I expect Cotto to start off cautious, studying Foreman while Foreman looks to land with some jabs and Cotto picks those off.
After Miguel realizes that Yuri isn't a hard hitter a few rounds in he might get more aggressive and work the body to slow down his mobile fast opponent.
Once Yuri is neutralized a bit, I think Miguel will be able to take him out late.
Cotto has a lot more experience, been through hell and back, got himself a great trainer, seems to be getting some hunger back, hits much hard then Foreman, (especially now with more weight and authority,) Cotto has 27 ko, Foreman has 8 ko. Foreman doesn't hit that hard. Miguel hits very hard. Cotto won't be discouraged so easily.
Remember, his only to losses are to a cheater and to the worlds p4p best.
Steward will help break Cotto of a lot of bad habits, and Cotto's body shots will break the lad down. Cotto will hand him his 1st lost and we will see a 4 time world champ!
A lot of people think Cotto with Steward training him is a bad idea, and think its only because he will make Cotto work on his jab. Did it ever occur that maybe Steward also knows how to negate the jab against Cotto? Its clear that is what Foreman is going to try to do is use his size and outpoint Cotto with a jab. Problem for Yuri is the only time Cotto has lost is by being chased down, Foreman, even if he were to do that doesn't have the power to keep Cotto at bay. Easy call, Cotto by KO.
I think Cotto wins since he to me is a better boxer and has the power to go along with it BUT I'm still giving Yuri a chance even though most say he has no power..i still remember him hurting Santos a couple of times and Miguel has been hurt by pillow hands like Paulie B4
