    I didn't imagine he would look too bad tonight and I think I was right. His jab was beautiful in the early rounds and he was outboxing a guy, who was supposed to outbox him. He matched Foreman in every area, that was supposed to be Foreman's strength, such as boxing ability, footwork, handspeed and toughness.

    I don't know how well Cotto would have done without Steward but I see a refreshed fighter now. I'm really pleased to see Cotto looking something like he still has quite a few miles to go.

    Anyone fancy Cotto/Angulo? Cotto/Kirkland? Cotto/Martinez?

    He looked good. Guys like Angulo, PW, Dzinziruk and SM will def want to get it on with Cotto. All of these fights are dangerous for Cotto.


    He should def stay away from Kirkland and Angulo imo. Cotto is not good in slug fests against come forward types.

    I feel Cotto would hurt and stop Angulo. Very fight for Cotto and RJJ had me laughing with his shots here and there.

    I think Cotto will be competitive against Angulo. In fact, that's a hell of an action fight for as long as it lasts...Martinez would be a nightmare matchup for Cotto...

    He looked very good tonight. I was impressed. He's still him, clearly not shot and he still has all the things that made him great.

    Very good for the sport.

    Cotto is average with questionable heart. He needs to stand still to punch, I find him ugly and boring to watch. Needs to work on his right hand aswell, it's a soft slappy punch that doesn't have full extension.
