Williams has been looking pretty sharp lately , to bad Margarito has been reading his own press clippings and has been so in active. It would not surprise me at all if Williams ko's Margarita.

And then he "regects" a fight with Cotto, and it goes on and on... Bottom line is that the dude has been inactive and it was all his own doing ...man.

he never regected cotto, he was being accused of avoiding his mando and decided to honor it. the cotto fight is still on once both guys win there respective bouts.
