De igual manera, Cotto dijo estar dispuesto a combatir con los peleadores elites de las 154 libras, como Paul Williams, el argentino Sergio Martínez y los mexicanos Alfredo “El Perro” Angulo y Antonio Margarito, si las condiciones son las correctas.

in the same way cotto said he is willing to battle with the elite fighters of 154lbs like paul williams,sergio martinez, and the mexicans el perro angulo and margarito if the conditions are correct(apropiate)
Williams is too hittable. I can see Cotto getting a UD against Williams. I can also see Williams beating Cotto by chasing him around the ring and throwing 100's of punches. No way is it a easy fight for either.
Martinez cruises to a UD victory over Paul and Cotto though.
I agree with the rest of your post but I dont agree with that. That's what Martinez tried to do to Paul in the first fight, Box and move and not get hit which was successful for the most part against Cintron and Pavlik but not against Williams. Williams makes you fight, The only way to beat him is to hit him enough to keep him off you which is pretty damn difficult. In the first fight Martinez fought as well as he possibly could and still lost, In the rematch I see Paul making some adjustments and winning more comfortably. Even though Martinez is a very good boxer I dont see him winning a rematch...
I think Cotto's next fight should and will be against Margarito. I think he needs to get that off his chest before going into another fight with a Mayweather or Pacquiao. To be honest id like to see him fight Angulo but I doubt it will happen because Angulo isnt promoted by Top Rank and Margarito is.
I dont see Cotto fighting Martinez or P-Will.
Both very bad style matchups for him IMO
Williams is too hittable. I can see Cotto getting a UD against Williams. I can also see Williams beating Cotto by chasing him around the ring and throwing 100's of punches. No way is it a easy fight for either.

Cotto will get in his shots, there is no question about it... but when it comes down to it I think Cotto will end up taking more punishment between to the two. Cotto will definitely use his timing and catch Williams.. but he isn't winning a UD over him..
Williams leans in a lot and doesn't always use his reach. I can imagine Cotto taking a step back and catching Williams. Not saying he would beat Williams but its a better chance then fighting Martinez
Cotto isn't a knock out puncher, though. He beats you by wearing you down, not by one punch knockouts... To me, he isn't knocking out Paul with one punch at 154lbs, and I can't see him winning a decision..

he can't beat them........he will get broken down against Williams and Margarito....and i can't see him beating Martinez with the foot speed he brings to the table.........
I don't like Cotto in a Williams matchup... Cotto doesn't have the defense to deal with 100 punches a round, and given roughly 7 inch height and 13 inch reach disadvantage, I don't think that fight ends well for Miguel at all.
I think Martinez beats him as well. Cotto's best bet is to hope Martinez, being 35, slows down during the fight enough to make him fight. Those middle rounds when Martinez slows down could make it a decent scrap. I'd still favor Martinez for sure, but I don't think he takes the same beating as a Williams fight.

williams is hittable against boxers who use effective footwork and move their heads. clinching will help as well. cotto's footwork seems to be much improved but he doesnt exactly slip punches. he gets hit with just about everything and williams throws just about everything. bad matchup for cotto.

It went down in the Cintron fight, because they wanted to box the first few rounds and heat it up in the middle rounds... They went into that fight with a different gameplan than normal, him and his trainer both discussed it.
o aight thanks for clearing that up.
but williams production has gone down recently? right don't quote me but i think it has. Not hating on pwill i like him

I'll believe that when I see it. Cotto always talks a good game but talk is cheap.
yeah cotto resume is terrible bunch of no names. please stop the cotto hating, and that "soft" player in your sig sucks. VC equals choke time in a big spot.
I think he has a better chance against Paul Williams than he does against Martinez.

well, he already seems to be at the end of his career. why not throw it away in the next couple of fights?
he won't be fighting normal opponents if he dares step in with those guys. the way williams and martinez and angulo are willing to fight is dang near close to shortening their life, forget their careers. cotto has already absorbed enough terrible punishment seven pounds south. to rush in their with them is unwise.
I think he has a better chance against Paul Williams than he does against Martinez.
Me too. I think he beats Margacheato and Williams, but loses to Martinez because Martinez is too slick and too fast.
