    I only see Manny as a trainer who teaches his fighters how to punch and cut off the ring, I've never known Manny to teach or emphasize other skills....like defense. Lennox, Hearns, Klits, they are so tall that they have a natural defense just by keeping distance and using their jabs, what is Manny going to do to tighten up Cotto's defense? If you ask me, thats what Cotto needs, defensive skills.

    I guess the plan is to have him fight guys with no power, that way he wont need defense

      I'm surprised so many knowledgable posters on the board have seen so little of Foreman. Many of his fights have been televised. The most boring fighter in the sport, but he should be in and out on Cotto on way to a boring UD.

              Some of my friends are pretty familiar with his career since he's local. They tell me he's alright but he actually lost one fight where the other guy got robbed.

                    Foreman always tries to win by decision, because he says he doesn't want to KO anyone and hurt them.
                    He has some pop, but would rather box and move all day then mix it up.

                      I'm looking at his record and I'm just wondering who on the board has seen him fight or know his style well? I'm wondering is he another Paulie Malignaggi, all jab all the time, no real punching power?

                      Is it similar to Cory Spinks, a good boxer, mover, no power but clearly has two hands with he uses with good effect?

                      Is Foreman a combination puncher?

                      I know he is a bigger guy than Cotto, probably stronger, but who can break his style down and what will he do to be effective against Cotto?
                      He is much more Hector Camacho than Paulie.
