    Yes, because Cotto deserves the matchup more. I think that Williams might be the bigger threat style wise, but as far as accomplishment Cotto deserves the match.

      Isn't that the same logic that makes Floyd fight Baldomir over Margarito? The win over Judah is better than anything Margarito has done, and he had the lineal title...

        No, it's not the same......not even close. Your attempt to bait a guy failed, DWIENS.

          No, because Baldomir is a total bum who was about to get outboxed and let victory slip away to Arturo Gatti until Gatti got careless.

          But anyway, I never had a problem with him taking the Baldomir fight, nor what he did in the ring against him. In that fight, he humiliated Baldomir. In the De La Hoya fight, he humiliated himself.

            **** son, that wasn't even a bait, I just thought of that when he answered that way... I figured that most people would say Cotto if they thought he was the bigger threat, and most people would say Williams if they thought he was the bigger threat.

            I do think it is the same though.

            Cotto has a bigger win that Williams... so did Baldomir compared to Margarito.

            Baldomir also was the lineal Ring champ, compared to Margarito's WBO.

            Cotto's WBA is probably considered a bit better than Williams, but maybe not, considering Cotto's was vacant when he won it.

            I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but show me why please.

              Well it really wasn't supposed to be an accusation at you anyway, I was genuinely just curious. As usual I get your stances mixed up, because they are quite different from most on this site who don't like Floyd.

                Cotto is riding on the coat tails of two impressive wins over Judah and Mosley. This kid is for real.

                That's why I want to see him fight, Floyd bro. **** this belt ****...

                  Its because I'm not black, white, a ******, or hispanic. I dont have any stake in being biased.

                    Right right, I understand about the belts, which is why I didn't bother mentioning Cintron, because the three up top are on a different level from him IMO.

                    I think Williams is probably for real too though. He cut Margarito's punch output in half with his performance against him, and took some hard ass punches up and downstairs without blinking.

                    I really want to see Floyd fight both of these guys.

                    I think he really can safely retire after these two fights if he wins them... thoughts?
