Miguel Cotto vs. Paul Williams

[THE REED]

cotto outboxes and times williams all damn night! williams foot work is sloppy, his punches are sloppy and cotto would win a wide UD ala quintana williams.

margarito doesnt throw the crispest technical punches ive ever seen... we all saw how that ended up

i see cotto by tko,yeah i think p-will is overrated but he doesn't suck,i also see clottey beating p-will

[THE REED]

Paul Williams has a very difficult time making weight at 147, he should fight right where he is now....at 154. At 6'2'', and trying to make Welter, The Punisher will most definately "OVER-TRAIN", and be highly weight drained, he can't keep fighting at that weight. Team Cotto saw the same thing with Cotto at 140, and is now campaigning at 147. Team Williams will be doing the same soon enough, not just for Verno Phillips.

So what that Cotto beat Quintana, and Quintana won the first fight with Williams. Carlos Quintana is good, though I believe it was more of Williams being weight drained, over trained, and couldn't compete. Even though Williams has a huge work rate, there is not much behind those flickering jabs to really keep Cotto off him like Margarito did. Simply put...Williams can't really hurt Cotto. (like the Tiajuana Tornado did).

how the hell do u know what he has a tough time doing?

i'd say pwill is too big and seems to have too good a chin, even though cotto would have some good rounds i think he'd loose by points probably SD.

I am still not sure on this one.

clotteys defense would help but he doesnt throw enough, and he hurts his hands wayyyyy too much....

No one truly is, but some pwills fanboys won't admit it and give cotto a shot. I'm a cotto fan but this fight is a toss-up.

Agreed on this. The pace that Clottey fights at makes him tailor made for Tony, Williams, and Cotto.

As for the topic I'm really not sure. Williams is not walking through the onslaught Tony did, and it's not like he's hard to hit. If Williams utilizes his reach he wins. I'll tell you one thing, Paul is not beating Cotto fighting like he did against Verno Phillips.

I have this as a pick 'em fight, maybe Paul as the slight favorite.

Williams doesn't have margarito's chin, nor his stamina, nor his motivation that marg had that night , nor his uppercuts, nor his left hook to the body, and he wont have 11,000 fans chanting his name.
