    I don't think Cotto would give Margo the payday. We'll see.

    One of the guys that retired Floyd? Hmmm...

    Can't see it. Paul's 6'2" or whatever. If Foreman was too tall for Pac, I doubt he'll step in with Williams.

    While there are huge physical disadvantages for Pac, PW as a tactician and boxer is not a threat. He's just gotta deal with the height and reach. PW's head is there to be knocked off all day. Hell, if Tyson could deal with all his fights giving the other guy height and reach maybe Pac can too?

    Did you guys notice that no *****s are around tonight? They were hoping that Cotto would get destroyed at 154. Somebody actually believed cotto was already shot. LMAO

    :lol: So true! Now it's a mad dash for the "Mayweather would have beaten Cotto easy" comments.

    A champion proves his mettle when he is down. Cotto just showed everybody that he can still be great.

    ^:deal

    Honestly, he looked very good tonight. And Foreman is a pain in the ass to fight, too.

    Very happy for Cotto. He still has it.

    His movement has improved. No doubt about it. Can a shot fighter improve? NOPE.

    Totally agree. I was thinking about this during the fight.

    Mosley is shot; Cotto is not.

    Yea Cotto was able to negate Foreman's speed and movement quite well before the knee injury.

    His double jab was exceptional. He has great timing, and he was able to put that together with his movement tonight.

    Not exactly Joe Calzaghe-level stuff, but very effective and impressive.

    It's a big payday for BOTH fighters. Outside of fighting Pac or Mayweather, I don't see Cotto landing a fight that can earn him more money. We'll see how it unfolds. Arum will surely play a big role.

    Good point. However, I think he would rematch Pac before Margo. More money, more credibility.
