Don't care.

What exactly did Cotto do to deserve a title shot against Foreman? Except, of course, getting the **** kicked out of him in his previous fight by Pac, losing to Clottey (getting the decision), beating the immortal Michael Jennings and getting demolished by Margarito...

Uncle Bob drags him out in a "title" fight in a weight he has never fought at because he knows the Cotto fans will all argue about who gets to hand Arum their money first. Nothing more.

I really don't know how Cotto can possibly lose to Foreman but I got a feeling he will.
How? IDK.

It depends on which Cotto shows up. If it's the post-Margarito Cotto that I expect it to be, Foreman boxes the **** out of him and possibly stops him. If Steward can bring back the fearless, body punching Cotto, he will win a fight similar to Hatton-Malignaggi. It should be interesting.

If Cotto can shoot the right hand down the pipe, which Steward is working on with Miguel, and successfully cut off the ring he can win. I can see him stopping him too if he can get to the body.

Yuri's going to be tough though. It's honestly hard for me to try a real break down considering the Santos fight is pretty much the extent of my knowledge on Foreman, but I see it being a tough fight for Cotto.

Foreman by decision or late stoppage

People make the issue about Yuri not being a strong puncher, but what you gotta realize is he's fighting legit 154lbers all the time, so though his punches may not be overly effective against a natural 154lb guy, you have to add in that Cotto's been taken to deep waters in 3 of his last 4 fights while losing 2 of them and barely escaping one. Unless Steward brings Cotto back to full prominence, then I think we'll see Cotto do good for the 1st few rounds, but Yuri's Boxing, movement, size, and reach are going to cause issues for Cotto.

Hopefully I'm wrong cause like I said, I like Cotto...but I think he's out of his realm here.
