Paul Williams vs Miguel Cotto: Who Wins?

[josenoway]

cotto wins by KO...it's obvious paul lacks D and being 6'1 (he's gotta be taller than that, he looks more like 6'3), he's got a ton of body to target. cotto is going to wreck him by the 6th.

After last night I don't know. If Williams can make it 12 rounds without being knocked down I think he can win a fairly easy decision. Of course that is a BIG if...Cotto is in better position as a shorter guy to pound that body and he has slightly better defense than Margarito. On the other hand if Williams learns how to shoot the jab with just a little bit of authority Cotto might be on the other side of it the whole fight. If they fight my opinion might change but right now I just can't go against Cotto.

Huggers can't beat Cotto, so Cotto wins. Did you see zab judah's tactics as he was hugging and running? What happened to him? And when ever zab judah hugged, cotto still kept throwing.

get real williams wasnt hugging or running. He took advantage of his long reach and pumped straight shots at margarito all night...

[Kobe Bryant]

Cotto D is not that great either. But it's all opinions I say Williams though. We would all be lucky to get to see this fight.

I picked Williams to win a decision based on throwing a million ineffective slaps and grabbing hold every time Cotto got close. Cotto doesn't like to be forced to adopt someone else's workrate. Hatton would also lose to Williams in the same way. Cintron would probably beat WIlliams. Styles make fights innit.

Tough fight for Cotto, but I think he wins... I would love to see Cintron-Williams and Cotto-Mosley.

Didn't Cotto prove that you can't run and hold on him? I thought that was clear in the zab judah fight. Cotto cuts off the ring and when fights hold cotto, cotto still throws

So throwing 1200 punches is running and holding, margarito was holding almost as much and was locking his arm everytime, and after he was warned for no reason, he stopped and margarito did the most holding after that, if hatton never gets point taken for holding, theres no way williams should ever be penalized.

margarito showed that williams' weakness is the left to the body, which cotto is the best at delivering. williams tears up cotto, but cotto breaks him down and stops him in the 8th.

Cotto seems stronger than Margarito - he would gradually wear Williams down with his persistant attacks. But can he get past Williams long arms to hit him with body punches...
