Margarito-Williams2

[joseph5620]

i dont think thats fair at all, mayweather was matched up much tougher than oscar was early in his career. I can actually remember being in high school and remembering commentary about how mayweather is being matchup to tough too soon, you may think oscar "paid his dues" but mayweather was being matched up with legit competition by his 18th fight. mayweather paid just as many "dues' as oscar, but mayweather is an ******* who has a certain expectation of entitlement, oscar has it also, but hes far more mature in how he goes about his buisness and handles himself.

That's a good point. I remember when there was talk that Mayweather was being put into his fight with Hernandez too quickly because he wasnt tested yet. His father said "Too fast? I don't think we're goling fast enough!

If Antonio Margarito beats Miguel Cotto there is probably a good chance that he and Paul "the punisher" Williams will do it again. Same result this time or does Margarito win? I personally think styles make fights and Williams is one guy who might have Margarito's number. AM has never seemed very eager to fight Williams and he basically was forced to fight him the first time due to the fact that WBO threatened to strip his belt if he didn't. Just recently he said he didn't know if he would fight Williams again which is strange because you would think he wants to avenge that loss.

This is a tough call. I'd probably go with Williams. I think he would train harder and push himself more so he didn't fade down the stretch. His height aqnd reach would be aq problem for anyone at welter.

I would favor Margarito in a second fight...

He knocked out Quitana in one round like he was some tomato can off the street..please.

he got lucky, Williams doesn't have the power to stop a legit welter in one round, he just managed to land a GOOD SOLID punch. I can guarantee that a 3rd fight would have a different outcome. Remember he was completely outboxed in the 1st

If Margarito loses to Cotto, I think Arum goes for this fight. If he wins,no. But you're right, it is tough to call although I go with Williams again.

That sounds plausible to me. Where does Arum go if Cotto loses though?

Wow. That's a good question LOL. But Jab, I would be willing to bet that he makes a rematch between Cotto and Margarito. Especially if it's as good as we expect it to be. He's going to get as money as he can out of both fighters before he losses stock in either of them. That's just my opinion. But I don't expect Cotto to lose this fight. As good a match-up as this is, my head is strongly telling me Cotto wins this fight. That's why I see Williams-Maragrito 2 around the corner.
