    Steward doesn't sound that confident at all. He said positive things about Cotto, but he's already giving a lot of credit to Foreman. He is mentally prepared for a loss.

    don't count out foreman it's not like he's a feather fisted fighter. he did knock down Santos like 22 or 3 times. so he seems to have enough pop to stun cotto. should be a good match

    guys cotto isn't finished

    he lost to the best fighter in the world, people were saying he was finished after margo but did he not give pac a good fight in the beginning?

    im still going wit cotto. even no this young up n coming youth ful fighters that are really hungry usually win in this situation. but cotto always fights game opposition and the only true loss he has is vs manny who is clearly at the top of the sports best so cotto is going with a really good up n comin fighter lets see if he can get in yyuris path,. yuri wins all his fights no problem but he just out boxes his opponenets and he dont have ne power. and he hasnt fought ne one good. accept his last opponent was decent. in the undercard of cotto v pac i think . but still that dude wasnt nuttin yuri actually hurt him and wobbled him

    For two arounds until he got overwhelmed and lost his jab, yeah. But even in the fights proceeding that and after the Margo one he didn't really look the same. Now he's taken another beating and he's up a weight that he's probably going to look a little soft at. (No homo)

    Yuri is going to whoop Cotto's ass. His power won't be as effective at 154. Yuri has a good size advantage and will outbox him easily.

    You could argue that, but the damage is done regardless. I want Cotto to prove me wrong, but he is fighting an uphill battle. If he does well against Foreman he will deserve major props.

    I think Cotto is damadged goods, but I think he need to be overwhelmed. A fighter at Foreman's type of level could do this, but I don't think he has the style to do it. He's going to box and move. Cotto is still a destroyer versus this type of fighter in my estimation.

    But there are so many intangibles in this fight, making a pick is close to impossible.

    I think Foreman is going to beat the crap outta Cotto but get robbed by the judges kinda like Sturm-Oscar

    You forgot Teddy's reminder that whoever better "controls distance" in the fight will win. We need Teddy to walk through the keys to victory for a better picture.
