"I think Cotto's damaged goods,..He's a little shopworn. The fight for Foreman could be even easier than people think." -Teddy Atlas
We'll see. While I think Cotto is damaged goods, I don't think Foreman has enough to beat him right now. Cotto is still a top notch skilled fighter. Then again, if Teddys picking Foreman, Cotto has all but already won.
Here's a piece from an article about the fight; "The Puerto Rican's ferocious style of hammering body blows with slick uppercuts chopped down bigger opponents. But Atlas and others believe Cotto has taken too much punishment. He's shown shown signs of wear and tear. In July 2008, Antonio Margarito had Cotto looking to his corner for help in Round 11. In June 2009, Cotto won a close decision over Joshua Clottey that many felt demonstrated how far he had deteriorated. His "downfall" was cemented in November when a sustained assault by Manny Pacquiao left Cotto bleeding in his corner. Cotto dodged questions about the Pacquiao bout and how much it took out of him. He may not admit it, but his actions say a lot."
My heart tells me Cotto, my head says Foreman. Both of them have lied to me before. Agreeing with Teddy Atlas makes me wary...
:rofl :rofl :rofl Bet the ****ing house on Cotto! In all seriousness, Atlas also picked Mayweather and Khan to win their last fights. Soo.. Who knows. But I'm hoping he ****ing cursed this one! Go Cotto.
Same. I would love Cotto to win, but I'm not sure how much he has left and I'm not sure he should be at 154.
