Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Breaks Down Miguel Cotto vs. Yuri Foreman

[Madvillain]

So basically all Paulie did was ask the most common sense questions:

Does Cotto have anything left
Will his power hold up at 154
Is Foreman a bad match-up

You pretty much summed it up...I think Cotto still has enough left...I think it depends on how good Foreman is...only person I know he's beat is Santos...

Cotto could get beat because he isn't very good and never was. Cotto just isn't talented.

Yuri is a very live dog. If he is a big betting underdog, I'm betting on Yuri. He also is a very nice down to earth fellow

I think Pauli Malignaggi should stop talking especially of other boxers or other people .... He should sit down & think about what's good for himself .... He's no good to others especially to other boxers .... He has nothing except to talk & talk even when no one's interested ....

I think he has more of a say then the thousands of boxing "experts" who post on here.

Man, GTFO, no one rises to the top of a division, goes toe to toe with Shane Mosley (in decline, but still solid), by being crap.

Ridiculous.

What a class act Badnewz! That's all you have, that's your best argument?! No doubt you are a frustrated wanna be that can only put a man down out of pure envy!

Now having already address the town clown.... I do see problems with this matchup. There is a reason why Arum was a viagra hardon for Yuri - an it's not because he is ***ish. Yuri present all kind of problems for Cotto.... he fight tall, had great movement, knows how to control distance and it's a natural southpaw.

Cotto needs to do something that hasn't come natural to him in his last fights... that is BOX and control the tempo and distance. If he waits for Yuri to go first, he will not be able to find Yuri with counters.... he will find himself out of range most of the time.

I'm not certain if it's gonna be a good fight... but we already know that Cotto is a warrior and give his all.

Horrible matchup for Cotto. Arum is making a mistake with this match.

Unless he's paying off Foreman to take a dive and give Cotto another title that way.


Stylistically speaking, Cotto will get outboxed and frustrated all night and should lose this fight.

Arum has to know this. It really is a bad matchup for Cotto but this is also his last opportunity to catapult himself toward one last big fight. This is it. If he can't get by Yuri Foreman then it's hello stepping-stone. There was a time when I had Cotto in my top five pound for pound rankings. It was right before he met Antonio Margarito. I haven't seen that fighter again. And I wouldn't be surprised if June 5 turns out to be a Morales-Raheem redux.

Cotto needs 2 get rid of Foreman in impressive fashion. Make a splash in the 154 pound division. Hopefully get a fight with Martinez and gets some revenge for Kelly Pavlik, the Top Rank family and Bob Arums ****** ass. I know people wanna see Sergio and Paul Williams get at it again but id rather see Cotto-Martinez and Paul Williams-Alfredo Angulo. How does those 2 fights sound???

Williams - Angulo will be interesting, but Cotto - Martinez.....Cotto will get murdered on that fight. Cotto is not the same anymore, and Martinez just murdered a guy that hits u with hammers(pavlik).....JMO
