I like how Cotto fans mention every fighter...

[TheGreatA]

Yes. Williams had to fight Carkos Q to get his attention. But Clottey needs just to beat Judah

You see how Williams managers were trying to get Cotto match

Goossen, Williams' promoter said that the fight would happen if both men stayed undefeated. Unfortunately that's not how it turned out, Williams lost to Quintana and Cotto later lost to Margarito.

Have I made my point clear enough?

More lucrative possibility right now outside of Mosley?

Yea that's why.

Earlier, he had a potential Floyd fight, a potential Oscar fight, and a Margarito fight.

Seriously Flawless, as much hate as you get, I know you're not that ******.

Clottey is more lucrative fight than the Punisher.

I have heard it all now

Most likely because Cotto had just become a bonafide stud, and was holding out for a fight with Floyd?

Or because Arum still had the idea of matching him up with Margarito, his other big time WW? And Cotto said ok....Williams was no one to go out of your way to fight, it just wouldn't make business sense.

He's not capable of understanding this.

Stop being ******.

Lol, but its seems to come so natural for him.

Clottey's not a 'goldenboy' draw. In fact, he's not much of draw at all which is probably why Clottey/Williams didn't happen. HBO couldn't meet up the funds for two 'no-draws': http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=16314

But Clottey IS ranked #4 right under Cotto.
He's hard as nails with only two losses. That Boldimir loss was a disqualification, and he took all of Marg's BEST shots despite the fact he injured his hand in round 9 of that fight.

Mosley refuses to fight in Cotto's backyard NY before the PR parade.
So Cotto's options were Berto, Cintron, and Clottey. He chose the toughest of the 3 opponents.
That's not good enough for some people. He needs to fight Williams on THEIR schedule, even though he intends on fighting ALL of the best.

IDC about him fighting Williams. I KNOW Cotto is fighting Clottey because he's the toughest of the 3. But *some of your fellow Cotto fan members are misleading cotto's Image* by saying Clottey brings something to the table. If that was the case, he would have fought Berto for the WBC(World recognized belt) Berto actually has a following and brings his undefeated record on the line and plus you want Top 5 ranked WW, yep, he got that too. So cotto fans should just put it plain and simple and say Clottey is the toughest challenege out there instead of going at it for 12, 13 pages about how Clottey actually "brings something" to the table compared to Williams.

I get your point.
But do you get my point Cotto didn’t want the fight after Williams schooled Margarito. Goosen had to fight Carlos Q so that Cotto had public pressure on him

Seriously, you just pick and chose **** to try and make a point that you still fail to make.

So you expect Cotto to call out Williams NOW? I thought the whole argument was why they didnt fight when Williams fought Quintana.

Seriously I used to defend your ass while you were banned, but you are just being absurd right now.

Williams left WW because he couldn't get a big fight. Cotto was coming off a rough loss, and only ******s like you expected him to fight Williams coming off that loss.

you're not that ******.

oh my god....im done with this thread honestly the cotto nuthuggery has reached all time level high.

clottey cant pull **** and williams was a much bigger draw than gomez, jennings and clottey, three fights that cotto took when he could have fought williams, who back then had a top 3 welterweight ranking, a wbo belt and a win over a fighter who cotto quit against.

[el malo]

except paul williams

whenever williams comes to the topic they either change the topic, or use excuses for cotto not fighting williams

bring on that long skinny skeletor. cotto will break those ribs!

[Rich Loc]

bring on that long skinny skeletor. cotto will break those ribs!

Just like how he broke a slow one dimensional fighter called Margarito aka Cotto’s Father

[Xplosivo]

wrong AGAIN. Williams constantly tried to secure a fight with cotto after williams beat margarito, even before the margarito fight he called cotto out but he knew he had to beat someone, since the margarito fight cotto wanted no part of him
