    I go Cotto, Hope he does good....
    That said, YF might be too much for Miguel @ 154lbs.
    (Good thing he's not a hard puncher)

    I hope I'm wrong but my pick is Foreman by mid-round TKO. The new weight is wrong for Cotto in my opinion but as usual he moves up and fights a champion straight away.

    Foreman cant punch although hes the bigger man there is no way he knocks out Cotto.

    Think of all the scrubs Foreman couldnt ko but hes gonna knock out Cotto?

    I think Cotto should win this fight but theres questions to be answer though? Would the extra weight hurt him? Has he recover from the lost from Pacquiao ? Is his stamina going to be an issue in this fight ?

    Even though Cotto opponent doesn't present any danger since he is not a knockout artist or has the speed of Pacquiao the only thing that may give him problems is Yuri is always moving. So I can see Yuri just boxing on the outside and stay moving for 12 rounds for a UD but if Cotto is manage to trap him and land some good body shot then its all over for Yuri !!!!!

    i pick yuri for three reasons
    a) the weight- miguel is small for a modern welterweight now he's moving up against a guy whose bigger stronger rangier. I don't think he'll carry the weight well his footwork will be even more plodding and foreman can take advantage.
    b) i don't think steward is the right trainer for miguel. He used to be a great trainer but lately outside the klitschkos he hasn't impressed me. His greatest fighters have always been the long rangy guys with the good left jabs powerful right hands. If he tries to impose that on miguel it won't work. Taylor regressed under steward
    c) styles- i see yuri getting on his toes and frustrating cotto with a lot of movement and distance.
    I like Yuri by close but clear UD

    I think Foreman wins a UD. He is better than many give him credit and Cotto has no business at 154. I fully expect Foreman to win fighting at distance with his jab. Of Cotyo wins, it'll be an unpopular gift decision. I hope Cotto proves me wrong, but this seems like a bad machup for Miguel.

    Only person to have outboxed Cotto is Pac Man... Cotto was boxing the ears off Margarito. Miguel is seriously under rated when it comes to his boxing skills... he outboxed quintana (who is good), Mosley (who is an ATG), and Zab Judah (who is ****)

    Cotto will take this one for me... but i have only seen foreman once so he is some what of an unknown entity for me

    I'm saying Foreman by UD.

    The weight, height advantage, post Margo and Pac, etc. I just can't see Cotto being able to give a tall, slick boxer like Foreman much trouble at this point.

    Hope I'm wrong.

    Cotto will steamroll through this boy. Foreman isn't gritty enough, he'll be stopped before the 8th.

    I have every confidence in Cotto @ 154. He's normally heavier than that come fight time anyway. I'll be rooting for him to take the title away from Foreman. I know Foreman is a light puncher but my concern w/ Cotto is the same as it was before. He cuts easy. Still, I'll be cheering for MC.
