    I see a schooling, EG. Foreman makes it simple.


    Am also happy to be wrong :good



    Cotto looked good at the weight though, better than expected.


    Dont think there filling out will make much diff.

    96-93 X2 was very generous towards Greene there.

    This has been what i have been thinking, the past few Cotto fights he blows out his hoop after 6 and against a quick footed guy like Foreman it could go wrong

    that was a horrible fight, no way was it deserving of a co-main event status. Hope the main event is better

    Cotto's form just seems to deteriorate since losing to Margarito. Against Jennings it didn't matter, because Jennings is a domestic level guy who had zero chance. But against Clottey and Pacquaio, the problem was that he started rooting himself to the spot and eating shots, throwing punches with poor form and awful two punch combinations that leave him open to uppercuts.

    But, Foreman is nothing special and doesn't bring the speed of Clottey, the dynamism and volume of Pac or the relentless aggression of Margarito. So, I don't think it'll be an issue unless Foreman lands something seriously hard and Cotto goes into back-pedal mode.

    Also, I think his lack of a trainer to keep him focused has been the main issue. That stress and strain wears him out. I think his stamina's more or less the same as always.
