It’s been 34 years since boxers stepped into the squared circle in Yankee Stadium. It took a brand new stadium, a Puerto Rican with a heavy New York fan-base (there is a solid Puerto Rican population in NY, and Cotto holds many of his fights in Madison Square Garden), and, of course, a Belarusian transported to Israel and then New York who is studying to become a rabbi. Who didn’t see that one coming?

I'm picking Cotto.
Foreman does have the advantage in footwork, reach, size but i think Cotto is better in every other catergory.
I see Cotto pressing the action (obviously), controlling the fight behind his superior jab and using it to get inside and work off his combos especially to the body.
I see Cotto taking a clearish decision or stopping Foreman late.
