Excited About Foreman-Cotto?

[Eaner0919]

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.

agreed 100% on both

Foreman is tough on the eyes

and it would be nice seeing Cotto go out with a third weight class title

I don't like Foreman's style, so I'm not too excited but I'd like to see Cotto rebound and start up a winning streak again

I know a lot of people on this board aren't trying to hear this, but Cotto is shot. A winning streak at the world class championship level is not at all likely. He's going to keep fighting because he sells tickets and a lot of people still believe in him, but he should seriously consider retiring.

[The Gambler1981]

I am mildly interested.

The down side to all of this is if Cotto does win and wins a strap at this weight class he may be tempted to actively compete in it and then have to worry about other 154ILb monsters (i.e. Angulo Martinez to name a few) both in which I favor heavily to beat Cotto.

HBO will throw a lot of money away on this fight, and they will have a hard time fitting other more crowd pleasing fights in their budget because of it. I know I sound like Hauser, but it's real talk.

I'm excited- and it looks like I might be in the minority there.

It's not that I feel like Foreman is an exciting fighter, but for whatever reason I don't want to think Cotto is shot. I mean, he clearly had problems with Manny Pacquiao, and took a real beating against Margarito, but those were very poor style match-ups for him. I mean, Pacquiao is fast, and can ****, and Margarito was pure pressure at that stage.

Maybe I'm just rooting for Miguel because he always seemed to take decent challenges. I mean, he fought decent opposition at 147. Quintana, Mosley, Judah, Clottey, Margarito and Pacquiao; that's not a list of chumps there.

So, yeah, I like Miguel and I think the Margarito fight is what really damaged him mentally and physically. I really want to hope that solid, confident boxer can reemerge at junior middleweight. Foreman doesn't have much pop, so if he's going to get back on track at a higher weight, that's the right guy to do it against.

I want him to reemerge at 154. So, yes, I'm excited.

[Siggy]

no, becuz foreman's involved and i hate foreman.

[hateinyaeyes32]

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.

I agree with you man, but I do think that Cotto is going to give him a good fight... I hope this one doesnt end in a stoppage, I hope it goes the distance and is a total war, but i dont know how Cotto is going to be able to cope with punishment if he starts taking it, I just dont know....

I think Cotto takes this easy,cotto wil have emence power at 154lbs and foreman doesnt have any power what so ever.
