    hey guys so i hear cotto is looking to fight foreman for the wba strap
    cool , so if he wins ,should he hang them up and go out a champ or maybe fight someone moving up from ww, i say this becouse i cant really see him beating guys like sergio martinez , paul williams ect what do you guys think?

    he's not going to beat Foreman. Stick a fork in him, he's been done.

    Foreman looked really good in his last fight, can't say that about Cotto
    Cotto needs a new trainer in my opinion, he might be stronger at 154

    Cotto should win easy. Weight is overrated somewhat, Cotto is a level above.

    I agree, people are totally underestimating foremans footwork and his ability to keep his opponent offbalance.

    Cotto by TKO late or Whopper of a UD. Foreman just isn't all that.

    Funny thing is, I was thinking Cotto wins this fight fairly easy and for his farewell fight this sets up a Cotto vs Margo for the jnr MW strap. I know Cotto said he would never give Margo another payday but Bob is extremely shrewd and imo would love to see this fight happen.

    Foreman on the other hand isnt sure if the fight will happen bt says he wants it.

    Good fight IMO. Foreman's good enough to make it interesting and it would be a good gauge of how much of the old Cotto is left.

    Does that hes a lock for comeback fighter of 2010

    I jsut know that Cotto isnt going to retire just yet like he said he will this year, if hes offered the Mayweather fight he will take it in an instant.

    A tad more competetive than Cotto/Jennings. Nothing more. I watched Foreman grow up on ESPN and Verses. He is a good "B" level slickster, and that's all. A prime and focused Santos would have beat his ass from pillar to post.

    hmm says . . .

    if he doesn't get another decent trainer backing him then I'm not giving Cotto much chance with Foreman in another title shot.. Foreman is a both underrated and overrated, but has what it takes to pull a victory over Cotto..

    If Cotto has anything left he should win this quite comfortably. The two loses he has suffered were bad beatings and for me he hasn't been the same since Margarito. If he looks unspectacular against Foreman expect Floyd to call him out.
