    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.
    But Diaz is educated and has the Forrest Gump talk thing going for him. Yuri is not being promoted for being a great Champ he is getting promoted for being a ***ish Rabbi.

          LOL what a moronic post. Fighting Miguel in New York is pretty much Foreman winning the lottery. Honestly, Foreman doesn't deserve to fight in such a high profile fight. Berto, Williams, Martinez and a few others are much more deserving. This is a tune up fight so that's why Foreman gets it. Not because he earned it. LOL at paper belts meaning something.

              Because of what I said. It's a tune up fight because he suffered a bad loss to the number 1 fighter in the world. Foreman doesn't deserve this fight but lucked out because he is a tune up fighter for world class boxers. Foreman would never even sniff a HBO BAD card right now, let alone HBO WCB.

                Hard-fought meaning he had to work hard to get it. I know it's the trend around here to say "Oh he took Kats to school", but I thought it was a good ****fest with both having their moments. Diaz won by 116-112 at the most, which isn't a huge margin.

                  Oh wait? Foreman vs Cotto has been sign since, when? Oh wait, didnt Williams just Fought Cintron, Didnt Just Martinez fought Pavlik and Berto Quintana?


                  STFU ******, Cotto has fought nothing but tough comp since 2005 and a fight with Foreman is just a comeback fight.
