    I've got a feeling Foreman might win this also. I don't particularly rate him based off the Santos fight, he looked decent at best. It was more the fact Santos looked awful, Foreman didn't make him look awful he made himself look bad by taking an extended leave from boxing which gave him no sharpness.

    However, Cotto is not a 154lb fighter. His frame isn't made for that. I don't think his styles made for it either. Foreman uses a lot of movement and if Cotto isn't too sharp at this weight + the added factor of the beating he took from round 6 - 12 against Pacquiao it all adds up to a long night. Foreman also has that advantage being bigger that he could well take Cotto's punches well, and that being the case Cotto has to box 12 rounds against a big guy when he's been tiring in every recent fight.

    Honestly, I don't have time to debate with delusional Pac fans. You don't even give a **** about this topic. You only care about pushing your pro Pac agenda. Questions about Cotto's chin existed well before he fought Pacquiao.

    watch Cotto blitz the Jew for an early KO looking like a monster at 154

    fighting against world class competition and one of them against a guy that might have had loaded gloves and still it took both of these fighters over 11 rounds to stop him.. that's not having a shaky chin, a guy with a shaky chin gets knock down a knock the **** out a lot... he has fought 36 times and was stop twice that's not a big deal every fighter gets knockdown or stopped during a long career fighting top level competiton.. plus foreman has eight freaking knockouts over his career fighting tomato cans where is the power to knock cotto out is gonna come from

    Cotto does have a shaky chin. Its not glass but for a fighter of his caliber its below average.

    But i think he can get past Foreman.

    first of all have you ever boxed before, getting buzzed is nothing anybody can get buzzed no matter what kind of ching you have.. and if cotto gets dropped by foreman all im going to admit is that he's shot and done and needs to retire

    yuri isnt gonna be able to hurt cotto and i think cotto will be even stronger at 154 but its gonna be interesting and its not gonna be an easy fight i see cotto winning this one in impressive fashion

    I guess there are only 24 people on ESB who can see the writing on the wall. Cotto is done and Foremen will finish the job rather easily. On the eve of the PR parade too ... lol
