I want Cotto to win. I think that Cotto has been through to many wars, whereas Foreman is fresh, young, and versatile. Foreman can box. He has decent footwork, a solid jab, and size going for him. Therefore, he is the naturally bigger man, which can, or cannot affect the way Cotto fights. Despite being build as a huge WW in the lead up to the Pac fight Cotto is a small WW. Yet he is moving up in weight in a division where fighters are bigger, and stronger.
Foreman won't bring the type of pressure that Pac, and Margarito brought to Cotto, but he will definetly be hard to break down. Cotto will have to use his legs for the whole 12th rounds, so that he can catch up to Foreman and systematically break him down. He has to utilize his jab, and natural body punch ability. He must break Foreman down to the body, and slow him down. In order to do this he has to catch Foreman, whom will be on the move the whole fight behind his long rangy jab. It is an intriguing fight, and I can't really make a prediction, as I don't know how Cotto will look, or how much he has left.
He has taken some punishment in his last couple of fights. In my opinion Cotto needs to take on lesser opposition, gain confidence back, and give his body a chance to recover from those gruesome wars that he has being in. But that's not Cotto..he is a warrior, and he doesn't want to fight unless he fights the best. That is why I am a Cotto fan
