Absolutely huge respect for Yuri Foreman - plus Cotto is BACK!

Cotto is back! Yuri has my respect!! Martinez too much for Cotto!!!

 

Who made Martinez Super Man...not impossable for Cotto.

 

Cotto is not plodding one dimensional Pavlik, and poses a different array of match up problems for Martinez than the long range sloppy Williams or punk ass cry baby Cintron.

 

I think a Cotto/Martinez fight would be very interesting. I'd favor Martinez to win, but Cotto would certainly be a live underdog and it would not be shocking to me if Cotto pulled off the win.

 

Yuri's main purpose in boxing is much like Mickey Ward's; To train hard, show up to the fight, and take a major ass whopping. That is Yuri's future in boxing; Human punching bag.
Cotto; Well, that's another kettle of fish. Cotto is a real boxer who possesses real skills. Good to see Cotto coming back with this tune up type win against an obvious inferior journeyman.

 

Agreed all around.

And I'd much rather see Cotto take a chance at Martinez over a fight with Berto. If Cotto beats Berto, it'll be swept under the wrong...as people will just say Berto was all hype. A win over the reigning middleweight champ would be a pretty significant scalp.

Thing is, Arum doesn't seem to want anything to do with Martinez. At the Foreman-Cotto media workout early last week when asked about the winner facing Sergio, Arum brushed it off saying Martinez had a "stinky style." Which I found to be hilarious considering Yuri Foreman's rep prior to Saturday night.

 

Makes sense....also, I noticed Pacquiao at ringside....just wondering if he is contemplating an easy victory at 154 against Cotto.

Which I believe Cotto will starch him at that weight not being weight drained.

 

you r just being stupid,
cotto has taken way more punishment in his carrier than yuri
so STFU

 

Yuri is smart, he didn't want to continue fighting, but by continuing he gained a bigger and dumber fanbase.

 

please give this weighed drained bull**** a rest

im a cotto fan but guys like you make him look bad, he's a warrior and he made no excuses why are you?

anyways steward last night on the radio said he wants cotto to have his next fight at 147 which cotto can make comfortably.

 

Cut the bull****!

Yuri is a very likeable guy and has nothing to be ashamed of(except for the constant running) but fighters are supposed to want to fight and not quit when the going gets tough.

You are all acting like you expect fighters to quit everytime a fight doesn't go their wayatsch.

 

:huh

After rewatching Cotto-Foreman, I don't know. Seems as thoug he may have developed a little more authority and confidence. I guess I'm in the minority when I say I would like to see this rematch.


It wasn't as if he got put to sleep mercilessly. He did enough in my book to deserve a rematch.

 

Cotto can beat Martinez.
