One clearly beat Margarito the other got destroyed and KOed by him. Williams is a better fighter than Cotto it isn't even close.

Williams dude ain't better than Cotto. All he has is size and reach.

He's 6'1 and Cotto is 5'7, that's the only thing he's better than him then. I don't blame the 147 pounders for not fighting Williams. The only reason Williams stood with Margarito was because of his size, because he was wearing out towards the end. Williams is suspect, Quintana proved it and so did Martinez.

At the end of the day, the worst you can say about Cotto is that:

1) He lost to a known cheater and 2) He lost to the best fighter in the last 15 years...Not bad

Williams however, best wins come against retired and past their best fighters and he lost to a guy who had his soul taken by Cotto. Your bias is showing and thats fine, but please...Williams ain't on Cotto's level.
