    He didn't fight scared, he fought like Foreman always fights. Foreman is a constant mover. That's why I didn't think Cotto would catch him. He fought like himself, it's his ****ing style. Jesus. Was Camacho scared too?

    He didn't fight scared at all. He was wary in the first couple rounds...but even then, thats how he boxes...he uses a great deal of movement in all his bouts.

    He was moving on his toes like he always does; his face looked to reveal some self-doubt after the first round or two after eating lots of jabs, but he never fought scared and planted himself and fired when his leg was gone like a true fighter.

    I sorta felt sorry for Foreman, he had to back off everytime he got hit by a Cotto powershot. Every friggen time, he needed 3-4 seconds to recover. Foreman had balls though even while scared, tentative, or respectful of Cotto's power (or insert thesaurus for synonym of scared here.)

    I like Foreman, he's a good guy..................to beat Cotto, you can't respect his power or he will eat you up!!! Yuri was scared, and Cotto's confidence went through the roof!!!!!!!

    Scared may be the wrong word


    lets say he didnt fight with bravery or bravado until the injury until then he was strategic and calm and passive

    :think................. Yey maybe you could make a case for it post Rosario.






































    Well maybe not Camacho showed a lot of huevos in his losses to Chavez,Odlh,Tito,but you have to admit he tamed down after Rosario. Even Camacho pretty much admitted that in a KO Magazine interview.
