Cotto has a very weak chin, Williams is a decent hitter. Williams is relentless. Cotto may be a good body puncher, he has to get close to Williams to get a decent shot in. Williams will eat Cotto alive in the inside fight. Williams clinches a lot, so he would control the fight, meaning Cotto would have to be boxing on the back foot. His stamina is **** hence he will tire out and simply will be punishedLast edited by Sugar May Floyd; 02-24-2009, 08:04 AM.Comment

Even if Cotto does get inside there are uppercuts and 4" in hooks coming in from both sides waiting for him.Cotto has a very weak chin, Williams is a decent hitter. Williams is relentless. Cotto may be a good body puncher, he has to get close to Williams to get a decent shot in. Williams will eat Cotto alive in the inside fight. Williams clinches a lot, so he would control the fight, meaning Cotto would have to be boxing on the bad foot. His stamina is **** hence he will tire out and simple be punished
Williams shortens-up on his shots better than anybody around..especially with long arms.
Cotto is ****ed on the outside and inside.Comment

Cotto's body work wont work with Williams, infact it will work against him. Williams throws nice uppercuts and can fight on the inside and outside, see William's fight with Margarito. The things we know for sure are Williams can take a punch, Cotto on the other hand has been down and out, Williams has better chin, stamina, workrate. On paper He has most advantages over Cotto, Add: Height, reach, southpaw stance and a lot of clinching over a Cotto that gets tired.Williams throws a lot of punches, has a great chin, is super tall, and has an enormous reach. But Cotto's best aspect to his boxing is his ability to break down his opponent by going to the body. Cotto would be at perfect level to let his hands go all day on Williams body.
Also Cotto's stance gives him a natural advantage against Williams. Because Williams is tall his punches come straight down at the top of Cotto's guard. Cotto keeps his hands high and this is a natural advantage for Cotto.
I believe once Cotto starts landing those big body shots he will be able to land upstairs too. Williams is known to leave his chin out especially when he backs up. I think Cotto has a natural style to beat Williams.
Margarito is a good body puncher and it didnt work against Williams.Last edited by Xplosivo; 02-24-2009, 08:23 AM.Comment
