    Khan/Paulie is a more relevant fight IMO.

    Yeah, there's a few big fights coming up, Cotto V Foreman is going to be good I feel but I think Khan V Paulie is going to be more entertaining and obviously we finally get to see if Khan can box with the world-class and then theres a good fight in the UK between Kevin Mitchell and the Australian Michael Katsidis that is going to be a WAR!

    While Cotto may be successful against Foreman since Foreman has no power, I think 154 is going to be a disadvantage for Cotto. He was never a big power guy and has always been more of a wear you down guy. I just don't see him wearing down guys like PWill, Martinez, Dzinziruk.

    I also think Foreman is a bad style matchup for him and I'm not even sure he will win that fight.

    Better upcoming action fights to look forward to:
    Macklin-Geale
    Mitchell-Katsidis
    Vazquez-Marquez
    Mares-Perez
    Soto-Karass - Martinez
    Marquez-Diaz 2
    Cloud-Johnson

    Should be a good one quick mover vs swarming power puncher. If Cotto doesnet neglect the body and goes to his punchers roots he can win. If he head hunts and trys to box the boxer he will lose

    While I love the idea of stadium shows, I think eventually the stadium itself can't just carry the card. They are going to have to up the quality of the cards.

    Just cause you take a dump in a golden toilet, doesn't mean it isn't still a turd...

    Even Campbell-Ortiz is more interesting for me. Dont see also how this fight is exceptionally relevant.

    Why wait 25 days, when in less than 5 days Khan, Paulie, Nate and Ortiz will all be fighting in the same event! Not to mention Kevin Mitchell vs Katsidis hours before that
