So you honestly believe that Cotto has a chance against Williams?
Yea, a damn good chance. Quintana beat him once and correct me if I'm wrong but didnt Cotto beat Quintana and if not do you seriously think Quintana is better than Cotto?

Do you honestly believe that Floyd (who bet $50k on Marg in the Cotto fight) turned down $8MM to fight Marg because he was inconsequential? - even though every commentator in the media was begging for the fight?
No, I believe he turned it down to fight an easier fight with more money and a more recognizable belt. Sounds like the smart thing to do to me. 10M is worth more than 8M the last time I checked.

Do you honestly believe that Judah, on his best night, could hurt Marg, Clottey or Williams?
A focused and discipline Judah may not hurt all of them but there is a possibility he could beat them. But the Judah of today wouldn't. The "Small" Shane could. And as far as the so called "Small" WW ducking the so called "Big" WW, check again. They all aren't runing or scared.

Seriously, use your head. There's a reason these fights aren't happening. On paper, at least, you'd have to agree that a guy who's 5'6" with 67" reach would have a tough time competing with a guy 6'3" with an 82" reach and a 25 pound weight advantage, wouldn't you?
Of course they would have a big challenge ahead of them. You make it seem like the shit is impossible. You, a big boxing fan yourself should know to never count any of these elite fighters out at this level cause there has been major upsets, surprises, and a whole lot of other impossibles made possible in boxing. Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson and say what you want you never would have though Tarver or Glen Johnson would have knocked out Roy. You may have wanted it to happen but in all actuality you never really believed it would happen until it happen. Hell there have been many other suprises way bigger than this in boxing. Leonard wasn't suppose to beat Hagler and Holyfield wasn't suppose to do as good as he did in the heavyweight division. All I'm saying is you cant count these so called "Small" WW's out. A WW is a damn WW no matter how much he weighs on fight night.

Did Cotto ever hurt Marg? Did Judah every hurt Clottey? Did Mitchell or Quintana ever hurt Williams? Would Floyd ever fight Marg or Williams?
No but he was beating him pretty handidly until he gassed. Judah isn't hurting many WW's these days, Quintana beat Williams without hurting him, and Floyd would school Margarito. He doesn't have to hurt him to beat him. Hell he didn't hurt ODLH (which I truly believe ODLH would beat Margarito) to be him. You yourself should know you can win a boxing match without knocking your opponent out. "SWEET SCIENCE"

If you're smart enough to type, you should be smart enough to recognize that a 15 pound weight advantage and a 6" reach advantage is consequential at ww. It's simple math.
Hey thats your opinion and the logical thing to think but I'm not going to say your completely wrong but you sure as hell aren't completely right.
A WELTERWEIGHT IS A WELTERWEIGHT!!!
