    Yuri Foreman sucks, has always sucked, and continues to suck.

    It's time to get over it bro.

    Also Margarito was done, and I think Cotto could have beaten a non-hobbled Martinez.. Martinez was always susceptible to big shots.

    I highly doubt that Margaritos gloves were loaded vs Cotto the first time.

    He lives around my gym he’s truly knowledgeable and an awesome dude he held Cotto close because as a person Cotto was a true gentleman, I met him several times and he was humble, attentive and approachable.

    That's on Maravilla.

    Cotto was a cherry pick who had lost two of his last three fights. He was thought to be done at that point in his career and was thought to be high reward-low risk. Knee injury notwithstanding (and it's not like Maravilla was gimped up from the start like compatriot Heiland was against Charlo), Cotto was still in better form than most, including Maravilla, expected him to be that evening.

    I got Khan too. I see Ali is a poor man's version of Khan with a slightly better chin but more power.

    Never been the biggest fan of her either. But I do have to say, the platinum blonde look is stunning, at least that Cotto finally won me over.:lol:

    meh by the time cotto was hurt (from an injury he caused himself in the fight) Ali was already out boxing him. the fact cotto was punching LESS is where it seemed like cotto was doing better because he wasnt opened to being countered. if Cotto arm wasnt hurt he probably would have been hurt to the head 3 more times in that fight.
