My grandfather is 6'5" and is bigger, is he gonna kayo Cotto? You guys overrate the *** like none other, he isn't good at anything. What, Foreman can move around the ring, so now he's Whitaker or something? Miguel won't respect the Paulie of 154 and will blitz his ass and get him out of there, rather easily.

Also, I love the reasoning that Miguel is done because of his fight with Pacquaio. Hate to break it to you but Pac is a great fighter and does things that almost no fighter is capable of doing, certainly not Yuri Foreman.

I got all my e points that says skill and heart beat size any day. Lets ride, experts.

I'm not calling Yuri the next Ray Robinson by any means, but the dude is indeed very skilled and I've seen him fight several times here in NY. Look how many people here thought Cotto was gonna walk through Clottey (who's not know as a puncher), and he barely escaped with a win. Size IMO in this fight will matter because Yuri isn't a flatfooted 1 dimensional fighter. Yuri unlike Paul Williams actually knows how to utilize his reach to his advantage, and he'll have the biggest advantage in that dept he's ever had.

Now, to play Devil's Advocate, what if Cotto does land hard shots to the body and is able to slow Yuri down? THEN I believe Cotto's chances of winning increase heavily.

But the one thing people need to ask themselves is, what will Cotto sacrifice moving up to 154? Speed? Power? Stamina? Again, I like Cotto and the dude has always been class, but he just may be over matched here.

Foreman actually ****ing sucks compared to the other top 154 pounders. That said he should beat cotto.

damn, your grandpa's big

I think those are legitimate concerns though but those are the obvious things that get harped on.

I also don't know what to make of where Cotto is at, while I am pretty sure Foreman is in a good spot going into the biggest fight of his life.

To me that is an interesting fight though, since I don't really have a clue how that will all play out.

I'm a Cotto fanatic and Cotto hasn't looked great since he fought Michael Jennings( and Jennings sucks). He doesn't throw enough jabs, lost balance, doesn't move his head anymore.

I always said that Foreman was a coward and a running piece of **** who's nothing more than a very good amateur fighter. Cotto will probably lose, Foreman won't win. If Arum is giving ***boy a fight against Cotto there is a reason. Same thing for Pac-Clottey. Arum is smarter than Delahoya in match making.

Its pretty obvious that Foreman knows how to use his size, speed and boxing ability.

Its pretty obvious Cotto has been in some brutal fights.

Its pretty obvious Cotto is a 5 foot 6, 154 Pounder for the first time in his career.

When Foreman gets stopped will you boxing experts shut the hell up.
