    Is Yuri Foreman an Arum sleeper agent?

    I wonder if Foreman is Arum's Steven Luevano at 54'.

    Perhaps he is to serve the purpose of taking a dive (or just plain losing) to Cotto to get Miguel another title to setup a big money, championship rematch with Margarito at 54.

    Assuming Margarito gets past Jones in style.

    Then we could see Cotto/Tony 2 sometime in the fall for a title at 54.

    Unless Arum is serious about Tony/Packy at which point this thread fails.

    I don't buy this talk about Arum wanting to make Foreman his "next big star" because Foreman has the worst style in boxing.

    Arum knows this and knows he'll never be a big attraction.

    Why sacrifice Cotto who can actually still draw a ****load of fans?

    Makes no sense. I think Yuri's a fall guy.

          I do. I only worry about the venue.


          I think Cotto after 2 brutal shellackings in the last 16 months is on the decline for good.

          He's tasted losing. He's getting used to it.

            I think it's just opportunism and shrewd business sense on Arum's part rather than some sinister master plan. He's got a win-win situation on his hands.

            Foreman has been touted as a prospect for a while now so I don't think Arum'd have any ulterior motive to signing him other than just hoarding talent.

              He was so ****** in that Pac fight man. If he would've kept his head on his shoulders he mightve won it. But its hard to keep your head on your shoulders when Packy is knocking it off.

                Yup, Foreman is another Arum sleeper agent. I think Cotto beats Foreman. Margarito beats Jones. But I think we do see Pac-Margarito. Cotto can rematch Clottey at 154 in a title defense.

                  I like to think of Yuri as the new Corey Spinks. Remember when Cory embarrased Mayorga then beat dumb Judah.... and got a lineal out of it with Mayo.

                  Yuri is the spoiler and yes, not an eye-pleasing fan favorite.

                  We're doing the Caveman bet right?

                    Hell yeah. The problem I'm having is that I agreed to big bets with you, Iantheman, and DontTaseMebrah with my Ripper account that has over 1 mill in it.

                    But I won't be getting that back for another month or so.

                    Do you mind being paid on layaway?
