if cotto isn't going to fight floyd then he should fight williams, this is a more meaningful fight, oscar needs to clean out his division and fight the guys there!!!

The most logical matchups in terms of what's best in a pure boxing sense, isn't always the best business sense. Boxing is a business too.

Cotto-De La Hoya will probably lead to Mayweather-Cotto as long as Miguel wins, so I'm all for it, provided Cotto wins.

If DLH wins, I'll be mad. I want Mayweather-Cotto, not Mayweather-De La Hoya 2.

You may feel this way but Cotto certainly does not as it will land him his biggest payday and a chance to draw a larger audience.

Cotto will not fight Williams before PBF or DLH. That would be business suicide. If he lost to Williams- which I think would happen- all future big-$ fights would be off. At least if he loses to DLH or PBF he'll make a fortune for it.

I agree! I think Cotto should fight williams even though I think Cotto would loose. it would still be a very exciting fight. Not that a Cotto vs DLH fight wouldn't be exciting...Williams would just make for a more exciting fight. Plus Cotto would be able to regain anther title from one of the other title holders...lets just hope for Cotto's sake Paul doesn't unify!

Cotto and Williams will have a hard time agreeing on a purse split because both are equally champions but Cotto is the much bigger draw.

Unless Williams agrees to the short end of the stick this fight will not happen.

williams is not THAT nice. williams can beat cotto?? u crazy. who has williams really beat. margarito ?? margarito almost beat him. he just started to fight too late in the fight. cotto will break down williams body. cotto is a beast !!

Well...Williams and Marg both started the fight at the same time...Its not Williams fault that Marg wasn't doing much at the first half of the fight.

And you act as if Margarito isn't a major player at 147!:rofl Margarito is a very dangerous and tough foe for anyone. He was champion for a long time before Williams took his crown.
Cotto is a beast but Williams is a freak of nature with all the tools to beat Cotto convingingly. And he will if this fight happens.

I personally think we as fans are losing the point a bit, and if im wrong, im not allergic to corrections so plzz do say, but i just think that this is about Mayweather, not Cotto. PBF is the Welterweight champion, and Miguel Cotto is the number one contender. I think that if Floyd were to fight he should fight Cotto, u see, #1 vs #2, not #3 vs #2, that should ony happen if Mayweather (#1) doesnt fight at all. So to the theme of the thread, Williams/ Cotto a must?? i think it should be a Mayweather/Cotto a must, if not, than it would be williams/cotto a must.

The fight should happen in the distant furture, i don't see Bob Arum thinking about that now because it is a big risk for everyone at WW, i mean Williams is a fast southpaw who has a long reach maybe even more than the Klitschko brothers and at 6'-1" fighting in welterweight division is just too much for welters between 5'-6" and 5'-11", the only weakness and disadvantage he will have if he ever fights Cotto will be his torso, if Cotto penetrates Pwilliams defense with big left hooks to the body he could win. When Margarito fought Williams he was Headhunting a lot when he should have aimed more to the body.

floyd just wants more money than the amount he got in the first fight (20 million).

arum said a cotto vs williams match up is possible if cotto doesn't get floyd.

I honestly think it's going to be more competitive. Unification can come later.. Paul is not going anywhere. DLH is on the verge of retirement.

I don't understand why everybody is so high on Paul Williams. He's not Tommy Hearns for chrissakes.

Relentless- I want your opinion: If Cotto beats Williams.... and the PBF beats Cotto- does this mean that PBF doesn't need to prove himself in a williams fight?

I dont think DLH should be fighting any of these guys. He is a true warrior but his time has come and gone surely.!?

Williams does not deserve to be champion, he won by criminal judges only.

depends how cotto beats him, also you have to remember styles make fight, cotto can break williams down to the body, mayweather is a counter puncher, we dont know how he is going to react to williams high punch output.

Cotto is at a crossroads. I think he would beat Williams but it would be best avoided till he gets the big fights. Mayweather uses 'retirement' to avoid fighters and take the easy pickings/damaged goods later.

I don't think we have anything to worry about guyz...these fights are coming...all the WW champs are running out of chumps to fight...eventually the only fights that will make sense are the ones we all want to see...and when the smoke clears, FM will fight the last man standing....and if DLH wants to drop down to WW and challenge one of the champs I see that as a good thing as the WW champs are running out of good opponents (aside from eachother) anyways. Perhaps they just need an outsider to a.) beat one of them and then challenge another (which DLH would do), b.) lose to them and give them a deeper resume for future fights. Either way, DLH and others who may follow suite down to the WW division can not only gain by fighting at this weight, they can also give credit to the current champs in a loss to them. Just my take on it.
