    Does Miguel Cotto deserve a shot at Yuri Foreman?

    Look at his last 4 fights

    4. Antonio Margarito (l)

    Got beat down and demolished until the corner threw in the towel.

    3. Michael Jennings (w)

    I'ts Michael Jennings

    2. Joshua Clottey (w)

    Some say Clottey got jobbed by the judges in this fight, at least it was a very close fight

    1. Manny Pacquiao (l)

    one of the most one sided fights in the history of boxing


    Cotto could easily be 1-3 in his last 4 fights, he hasn't looked good since fighting Mosley 3 years ago.

    I know he has fought good fighters, but still he lost to most of them.

    so how does he go up in weight , coming off a bad loss and get a title shot right away?

      Being puerto rican instantly gives him big money fights.

        How about willing to fight the best all the time and not *****ing out. Cotto is a warrior, if he was like other fighters in this sport he could he kept his 0 if he took the easy road. If Cotto wins, watch him fight someone like Martinez or Pacquiao rematch.

            He's as deserving as Juan Diaz getting another shot against Marquez, when his last 5 fights went like this...

            1. Got blown out and busted up by Campbell.

            2. Earned a hard-fought decision over Katsidis.

            3. Got KO'ed by Marquez whilst doing well.

            4. Struggled against Malignaggi and got lucky with a razor-thin decision and bad judging.

            5. Got clowned out by Malignaggi.

            Same thing.

              Your right The *** Rabbi deserves the 154 BS Belt because he beat a washed up inactive overweight Bum Santos. Foreman deserves MAyweather and Pac money. Hell THe *** Rabbi deserves Mayweather $ cuz he is the draw in Yankee Stadium. Imagine how many Rabbi's will show up Ringside. Imagine all the Cheap seats being sold to his ***ish followers. Cotto doesn't have fans and the Puerto Rican fan base hasn't supported him before the Puerto Rico parade in numbers.

              Here is the debate

              1. Yuri > Miguel in Fan Base
              2. Yuri > Miguel in Credibility
              3. Yuri > Miguel in Opposition
              4. Yuri > Miguel in Promoters ( Top Rank promotes both but allows cheaters vs Miguel and supports them)
              5. Yuri > Miguel he is the champion.


              I hope Yuri gets KO in the 1st round so I don't see this Hypejob again.

              WAR COTTO

                  Cotto still has star power in the fight is in NY where both fighters are from and they will earn the most money there. To say that the Pac fight was one of the most one sided fights in history is not a good statement.
