    Not that I know of. I'm sure Cotto wouldn't be afraid to fight him.

      LOL you're the one assuming that, not anyone else. Fact is Williams defended the belt one time, won it back, and vacated it. Dibella nor Williams went forth heavily for a fight with Cotto or any other top Welter besides Margarito. There was even a fight with Clottey in place but being HBO didn't want the fight (I wonder why) he went on to vacate his belt to fight Andy Kolle at 160 and he's been there and at 154 ever since.

      So with all that said, this is all Cotto's fault?

        Thats funny..because people say Floyd ducked Cotto..but Im wondering when did Cotto offer Floyd a fight.

          You can't compare the two.

          ESPN (Around the Horn, Friday Night Fights, etc), Sky Sports, Telemundo, Countless websites, etc all mentioned a Cotto vs Floyd fight before Floyd even fought Hatton. It was THE marquee matchup to be made in Boxing.

          I don't think Williams has even had a fight of his appear on Sportscenter's highlight reels as of yet.

            That's my point exactly. You got it Burner.

            Malcolm said earlier today that Cotto ducked Floyd because Floyd offered Cotto a fight at 140. Then he said Cotto never offered Floyd a fight at 147, so he didn't consider it ducking. But he firmly believes that Cotto ducked Williams, yet there's no proof of an offer from Williams to Cotto. Only name shouting. Hmmm. You PWill fans better getting your definition of ducking straight, because it seems to change depending on who you're talking about.

                From what i understand, PWill and his Team offered Top Rank a fight with Cotto, but Arum refused to do business with PWill's manager/attorney(whatever the *** he is) Al Haymon after some incident that happened during and after the Marg/PWill fight....thats why the fight hasnt happened

                  Really. Interesting. Then why do Williams fans claim Cotto is ducking?
