    Excited About Foreman-Cotto?

    I know that bringing a fight to Yankee Stadium is a big deal and I'm genuinely happy for Yuri Foreman to be getting such a big fight, but from where I'm sitting Miguel Cotto is shot and beyond that just too small to compete at 154. I'm having a hard time getting myself excited about the Foreman-Cotto fight.

    To be honest I’m not, I’m Puerto Rican and happen to think Cotto’s best days are now behind him. And I think Foreman has a golden opportunity to win this fight.

      One thing is for sure, it is not as dangerous as a fight for Cotto. At least he has a much lower chance of getting hurt or taking a beating in this match.

      But yes, I'm excited for Cotto's LMW debut.

        Pretty hard to get excited about any fighting involving Foreman.

        But I would like to see Cotto win another title in a third weight class.

            I'm excited about this one, Only because it's Cotto.

            Foreman is naturally bigger and has good movement but he has not faced a fighter in the same class as Cotto. Foreman is average imo.

            Cotto will win, likely by stoppage but overall it won't be an impressive performance due to Foreman's style.

                I think Cotto is past his best, both physically and mentally, but Foreman has a good style for him, and if Cotto is effective at the weight he might pull it off.

                  Foreman is pretty underrated on here, he's a pretty nice boxer, not so great to watch at times but pretty classy style.
