    Arum's Done One Hell Of A Job Selling Us Foreman

    Has this guy ever faced a ranked opponent? Even the Cotto, that showed up against Clottey and Pacquiao, and the even further damaged Cotto that we were left with today, is probably twice as game as this guy. This is obviously a win-win for the Bobfather, but I think he's banking on Cotto to win and then get back into marketing Cotto in big money fights. I think he knows that Cotto can still bring a lot of money to the table and is throwing him a gimmie.

    Santos is not a bad fighter and Foreman had his way with him. Yuri is really a good fighter. I think he's getting overlooked.

      Don't sleep on Foreman, he has the ability to stink the place up and win.

          Miguel should win. I saw Yuri win the crown and he wasnt impressive. If Cotto cant chalk this up, its time to retire.

            I am pretty sure Foreman has decent ability and he seems to have a decent head on his shoulders (which I guess could be a minus if things get extra tough since he might do the sensable thing instead of throwing caution to th wind) but as far as technical boxing I think he will be tough to beat since a lot of guys do not have those attributes to match him.

            Arum has sold him pretty well since he is not exciting in the least but the amn can win fights.

              At one point he was, but the Santos we saw in the ring against Foreman was not the same one we saw against Antonio Margarito and Ahmed Kotiev. Did you see the shape he was in? That, and the fact that he just came off a loss, shows he wasn't the same fighter that you're referring to.
