    I am not talking about height or reach.....he is a naturally overall bigger man.

    He is not just taller but walking around much heavier, it wouldn't surprise me at all to know he is more than 180 when not in camp.

      How is Williams big? Hes a toothpick.

      So that means you are talking ABOUT height and reach. 'll remind you for the third time boxing doesnt have height and reach classes.

        Right, so I guess putting Cotto with Pacquiao, Mosley, Clottey, and Margarito and excluding the least known / least money maker is doing a **** job as a promoter.

        LOL weird...

          Alright keep ducking my points, but you know he is naturally overall heavier man than any WW who has probably ever fought.

            I wont argue that Cotto had a good WW resume.

            To play devils advocate though he did fight Jennings, Gomez, Clottey and Urkal. They arent big draws at all.

              No hes not. Dont make it up bro.

              He walks around at no more then 160 Pounds. Thats out his own mouth.

              Since when does that matter anyway? Cotto, Berto and Clottey ALL walk around heavy.

              Wlad is bigger then EVERYONE and you praise each victory.

              Gimme a break. You make the weight. You fight there. Period.

                Does this include JWW? Both Cotto, Hatton and another fighter ducked Mayweather at 140 after seeing how badly he dismantled Gatti from ringside. Cotto hid behind Bob Arum who said "He isn't ready for Floyd yet" and Hatton just shut up completely. I can't remember who the third guy was.

                As for 147, Paul Williams did call him out and Cotto never fought him, but I don't blame him. Mosley, Mayweather and Margarito at one point wanted no part of him and he really didn't belong at 147. The only guy at WW who didn't duck P.Will was Clottey, but if they fought it would be a lopsided 120-108 decision in favor of Williams and he would set a new record ahead of Margarito's for most punches thrown in a fight.

                And to this day I really don't understand why he chose to fight Yuri Foreman when Kermit Cintron was available at the time, at both 147 and 154...It boggles my mind. That fight would attract a HUGE Puerto Rican audience, and it would be a great fight. Its almost even. Both are big punches and they also have some good boxing skills.

                    Williams wouldve beat Floyd, Cotto, Berto and Mosley. They avoided him for a reason.

                      cotto fought most of the top ww excluding paul williams, but noone wants any piece of him. cotto fought the best and beat the best, until margarito took his soul, he just hasnt been the same since.
