What do u guys think of Cotto-Foreman?

[drh]

i like cotto, but he's taken some MAJOR beatdowns, and although foreman isn't a KO puncher, he will be bigger and stronger.

hard night for cotto, and i can see him being forced to stay on his stool around the 10th.

I think I've heard it all now. Foreman ftw! You do realize that in recent fights Foreman has fought guys that have been kayoed many times(Roman, Tsurkan, and Mcrary) and couldn't knock them out(yes I looked this up but it proves my point) but somehow he is gonna kayo Cotto? I don't get that logic at all. People truly underrated Miguels chin. Miguels chin held up well against Margarito and has held up pretty well against some very hard punchers throughout his career. If Foreman wins it would because of movement and reach but the problem is he has NO power and Miguel will not respect it and get up in that ass. It's an easy fight for Miguel. Should score the kayo around rounds 8 or 9.

Where's the difficult style. Foreman is just average all across the board. Cotto couldn't ask for an easier title fight.

I never see him getting hit very solid. That to me makes him difficult. Obviously he's not Pernell Whitaker, but he's not an easy fight under these circumstances for Cotto.

I guess we will just have to wait and see. I don't see anything special in this guy.

Thisa guy has it right, Foreman is the quicker, taller, rangier guy. He has got some pop too, I see Cotto doing a lot of ineffective chasing in this fight, but Foreman will cruise to a UD.

it'll be like PAvlik-Martinez in a lot of ways

people are forgetting how hard moving up in weight+having to chase your opponent around is. foreman may not have much power, but he's likely to be stronger than cotto. there's gonna be a lot of holding in this fight. that's not to cotto's advantage

I want Cotto to win and I do believe 2 years ago he'd knock Foreman out. And even now I think Cotto is by far Foreman's toughest test. But he was an underdog against Daniel Santos who at the time was the number 1 at 154 and he schooled Santos.. So i'm gonna say Foreman by UD

Exactly, Cotto isn't really even a full 147lbr. I think 145 vs Pac was actually beneficial to Cotto.

Fighting against a 154lbr, who is 5'11" and is faster than Cotto is a huge ask, I actually think this is going to be a one sided fight, im betting big on foreman.

He's nothing special. My premise is based more on Cotto being diminished after too many tough fights. Ideally he would have taken a comeback fight at 154 before this match. But admittedly Cotto clearly has a huge edge in class.
