Who Was More Overhyped: Salita Or Foreman?

[Swag Hustla]

Foreman may have got more exposure due to fighting Cotto and being an aspiring rabbi, but Salita was way overhyped. At least Foreman has potential and we know he has more heart than most fighters out there. And he's already won a world title. Foreman will probably be back on HBO or on another channel soon. You probably won't see Salita anymore unless he piles up some good victories. Getting knocked out in the first round by someone like Khan won't exactly end his career. I mean look at Khan himself getting knocked out in the first and he's better now than before.

Foreman is better than Salita and actually had a chance against Cotto. Salita we will never hear of again, Foreman probably.

what chance?

Why is it when I type Salita into google it shows pictures of him on his ass?

Foreman was touted as a Sugar Ray Leonard, Miguel Cotto was the Marvin Hagler, I mean really comparing Foreman with Ray Leonard makes me sick to the stomach and detest Bob Arum and his Top Rank company for trying to take away the sheen from Ray Leonard name.

How dare they compare Ray Leonard to Boreman! Im shocked at thier audacity!

Salita. Foreman beat a legit champion in Daniel Santos.

Salita didnt beat anyone to earn his shot.

Salita.

Forman was a world champ, and I wouldnt say overhyped because boxing fans never thought much of him.

Salita on the other hand was well known because he was a *** and that one boxing weirdo that films himself and talks like hes a reporter was all about him. Thats it.

[Ryn0]

No one who knows boxing thought Salita was anything, only that eli sechback did.

I don't know how you can knock Foreman, he beat Santos and then took on a guy who has had 10x the experience at world leve that Foreman has and made a good, entertaining fight which was unfortunately ended by a knee injury which may or may not have let Cotto's left hook to the body catch him that cleanly.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Foreman, because so many people thought he would beat Cotto.

Yeah, he employs a style that can be problematic for Cotto. But it's whether or not you're a good enough exponent of that style to not get stalked and beaten up by a guy of Cotto's calibre. Foreman was way overrated in that regard. Cotto would need to have been completely spent to have lost to Foreman.


Nobody calling the fight with their right mind thought Salita could beat Khan.

As for being happy Foreman lost, not at all

I was, and still am, uber-happy that Foreman lost.

I was, and still am, uber-happy that Foreman lost.

Me aswell, I couldnt stand the way they forced Foremans religion down our throats and tried to exploit a Cotto a great champion.
