I'm willing to give Cotto credit for his win over Quintana because he was highly regarded at the time. And Cotto had to fight for a vacant belt at 140 because Hatton didn't want anything to do with him. Fair play. But you can't criticize Cotto for winning vacant titles and at the same time give him a pass for not fighting Paul Williams because at the end of the day Paul Williams > Michael Jennings.
    For the 50th time.

    Did you expect Cotto to fight Paul Williams immediately after his beatdown at the hands of Margarito?

    That's expecting too much.

      No. But at least he could've had the decency to fight somebody else and actually earn a shot at a title instead of getting an automatic title shot after quitting.

        If you see how Margo beat Cotto, why would you want to see Williams do the same? Unless you just want to see Cotto getting beaten down again. It is like the only opportunity that the fight against each other was after the Margo fight and it didn't happened cause obvious reasons.

              I mean apparently you don't have **** for a business sense. Either that or you're just simply not very intelligent.

              The decency? He took advantage of a sanctioning body that had him ranked as the number one contender, happened to rank a bum as the number 2.

              Hmmm let me see.....I'm in a situation where, like so many other fighters, I can fight a tomato can after a total beatdown, and because of the sanction bodies, I can get a belt out of it.

              Or do I please Iceta and other brilliant boxingscene posters that think I have to "earn" my way to a title shot by throwing myself back into the wolves.

              What to do, what to do.

              He took advantage of the system. He would have been ****** not to.

              Hate the playa, not the game son.

                  Cotto will be too strong for Pwill. Pwill's resume is mediocre at best

                      These threads are pointless. If he makes the weight, then its all good. We're not talking about Pavlik fighting Cotto. There were talks about 2 (Williams and Cotto) fighting each other, not a Middleweight and a WW.
