    Is Bob Arum trying to keep P. Williams away from Cotto?

    Why else would he seek out a WBO Welterweight title holder who isn't even the real champion to move up two weight classes to fight his Middleweight Champion????

    Pavlik/Williams doesn't make any sense.

    Nah...Hey, Williams called for the Pavlik fight. if that's what he wants and Pavlik agrees...**** it.

    Cotto will fight Oscar in December pending his victory on July 26th. After that i'm sure he'll fight the top guys in WW. Paul IMO isn't this big threat that everyone makes him out to be.

        For your info.......I'm picking Cotto to beat Margarito. Have spent the majority of time making a case for him winning on this forum.

        I like Cotto, doesn't mean I'm not gonna speak my mind on issues.

          i don't know.who knows who called for the fight,maybe paul heard about the prospect and saw bigger dollars at middle.duran went from lightweight to welter for a fight with ray leonard so it really isn't a big deal.

            easy, jeebus!

            i was just reminded about addy's making the connection with cotto's punishing style and the probability of his loaded gloves.

            its all love dude.

              Facing Pavlik @ middleweight instead of Cotto @ WW is like facing Godzilla instead of Hulk.

                  of course arum will keep cotto away from pwilliams.

                  Williams/Pavlik don't make sense to me though...

                    You say this like WW Cotto is a bigger threat than MW Pavlik? The fight doesn't make sense, thats why its ****ing great. You don't have a bunch of slinky *** promoters milking their fighters with boring match-ups. This is something we should really appreciate--a boxer stepping up to the ****ing plate hoping to beat the guts of a guy he has no business facing just because.
