I didn't think Foreman was going to beat Cotto. Give him problems, sure, but not beat him. I had only seen like 3 or 4 of his fights and thought he'd be a good comeback fight. But can't deny the hype the kid was given, both by the fans, media and Top Rank. Fast forward a year and now Foreman is a bum just to discredit Cotto. not by you, but other, less critically thinking fans.
I was cool with the Mayorga fight for two reasons. And my post history can confirm this, first reason was because I've always been a big fan of Mayorga, so from a fan service perspective, I was down with it. I was also even more relieved since Mayorga hadn't looked this physically impressive since probably the De La Hoya fight, so you knew that Mayorga was at least coming to fight. Secondly, I was ok with the fight because Cotto was coming off a shoulder surgery and most importantly, Arum's plan all along was to get Cotto/Margarito II off the ground and the Mayorga fight at least puts someone opposite of Cotto who is bigger and stronger than Margarito, to get him ready. Cotto/Margs II was always Big Bob's plan, so why would he jeopardize that?
And Margarito beat a gatekeeper/no-hoper before the Pac fight. Margarito has the physical and mental edge over Cotto, I don't see how he's a no-hoper against Cotto. Its still a 50-50 fight at this point
