    This fight is going down June 5th in Yankee stadium. Cotto has achieved alot throughout his career. One thing he has never done is beat a reigning champion. He'll have the opportunity to do so against Formeman. I hope he does it. However, I believe he will fail. Foreman is just too big and fleet footed for Cotto. Cotto is going to be heavier and slower at 154. Expect Foreman to put on a track meet and frustrate the hell out of Cotto. Cotto will be eating leather all night and may even get stopped. How do you guys see this fight going down?

    Unfortunately, hoping doesn't win fights. Cotto's career probably ends on June 5th.

    i'm not sure. foreman is the much bigger guy, and with cotto he has taken a few beatings lately, so it's the right time for foreman, but is he good enough? i'm not sure. i think theres a lot of hype surrounding foreman, and i don't think he's good enough to live up to that hype.

    Cotto has always been good against feather fisted speed guys. He can cut off the ring very well and still can bang with the best of them. And Foreman maybe fast footed but his boxing skill was far less than impressive against Daniel Santos who also looked like crap when they fought. Foreman isn't good enough to keep Cotto off of him. This reminds me alot of what people said about Cotto when he moved up from 140 to 147 and faced Quintana. Obviously Cotto was still peaking then and had a much brighter future but I think people are discounting him way too much here. If he were facing someone like Martinez, Williams, or even Angulo I would understand the concern, but Foreman is not really good. He is a very average fighter. It's funny how most people here percieve Pac to be the best of this generation and a ATG but a lost to him means your shot and washed up. I think Cotto will look very impressive with something to prove and stop Foreman in 7-8 rounds. I hope this is a one and done tho at 154lbs. He isn't really built to beat the top guys at that weight.

    why are you such a ****ing ***** when it comes to miguel cotto? did you spin a bottle that pointed at a picture of miguel cotto to help you decide which classy fighter you wanted to throw salt on? Since I don't get it I'll just ignore this.:think

    Foreman uses his size advantage stays on the outside and gets a 12 round decision.

    Foreman by clear unanimous decision, unfortunately. Cotto's too small for 154. Foreman has a style Cotto usually does well against because he's not a pressure fighter and is strictly a pure boxer, but at this weight, Cotto won't have any footspeed and will probably lack sharpness. Foreman will do what he always does and win a decision imo, but i hope im wrong.

    The only question marks are can Foreman take a punch and how does Cotto perform at the weight. Will his corner be good. Will his power move up. Is Cotto shot
