I'm really surprised at this comment. Can you explain why you think this way?
Some of the people here have made good points about this match-up. I think the two biggest question marks with Miguel are: How will the move up in weight affect him? And, how badly have his batterings against Margarito and Pacquiao affected him?
I think the move up in weight is less cause for concern. As has already been pointed out, he might actually feel better at 154 since he won't have to drain. As for the poundings Miguel has taken, we may not know the extent of that damage for some time...if ever.
Cotto is the better fighter. Although Foreman is a pretty good boxer, Miguel boxes well himself and has more power. I don't think Yuri has the power to hurt, let alone stop, Cotto, even after Miguel's past fights. There's no way a new trainer, at this stage in his career, is going to suddenly make Foreman a respectable puncher. The guy's as feather-fisted as they come.
Emanuel Steward might help salvage what some people think is a career in sudden decline. I don't see how he can hurt. I don't envision a "tough night" for anyone but Yuri Foreman. If Yuri wins, it'll be because he out-pointed a fighter who's best days are now confirmed to be behind him.
