    Emanuel Steward: "Yuri Foreman Is More of A Concern than Paul Williams"



    Wait till the end, he says Foreman is more of a concern in terms of a challenge for Cotto or any other fighter at 154.

    Two different styles, Paul Williams is a pressure fighter who doesn't really even utilize his reach and Foreman is a slickster. Cotto already lost to a pressure fighter in Margarito who most likely cheated. Cotto has beaten slicksters in the past like a prime Paulie who wasn't the flat-footed Paulie that Khan fought. Even HBO constantly brought up the fact that Paulie was extremely flat-footed. Paulie wasn't always so flat-footed.

          You don't really believe that do you? I think Paul Williams has slipped for one reason or another, but he's still ten times better than Foreman.

            Not on skills and defense. But a fighter similar to Williams already beat Cotto, though I think he may have cheated. But Cotto still was pressured back by Margarito's pressure.

              Foreman would beat Williams if they ever fight. Foreman skills, defence and style would be too much for Williams.

                Steward was on LIITR last night and said that Foreman is a very difficult fight for Cotto, due to his ability to move all night and his skills.

                But he was surprised at how quickly Cotto was able to adapt to his (Steward's) new training methods and style.

                  Pacquiao also pressured him, beat him and bust his ****. Did he use plaster too?

                    No, because Pacquiao has power without cheating. And if you want the explanation for Cottos face swelling up bad, thats easy chump its because he already had his face beaten in by a dirty cheater. Once you get it beaten out of you lose it. How come Margacheato never beat anyone like he did to Cotto? He couldn't even do that to Cintron, Cintron quit while Cotto's face looked like the guy in your avy.
