    Should Yuri Foreman Hang Up The Gloves?

    Should Yuri Foreman Hang Up The Gloves?

    With all the hype this Yuri Boreman got: The "Boxing Rabbi" , "Israels first world champion", "The Zion Lion", "Star of David" , "Kosher kid", "Bagel boy". I knew this guy was going to get knocked out, He was clearly not world class and a paper champion. But he was grossly over-hyped by everyone, Bob Arum, HBO, Elie Seckbach. He was made out to be the next Sugar Ray Leonard, That the fight between Foreman and Cotto was like Ray Leonard Vs Hagler (..Foreman being the Ray Leonard obviously!) I think we all got sick of hearing about him.

    Not only that I think Bob Arum and Foreman tried to exploit Cotto thinking he was on the slide and that he would lie down for Foreman. They got a shocker and I felt very satisfied when I saw Bob Arums face after Foreman got knocked out.

        No hes still a young fighter he just has to fix his knee and he'll be all good. He probably aint gonna be a champ again but probably a good contender.

              his knee looked pretty bad...I def think hes got a good amount of fights left...but what kinda risk is that knee going to pose from here on out? I've seen fighters careers ended for less then this...he needs his knee to be at least 85-100% cuzz thats what hes about...pure boxing...if hes got a bum knee who knows how much longer hes got...great fighter either way!

                  Atleast he didn't get knocked over by a clubfighter in one round. Just saying.

                  I agree the man was getting more hype than he deserved though. It was his first real test against a top class fighter and he was outclassed. He can still fight on though, as long as his knee holds up. He reminds me of Tony Janiro, a boxer from the 1950's with a similar style, who also had knee problems. Janiro was below the very best, but he could beat anyone else.

                    No.

                    He'll have to change the way he fights though if his mobility is gone from this knee injury.
