De La Hoya Beats Everybody @ 147

[crillz]

I think cotto beats anyone at WW right now, Cotto is too smart and rugged, he beats Floyd and has a easier time with oscar IMO, I think Williams can present problems to Cotto due to his longer arms and taller frame but I still think Williams allows himself to get hit too much, he is very willing to exchange with his opponents, Sharmba Mitchell caught Williams with clean punches but due to lack of KO power Williams ran through it, Williams is not a puncher he is a tall and VERY active Boxer who overwhelms, he will eventually encounter someone who can freeze him, stop his whole momentum, I see another Vernon Forrest-Ricardo Mayorga situation only worse though because Williams can't make you pay they way Forrest can, Forrest hits HARD while Williams hits not so hard but swings twice as much..

against a good counter puncher with decent power and skills Williams will find himself in a fight he can't win, he can get hit way too much, Margarito couldn't do **** because he was clearly thrown off early but towards the ends Margarito was hitting him with bombs he just did too little too late, I'm sure that if he took that same approach since the opening bell that Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant and Emmanuel Steward would have been yelling TIMBER!! 100

He couldn't beat Mosley at 147 or 154. He couldn't beat Floyd at no matter what weight they fought at. He'll be 35 next may, I think he will struggle against Cotto now. The DLH of 1997 would beat Cotto, but not now, he's much slower now and doesn't have the same hunger.

I think Forrest is his best option. But, he isn't a big enough name, because DLH only gets motivated for big names. LOL. The Sturm fight is living proof of this.

Some are overrating cotto, the dude is no trinidad.
