    he's faster on his feet than cotto and will probably have better stamina than cotto will have at jr mid and from what we've seen has a good chin. and he's like 4 inches taller with 5 inches extra reach. cotto wasn't exactly julian jackson even at 140, now he's 14 pounds north of that.

    i'm not saying foreman wins this, but this fight going to be harder than people think.

      He has average skill but a difficult style......i think cotto still has it though because he did pretty good at times with Pac and is still a great fighter

      He lost to the 2 best fighters in the world, so its hard to judge if a fighter is completely shot when he has only lost twice and its to the best.

      Cotto has always been a super focused guy and will most likely win this fight

          Yea Cotto has never faced such a tall fighter who also fights tall. Margarito was tall but he fought short and didnt actually use his reach advantage.

            I really don't get where all this Foreman boxing hype came from. The dude moves but he isn't this amazing boxing. Don't get it twisted, he doesn't do anything special. Better than a journeyman but in no way world class at anything in the ring. Miguels beat bigger men before.

              He has beat bigger men. You may be right this might be a fight where size and style has nothing to do with anything and the better fighter will just win.

              Im rooting for Cotto. Foreman wont lay down though.

                It's good because after this people will realise Cotto was a hype job

                  I think Pinto was the tallest fighter he fought to date, from what I remember he had a long reach too. Don't remember too much of the fight , Im going to have to go back and watch it.

                      I understand his advantages, Im just saying style wise, I don't see this as being difficult match-up. Now somebody like James Kirkland, that I see being a stylistic nightmare for Cotto.
