I like how Cotto fans mention every fighter...

[Rich Loc]

He gave up his belt when he made the decision to fight Phillips at a higher weight. I'm sure Williams and his team knew the rules.

I know an offer was made to Margarito. I'm just doubting its legitimacy.

How did he give it up??? Williams’s team didn’t know this until half way through the camp. Also i think Phillips title also wasn’t allowed for the fight as well.

How can you doubt it when a letter was send? Which Arum responded to it? Seriously

IBF belt and a top 5 WW ranking.

Williams at the time he was asking for a cotto fight:

top 3 WW ranking
WBO Belt

wins over Margarito, Mitchell, Quintana.

Taking two knees against a guy who you were favourite to beat

I call that weak

But he did fight him, right? He didn't make an excuse like another fighter we know when Margarito asked him for a fight right to his face.

I call that weak.

I call that weak.

Did he quit? Yes.
Take two voluntary knees?? Yes
Will he ever call out Williams??? No

Arum responded to it by saying it was a fake offer. Sure Arum can't be trusted but it raises su****ions considering that a Williams-Margarito fight couldn't have been worth that much money, in my opinion atleast.

Who says Williams-Cotto still won't happen? It would obviously have a better chance if Paul actually fought in that division though.

But he replied to a “fake” letter now.

Why would Margarito say no to his highest pay day???

In the first fight. Margarito didn’t want to fight Williams. He only fought him because he liked his WBO belt.

[Rich Loc]

When was he asking this fight?

After he dismantled and outboxed Margarito
