Comments Thread For: Foreman Officially Hires Emanuel Steward For Cotto

[Spray_resistant]

Thats the thing with Cotto I dont know where all his body punching went but hes lost it. He had chances to **** Pac to the stomach straight down the middle but he was just flailing away at his arms when his gut was wide open for a right hand.

Im just not putting alot of faith that Cotto hasn't lost it as a fighter. We all said that Marg took something from him. Then he goes to war with Clottey then gets KO'd brutally by Pac. Personally I think Cotto sis done. Taking brutal beatings like that will affect him.

I can't say what is in Cotto's mind, and I guess we won't know how he will look after the Pac fight until he fights Yuri, his mental state is an unknown intangible I guess.

Cotto will become the aggresor in this fight by round 3 I can see cotto down 2-1 but after cotto figures out what he can do to cut the ring in half he is going to start controling the ring and stalking yuri and he will commit on his punches this time and go after the body. Like someone said earlier this is jennings+ 7 pounds. Foreman will run around try to box. If you look at the cotto pacquiao fight first 5 rounds even the knockdown rounds cotto was holding his own. But eventually manny's speed, power and footwork were to much for cotto. Cotto can still box that isn't the problem the problem is in the last year and a half marg, even clottey and pacquiao he hasn't sat on his punches enough in this fight he will be able cause yuri will not meet cotto head on. This is a taylor made fight for miguel he wins this within 9 rounds with a stoppage.

Ever since Cotto's been under Santiago, his whole stance and body game has been lost.

The last time ive seen Cotto be Cotto was vs Jennings. Watch that fight and then watch Clottey, Pacquaios fight. Two different fighters.

I see Cotto losing a UD and it doesn't help that his mental state just aint there anymore.

Yeah thats true. When you throw that in with the fact that hes fighting the bigger guy, at a new weight class, without a good corner then you have to deal with Steward on top of that?

On top of your dads passing?

Naw Cotto will be in for a long night. I have no idea why Cotto took this fight. Arum is using hm as a stepping stone for Foreman. If you ever heard Arum talk about Foreman you would know that he LOVES the dude.

Also miguel has always fought going backwards look at old fights, but his power was to much for the opponents, when he does it now people say he is running and that is not the case, watch old cotto fights he does it both coming foward and going backwards. Cotto was and is still very gifted but his mind sake is not where it use to be. But still he has enough tools to beat yuri foreman PERIOD

[EL_cano]

I got Cotto for 20K
is he rehires Envagelista back onto his corner to work things out.

Cotto is going to bouce back. Trust.

[FightFreak]

Anyone care for a bet?

This is an interesting fight to speculate on. Not sure if Steward will boost Foreman's chances or lessen it, because he tinkers with fighters' styles too much.

Fugg it, I still have the body-****er over the slick but light punching Foreman. And I'll stake some e-moolah on the line.

Any takers?

LOL with Foreman fighting Cotto, Manny will be at his best, since this is a case where Foreman SHOULD fight tall.
