I keep hearing all this crap about Cotto was never afraid to fight Paul Williams and Paul Williams isn't feared by anyone, etc...
"I would have still been fighting at 147 if I had someone to fight. They forced me out. I had Michael Jennings at number 1 [when Williams was the WBO welterweight champion] and he turned me down. I had Miguel Cotto at number 2 and he turned me down. I left [to move up in weight]. Then I turn on the TV and they are fighting for my title."
