Cotto fighting at 154 is a terrible idea. He should stay at 147 or retire.

100% agreed.

I think Foreman will win a UD over Cotto.

It's just another way of Arum maximizing his "product" as he knows this one is nearing the end.

 

I second that. And even more a tall very fast and mobile guy who is on a roll and undefeated is even worse. I also couldn't see cotto beating
martinez or dzindziruk who are faster and as good a boxer as himself but bigger.​

 

Im not sure i agree,

I think Cotto UD's Foreman, although he lost a brutal fight to Pacquiao last time out i think he will want to bounce back and win it for his dad, i think he might be a bit of an animal in this fight and he is levels above Foreman imo

 

i think he looks bad in this fight...he hasn't had stopping power in most of his last fights at 147, and moving up won't help...and foreman isn't anything special, but he can box

 

Cotto should get an easy nice tuneup, win a title off that IBF guy noone knows, and then unify with Berto. @ 147.

Foreman is a soft touch at 154 and I think Cotto can take him. Won't be easy though since he's small for the weight.

 

He tried to bang with the toughest dudes out there, Margarito with a granite chin throwing over 100 punches a round and Pacquiao even faster and more active than Margarito with a great chin himself. What the hell is Foreman going to do to stop Cotto from walking him down? I agree Cotto is small for 154 but if you can't hurt him, he will not respect you. Cotto by tko/ko

 

Not a damned thing wrong with that kirk, and add to that one of the most humble selfless fighters we've had the pleasure of watching in the last 20 years.

 

Bob Arum is not going to allow him to fight anybody dangerous at 154. He will put him in with Foreman. He will win the water downed title, and he will get a shot at say a coming back De La Hoya, or a rematch against Margarito and Mosley. Arum knows what he is doing. The problem with Cotto is he become uncoachable. Fires his cornerman, his uncle, hires his buddy who doesn't help him at all. It will lead to more debacles in big fights.

 

I actually like the idea of Miguel Cotto moving up to 154lbs and taking on Yuri Foreman. Let's not forget what the general perceptions were prior to his fight with Santos, Yuri was seen as a little bit of a joke by a good amount of people. He certainly has skills, and he did a brilliant job against a less than stellar version of Santos, but I think he has his hands full against Miguel Cotto, who is both talented and experienced.

Miguel Cotto has tasted life at the top of the tree in Boxing. He's now had two deal with a couple of defeats, and the realisation that he is not, in any way shape or form, the best fighter at Welterweight. Boxing however has way outs, and I think for him to move up and fight a much less talented fighter than Pacquiao, a much less destructive puncher than Margarito, is just what Miguel needs right now. He hasn't got many fights left, why not establish himself as a three weight world champion against a credible opponent?

...It all boils down to how you view Yuri Foreman and Cotto's chances of beating him. ...I think Cotto can beat Foreman. He has no chance against Williams or Martinez, but Foreman is there for the taking in my judgment.

 

I thought Yuri looked pretty terrible against Santos even though he won. Santos whom I used to rate looked absolute crap.

But Cotto at 154? If Cotto had a better chin, I would be more confident. But how will he get inside on Foreman? This is an intriguing style matchup and I think will make for a good fight.

A comebacking delahoya? Cotto is uncoachable?
