Cotto V Foreman will be HBO WCB. Also, most of the good fights in the sport will be held on reg HBO and SHO. Pavlik V Martinez, Arreola V Ademek, Khan/Paulie, Dawson/Pascal, Williams Juan Marquez and Bradleys return, the Super 6, and Vazquez/Marquez will all be non ppv fights. That's just fights up till the start of June. 2010 is going to be on fire.

cotto is coming off a beatdown so no one cares who he fights next.

Speak for yourself, elmalo. Cotto still has a big fanbase, and just cuz he lost a couple fights to big names doesn't mean he's irrelevant. His record is still very good.

Although I wish Juanma was on the undercard, he is fighting in Puerto Rico with Valero on the undercard in June. The undercard for the Cotto fight is pretty much set: Winky Wright is gonna be the co-main event vs TBA. Lamont Peterson vs. Kendal Holt (both Top Rank). And John Duddy will bring his NY fans to the stadium vs. TBA. It would be nice to have Calderon or Juanma, however.

A major obstacle has been cleared for boxing's possible return to Yankee Stadium in New York. It has been three decades since boxing took center stage in Yankee Stadium. The last time being when Muhammad Ali fought Ken Norton at the old stadium.

A contest in this venue would be huge for Boxing. I was fortunate to have been present at Ali/Norton and vividly recall feeling as if Kenny had earned the nod. The Stadium feel added an extra, electric sensation and dimension.
Cotto has a huge heart but Foreman is tall and can cut a man like Miguel with that long reach. Yuri can box more then a little. This could be an exciting match, especially with the added roar of 30,000 Tri State fans whom I believe would fill the place. I live 20 minutes away and would truly love to spend a June, Yankee Stadium evening with the great fight fans of New York.

a while back on espn boxing messege board, when there was talk of a possible pacquiao/yuri foreman fight with the pacquiao/mayweather jr having problems with their contract negotiations...alot of people were saying pacquiao is cherry picking a boxer in yuri foreman that is taylor made for pacquiao.

but with cotto now fighting foreman in a few months, alot of people are saying how exciting of a fight that would be. why isnt it cherry picking for cotto, but is considered cherry picking for pacquiao?

This guy is a noob, but his post is spot on.
