Don't you think its hard to unify if PW doesn't have the title anymore?? And Q CLEARLY said he doesn't want Cotto.

Eze was one of them for sure, there was this other fruit called mny mayweather, there was bigtime9 and others.
No, he needs to have Arum contact PBF and start negotiations.

Hell no to the Punished Paul Williams.
He already beat Quintina. When they asked Quintina about a rematch with Cotto his face said it all.

Nah, PW would look bad against cotto, wouldnt be that entertaining I dont think. Williams's drained frame wouldnt be able to stand up to cotto's power. I would see a mid-way KO for Cotto.

I wouldn't mind seeing Cotto vs Williams. Just so we never have to see Williams face at 147lbs ever again. It would be like an innocent little birdie getting ripped to shreds by a tiger.

PW has the size of a Cruiserweight, the power of a featherweight, and the endurance/punch output of a WW... Add em all up divide by 3 and you get the weightclass wher he needs to be

He needs to get a brain and stop letting Arum do his thinking.

Cruiser= 199
feather= 126
ww= 147
PW should fight @ 157.. round down to Junior Middle/Super WW 154

hell no, if anything its the other way around

Actually Arum has done an awesome job managing his carrier imo, aside from not making the Floyd fight (which is actually Arum's and Floyd's fault) I really like the way they managed Cotto until now.

I agree, all up into this crappy situation for Cotto, Arum did a brilliant job bringing Cotto up. You couldn't have stiffer competition at 140lbs than what Cotto got other than not fighting Hatton. Cotto has also fought very good opposition at 147lbs.
