Promoter Eyes WBA Champ Yuri Foreman vs. Miguel Cotto

[Method Checker]

I think this is the best fight for him, aside from a Margarito rematch.

[Banlistic]

Should Cotto lose, even by Split Decision....he should retire.

He will retire this year no matter what happens in this fight and people need to stop thinking this will be easy. This will be very hard fight for Cotto.

Cotto has a strong chance, but I question these promoters. It would serve Cotto best if he rebuilt, took a couple easy fights first. Rebuild his confidence. He has been stopped twice and hasn't taken an easy fight since Jennings. He deserves a couple gimmes. All promoters see is money to be made. They have little regard for the fighters, their career or their health.

+1

Other than to become 3 division champion this fight makes no sense for Cotto at this point. He should first take an easy fight at 154 and see how his skills translate to the division, and if his body can hold up.

More like he can't wait to make his boy Yuri a star. This is not a good idea for Cotto at this point, but Arum doesn't give a ****.

You really think that Arum wanted to match Pacquaio-Foreman to make Yuri the star? Cotto may not win, but at least he wouldn't take heavy punishment.

Foreman is a difficult fighter to fight especially for a lighter fighter coming off the worse loss of his career. Cotto should work towards a Mosley rematch first(if he still has the titles).

That was just to get Yuri's name out there because if he wanted Yuri to get the Pacquiao fight he would get it. Everyone already knew since last month that he wanted Cotto to face his boy Yuri.

[Blue Heffner]

Yuri will give Cotto problems. The fight will go very unexpected. I'm 50/50 with this one.

Arum wanted the Foreman fight for Pacquaio. It was Roach who killed that match.

If Cotto loses to Yury Foreman it ill be a shame I tell you what!!!!

stfu ch@mp you need to shut your mouth and don't jinx Cotto's chances of winning his third championship belt.

[Ivansmamma]

Cotto is my second favorite fighter and i would be really happy to see him return and become champion again. Still i would think it a better decision to fight some guys his own size, win some easy fights and rebuild confidence. Cotto might be to small for 154. Foremans reach may take away Cotto's jab and his power will most likely be less at a higher weight.

I haven't seen Foreman fight, can he hurt Cotto and can Cotto hurt him?
