Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto-Yuri Foreman is Close For June 12

[-Antonio-]

I would have picked Cotto to win last year. He's usually a beast against this style.

See, here's a great question for the vacant belt issue ******s.

If Cotto beats Foreman, he will have beat a champ for a belt.

Is that better than beating Carlos Quintana for a vacant belt?

I'll bite...............

Yes it will. Reasons......

Cotto isn't the killer machine as before the Margarito beating. Mentally, he's not all up there. So winning a belt being a shell of himself deserves my props.

He's going UP in weight. He's a small welterweight to begin with. Just imagine going up 7 pounds. Doesn't sound like much but the other guy will rehydrate a lot more and out weight you most of the time.

Foreman beat Santos. I could understand the inactivity with Santos, but he doesn't suck and deserves to be a top 10 at the weight. No doubt.

cotto will be small at 154 but he will also be very fast. i was very impressed with how cotto looked in the early rounds of the pac fight. he is an elite fighter with good speed. i hope he can get a couple of wins and maybe one last superfight. the guy is a warrior. i still hope he gets to beat the piss out of floyd before he's been in to many wars.

Foreman UD.

Anything close will automatically go to Cotto.

Considering Quintana was set up as an opponent for Joel Julio, and pulled of the big upset before being pitted against Cotto, I'd say yes, Foreman is a better fighter than Quintana is now.

Quintana is only known around here because he beat Paul Williams 2 years later.

Cotto right now got a lot of **** going on on his head. I think this is a great good bye boxing fight for him. No matter what happend. Foreman is really skill and knows how to use the ring, Cotto wins this one, but I hope to hear after the fight, Thanks for all the support but this was my last fight.........

[cottofan2]

I know a lot of people are expecting this to be his farewell fight but I think it all depends on how Cotto looks and feels in this fight. If he barely wins and feels sluggish, I think he calls it quits. BUT if he looks good and feels comfortable at that weight, he is only 29 years old and a true warrior. If he doesn't take much punishment, I think he gives it another fight or two. He's a proud guy and I doubt he wants the Pacquiao and Margarito losses to be what he's remembered for. Knowing Miguel, he will go after one of the top 154 pounders like Martinez or PWill.

Hopefully Santiago doesn't ****c this one up, I see cotto setting up the quick jab and attacking the body like crazy.1st fight since his pops passing, add the extra emotion cuz it's the eve of the pr parade, should have him focused for this even more than ever before to want to go out with a **** this year especially if it's his last year.doubt if it's possibe but would like to see evangelista be in the corner instead of Joe, just don't think Joe has the knowledge , he needs to stay being a motivator.

I'm gonna go if it's signed. I am rooting for Miguel. If he ever deserved to win a fight, it's this one.
