    Hi

    I like Miguel Cotto.He gave Pacquiao a helluva fight and in my opinion,lost to Margaritos loaded gloves rather than to the man.

    As much as I want to see him win,I feel Foreman will be too big and too good and wil simply outbox Cotto.

    I see Foreman winning a one sided fight and possibly bringing to an end,Cotto's career.

    I think you're dead wrong.

    Even a shot Cotto takes out Foreman. Two different classes of fighters.

    I agree with you, I think that simply Foreman will outbox Cotto. The only weakness in Foreman's game is he has no power and can't really hurt anyone.:cool:

    I think Cotto will come back strong in this fight with Foreman..First of all i think it was a smart and right move to hire Manny Steward to train him,and more important,to find the right gameplan!I think Cotto might loose the first couple of rounds,but slowly he will break foreman down and win,either on points or by tko.
    And i hope he will.

    Foreman wins that fight by decision.

    Cotto by an easy UD. They really are in a different class and unless Miguel is just completely done he should win.

    The other real wild card here is the fact that Cotto was never a beast at 147 I'm sure most are wondering what he'll look like at 154

    Difficult to predict as Foreman has NEVER been in with someone of Cotto's class. I have always loved Cotto and the fights he has been involved in, but this is on paper a bad stylistic match up for him. When faced with someone who can throw fast, accurate combinations, we know it troubles him.
    At the extra poundage though, i think his chin will hold up, allow him to come forward and absorb some of Foreman's best shots, whilst dealing out punishment of his own.

    With the bit between his teeth and Steward's nous, i think Cotto will pull off a close but unanimous decision.

    Depends on how much Cotto has left in the tank, the Cotto before the Margaritto pummeling would've won against Foreman I think. Too tough, too strong... But now I don't know, after two big beatings. I give Foreman a fair chance at this moment of outboxing Cotto over 12 rounds. But his lack of power would be in favor of Cotto who only lost to fighters with power (loaded or not), so this could be in Cotto's pressure style favor. I'm already looking forward to the fight.

    That would be my preference too but it's not going to be walk in the park for him, but then again let's see what Steward did for his training.

    Jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, right cross,... X 100 (mini Klitschko :D)

    Cotto should win this one. He is really underrated in terms of his boxing skills. I think his jab and hand speed are better than Foremans. Reach will be a problem but Cotto has shown decent ring IQ and usually cuts off the ring against movers
