Foreman v.s. Cotto ?

I lke this guy Yuri and would like to see him win...maybe he's developing into a real technician type, who knows, and maybe Cotto is ripe to be taken by a guy of limited means like Foreman. It intrigues me somewhat if Foreman can carry out a successful strategy against Cotto..I'm not holding my breath here, but it should be interesting to see what happens.

 

:rofl:rofl..I resisted the temptation to be a wise ass here..I think I'd have made the thread title a little more specific.

 

I'm expecting for Cotto to put on a big performance to announce he is back, and not a shot fighter at a relatively young age.

 

Cotto by ko in 1, Foreman would need to cheat on this one in order to win, i just dont see no one at this point beating a master atg in Cotto without using plasters or peds.

 

Cottos best bet is to go back to what he was like at 140 and punch out a decision.

His scar tissue is bad now though; Foreman likes to lay the nut in.

Cotto will get cut, dissuaded, increasingly negative, and Foreman will win on points IMO, in a fight that is increasingly scrappy as it goes on.

 

Foreman looks like a pretty decent fighter, but beating a shot and out of shape Daniel Santos made Foreman look better than he actually was,i also have the feeling people are writing Cotto off too soon. Even though Foreman is bigger and Cotto moving up i still think Cotto could pull out a late stoppage. I see Foreman holding his own and making a good account of himself here but Cottos experience and Unrelenting attack starts to bust Foreman up in the mid and late rounds. Cotto Tko 10 or 11

 

Santos isnt shot, just wasnt in great shape. Foremans not a great fighter but his style is tough especially against a shorter pressure fighter.

 

Santos was shot he is an old 34 and has only had 3 fights in the last 3 years he looked beyond being in bad shape he looked like he had nothing left.

You made a good point about Cottos being a shot pressure fighter and maybe having trouble, but i just think Cotto is a class above and Foreman has never even came close to being with a fighter the caliber of Cotto. Unless Cotto has drastically faded(good Possibility) i dont see Foreman winning.

 

Santos got screwed by Don King. He was a good fighter. He was put on the shelf like all of Kings fighters and then forced into this fight when he wasnt in shape. He had to lose a ton of weight and really came into the fight with Foreman terribly weight drained.
