Comments Thread For: Cotto vs Foreman: Miguel Would Consider a Move Up

[cottofan2]

This is a good fight for Miguel. It's kind of like a tune-up at 154 but for a belt. Pacquiao is a knock-out fighter with lots of speed. Foreman rarely wins by KO. Cotto could come in at 151-152 if he feels the added weight is slowing him down. If he looks good, he could end his career against someone like Segio Martinez or Paul Williams at the Garden. Who knows, maybe by then Mosley will have nowhere to go but 154 and they could meet again. This fight opens up options for Cotto so I think it's a great fight for his return to the ring. And if he loses, then he knows it's time to call it quits.

Foreman is by far the worst of the 154-lb champs.

dammit cotto, i hope pac beats you to foreman lol. man, we all know floyd is gonna duck pac.

He should/needs to stay at 147, Moving up shouldn't be a option for him. At 147 he can overpower most opponents, if he moves up, that 'feature' could/will be taken away, not to mention bigger punchers.

Stay at 147.

Id say that from the looks he is starting to have trouble in WW already, he was doing workouts lifting a bit of weights and that gives muscles, which then makes it hard to lose MORE weight and still keep that muscle without being drained, i believe moving up wouldn't be bad at all. Id say go for it, dont know if Foreman would be really good but id take a chance.

interesing fight for both of them

Wish he would get rid of Santiago, cotto is like what 5'7, 5'8.. Could still see him having lots of trouble against the taller now especially heavier fighters. Don't think he will correct the bad habits he has.it should be a great night with him on main event and the poss co main event which will be a better fight between juanma/Gamboa if they continue to win.

I think cotto wont have much trouble with him. cotto is a body puncher and he loves to stay in the inside. yuri had a hard time with old ass santaigo cotto should be more speedy so i think he able to slip most of yuris punchs. cotto has fought a few taller guys and didnt have much of problem (exp margartio).

well he had trouble against egg head clottey as well,and yea yea i know he had a deep gash in the 3rd, i really like cotto ,but IF yuri has any sense of a gameplan and watches tape on cotto, all he has to do is pressure by keep throwing punches,and cover the body.santiago has no other gameplan to counter it ,cotto proved it against egg head clottey and for the last 5 rounds of the manny fight cuz manny didnt want to finish cotto off.
