Bert Sugar: "Williams Is A Good Match For Cotto"

People make it seem like Cotto got killed for 11 rounds by Marg. He did FANTASTIC for the first 6 rounds and then it just all left, maybe he gassed, maybe it was the plaster or maybe it was both. Either way, a normal wrapped Marg would have gotten outpointed by Cotto, a Cotto who simply clinched after his combo's with loaded Marg gloves still would have won. He can simply use this same formula with Williams.
However, the problem is that Williams as someone said earlier, stays in front of you he doesn't really pressure he keeps some distance and just throws punches. The problem I see is that Cotto would be giving up even more reach than he would for Foreman. It could be hard for Cotto to get inside, however, if he was able to I could see him easily taking Williams. Cotto would get to the body non stop and eventually could get Williams to simply drop his punch rate and hit him in the grill all night. People complain about Cotto's defense, quite honestly Williams has far worse defense. That being said I'd still put my money on Williams its just too much reach to overcome IMO.Comment

U need to relax man, he only stated that before Cotto lost his soul to Margarito he envisioned Cotto stopping Williams with his body shots, is just his personal opinion, no one has said that Williams can't take body shots.
If any of his future opponents dedicate a big part of their gameplan to work his body it could lower his output or even make him fold and you know it.
Damn you're such a lil ***** that whenever someone's mentioning a flaw on Williams or Mayweather's game you would rush with their ****s in your mouth to defend them.Comment

i love miguel cotto (no ****)http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat...ith-bert-sugar
In other words he thinks Cotto beats Williams and I agree.
but against someone with a high work rate who pressures his opponents like williams, cotto will fold. don't get me wrong it'd be a somewhat competitive fight
if this fight was made pre-margarito however,
i might just have to agree with you.Comment
