    If Foreman is 5'11" then the size difference is the same as it was for Cotto's fight with Antonio Margarito.

    I can't wait until Foremen makes Cotto quit on his stool. Wonder what excuses the folks on ESB are going to have in store afterwards. I've been saying this all along that just because Forememn chooses to play it safe against other naturally bigger 154 pounders doesn't mean he can't ko a shot to pieces fighter who started at 140lbs.

    Cotto looks like a midget sometimes with his big head and stubby little arms

    Foreman just isn't a killer. He can hit better than his record would suggest, I think. He's just not concerned about a stoppage. He's perfectly comfortable going the distance.

    Yeah exactly. My brother in law is 5'9 on point and he towered over Cotto a good 2 inch or 2.5 inches. Cotto is really a small guy. IDK wtf he is doing fighting a big ass dude like Foreman. Foreman is being underestimated here quite brutally. :huh

    Yeah, he is. Yuri is a smart fighter. Everybody has been acting like Pac or Miguel just have to "choose" to move up and take his belt. Like they'd obviously both win easily.

    Plus, Cotto's stance gives up even more height. I've watched Foreman fight, he moves, is active and is very hard to hit. This isn't going to be straight forward at all for Cotto. Foreman UD

    Cotto's going to look lethargic and bloated imo-like he did in the fight before Judah, but worse. Foreman's height, movement/footwork, and nice straight shots will get him the win.
     
  15. It's a bad matchup from the simple point that Yuri likes to shoot the jab from the outside and Cotto leans forward in his posture of coming forward.
