Paul Williams would TKO Miguel Cotto

He did a good job boxing from the outside against a similar sized Mosley. Williams' height nullfies Cotto's jab. He would be moving inside, chin exposed, trying to get to the leaner Williams' body. That is where it gets for Cotto. Cotto is still very vulnerable to the uppercut. Paul Williams throws them *******ly, and from many angles, with precise aim. Williams' punches don't look like much as far as power is concerned, but when he gets set, he can change a guy's viewpoint fast. His awkward, yet extremely effective, offense makes it difficult to see many of the punches coming at you. Williams would probably fight Cotto similarly to how he fought Margarito, only being less hesitant to sit down on his punches, because he knows that he can hurt Cotto much easier. The accumulation of Williams' constantly active, aggressive assault, would gradually break Cotto down.

Williams by late TKO

Ive still yet to see cotto mosley, but i can see the logic behind this post, williams would be a handful for any fighter at 147, maybe even mayweather.

i think Williams would win a MD against cotto and a SD against Floyd. his punch volume is just too much for anybody at welterweight IMO. Floyd would look terrible in this one.

I think Williams would beat Cotto by late TKO or UD. Williams is way too big for Cotto and he has a massive reach advantage. Williams has a very good chin and a durable body so I can't see Cotto hurting him. I honestly believe that Paul Williams is the best Welterweight in the world.

All I have to say is this: Williams punches are too wide. Cotto would have a field day with his short crisp punches. Cotto TKO.

his punches ain't wide. Calzaghe punches are an example of being wide. Williams would box from a distance and tie up on the inside just like he did to Margarito and just like Mosley did to Cotto. Williams is bigger so he will have better success than Mosley.

Busy outworkers can be beaten...

I watched Winky Wright fight Angel Hernandez and JC Candelo, and they were basically 24 of the exact same round. Hernandez/Candelo threw a bajillion punches, and Wright blocked nearly all of them, and countered. He got the decision, even though he threw drastically less.

Floyd would do even better with the judges, because punch that lands flush/is blocked is difficult to separate for ringside judges sometimes, but a landed/ducked punch isn't too hard to differentiate. Floyd decisions Paul Williams I think.

Anyways, back on topic... Cotto would get outworked in this fight, because his defense tends be a bit lacking for him to be able to fight an elite outworker. He would get hit a lot.

I think TKO is on-point too, because Williams is not a feather-fister, he just takes a while to wear someone down.

Yeah, the tall black guy that will get hit all night with Cotto's hooks because they will get there first.
