In my opinion, there was nothing relentless about his strategy in the last 4 rounds. Sure, it paid off, but he fought scared at the end, and I think that'll come back to bite me in the future if he tries it again...He'll kick Paul Williams' ass, but so would Mosley. Williams won't do well against the pressure tactics of a fighter with more compact, sharper punches than Margarito. Right now, I'd prefer to see Cotto vs. Cintron.

Freudian slip on that last post. I meant to say "come back to bite him in the future." Of course, it would bite me if I bet against him again, which I don't see happening. Only time that it's semi-safe to bet against Cotto is on a prop like I recommended last night.

Not because I am mexican or something like that but you cant compare THE WARRIOR (Chavez) to Cotto, Cotto has been one of my favorites since I saw him in the olimpics but you cant compare him with chavez, Chavez always went forward, I didnt like the last 3 rounds of last night, he looked scared, and Chavez too much for him, an old and slower Mosley made him look pretty bad sometimes, Chavez is a pedigree top 10 fighters all time for me, Cotto not even close...

PAUL WILLIAMS IS 6'1 IM NOT SO SURE COTTO WOULD HAVE A EASY TIME BEING HE IS 5'8 HIMSELF, PAUL WILLIAMS COULD JAB HIM TO DEATH WITH HIS HUGE REACH ADVANTAGE

I don't think that Williams' jab is hard enough to impede Cotto from coming inside and working the body. Williams' lanky body could be a disadvantage, as he would have a tough time blocking Cotto's body work. I really don't see this as much of a contest. Williams is kind of a freak in this ultra-talented division, and I see him getting exposed by the upper-echelon fighters like Cotto and Cintron. Margarito is good, but his wide-punching style was a bad matchup against Williams, who threw almost two punches for every one punch by Margarito. Also, Margarito didn't work the body enough.
