Boxing Picks Analysis: Miguel Cotto still is recognized a top-30 pound-4-pound entrant. The question is whether or not Cotto has completely recovered mentally from the beatings he has taken from Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito.

Cotto is a textbook brawler that does possess a fair amount of polished boxing skills when in boxer mode. The Miguel Cotto vs. Yuri Foreman Fight Odds have Foreman as a +180 boxing betting underdog.
Cotto uses a punishing jab to set up his excellent combinations that he delivers from both orthodox and southpaw stances. Cotto is also a very underrated defensive fighter that is well-schooled .
