    I don't exactly agree with you. I've only seen Foreman once, in his recent title winning fight.

    But he struck me as being an excellent boxer, with very fast hands and feet, and also with a good chin. AND...he's unbeaten. I've seen letters by posters who have written that Foreman is very slow. I just don't know where they got that from; a technically sound boxer like Foreman, without a a KO punch, has be be better than average, in the other attributes to make up for lack of power.

    So, even allowing for Cotto's better resume, I think it's pretty much of a 50-50 fight.

      yeah true but, cotto is still an excellent offensive fighter and if you don't have the power to keep him honest he will eat you alive in that ring. Don't underestimat cotto as a boxer just keep that in mind.

        That doesn't look like Tito in the middle at all.

        More looked like George Foreman.

        Good to see one of my all-time faves again

          I miss prime Tito. I used to argue with Tito fans but now I wish he was still around. Warrior

            I still don't get the whole scarf with no jacket look. Kind of suspect.

                      Cotto is a stump of a fighter at WW he looks even shorter there with Foreman. Yuri is nothing special, a good fighter all round, not a ****er but has under rated pop i think. Cotto on the other hand has been a special fighter and if he was on top of his game even allowing for the fact he's moving up in weight and his dad has just passed id say Cotto wrecks him but he's not on top of his game, he's been brutalized by a series of tough fights, a guy with rocks in his gloves and POTENTIALLY a drug cheat plus his skin/face dont hold up to the punnishment like it used to. For those reasons alone i give Yuri a great shot but im still picking Miguel to win, late or most likely on points. And im getting my ass over to the US of A to watch it, Cotto in the Garden before he retires gotta be done!
