This is exactly how I feel about it.
Williams would maul Cotto, Miguel stands a far better shot against Martinez, even though Martinez is a better fighter than Williams.
And do you know why that is my friend?
Because styles make fights.
:dance:
Cotto/Martinez is a more evenly matched fight and would be quite entertaining if you think about it. Martinez moves but he likes to stand in and throw down in spots. He's not terribly busy either. I think Cotto could hurt him, he just has to stand up to what Martinez has to offer. Martinez would be favored and rightfully so, but Cotto would have a realistic shot to pull the upset. Martinez may be a late bloomer, but Cotto would be far different than anything he has seen lately.

williams fights small and has no defense, cotto beats paul by late stoppage(body shot) or by ud. sergio would be a tougher fight for cotto though and i dont see him beating sergio right now.
I'd really like to hear what Manny and Cotto think of a Martinez fight. I don't think he can win, but he'd at least make Sergio fight. The speed is something to worry about, and Martinez has crazy reach too for his height.
I've always felt Williams is too big for Cotto. Like a bigger and better version of Margarito.
Cintron doesn't deserve to be int he conversation. He's a joke. If he gets a fight, I'll be pissed.
isnt cotto about cintrons size? or was cintron a little taller?!?!
i know cintron was landing some nice flush shots on PWILL.... williams doesnt use his size like he should IMO so it wont factor in as big....
Cintron is about 3-4 inches taller and has a 7 inch reach advantage on Cotto.
Williams doesn't use his height really but his reach is always a factor especially when Williams has a 15 inch reach advantage. 15 inches is no joke lol.
Cotto would land some leather but he would have a tough time getting into range and when you add the pressure and output Williams applys, i can't see Cotto dealing with it.
Neither bro....
I want to see Cotto vs Margarito.....
This.
But to the thread Martinez would stomp Cotto but Cotto and Williams have an equal advantage.
Cotto fairs better against Williams because Williams is more stationary. Cotto beats Williams by bodypunching and Martinez beats Cotto by outboxing him.
about what i see as well... i see cotto v williams going either way.... but martinez, well, he gets him!
:boxing: :boxing:

if cintron can land on williams, i think cotto will too
TBH, i think cotto has a better shot against williams than martinez.... just off the top of my head
I think he has the better chance aginst Martinez because Martinez will run and box. Cotto seems to do good vs guys who move alot. And honestly Cotto would be the most skilled fighter Martinez has ever fought.
Williams would come right at him on some killer shit...lol. Pac and Marg are also easy to hit. The pressure is what did Cotto in.
I believe Cotto has a better chance of beating Williams than Martinez, Paul has very shaky defense, he’s prone to get cut, he tends to get sloppy, in all he has to many holes that would make him a target, Martinez on the other hand has the stamina, chin, punch and legs to keep Cotto of him and to take whatever Cotto has.
if paul used his height to his advantage he'd have an easy UD IMO but he doesnt... so its interesting

Im down for either fight....However its career suicide for Cotto.
They both stop him and most likely retire him for good.

Next?
Cotto vs Williams?

Hes in bad place vs. Both.
Martinez is the superior boxer with much better power than Foreman and hes a lefty. Martinez can outbox him.
Williams is Cottos kryptonite. Pressure. Cotto does not habndle pressure well. He would be in his shell too much vs. Paul. Then you throw on the fact that Cotto has had stamina problems that wont bode well vs. a guy who could go 20 rounds.
Cotto would be far wiser fighting Martinez than Williams based on the styles of each guy.
Williams is Cotto's worst nightmare stylistically based on his punch output and durability. When you also include Williams reach and size advantage, it appears Cotto can't win.
Martinez on the other hand is a mover which Cotto has shown he can deal with.
Based on Martinez's skillset, he would certainly be the best mover Cotto has faced and Cotto's chances of winning would still be small imo.
