PWilly....but what does that have to do with the point?
Cotto never ducked Williams. And saying they at one point were number 1 and 2 in a division loaded with talent and big money fights isn't proof that he ducked him.
End of story.
