Why are people writing off Foremen & assuming Cotto will win easily?! I'm sick of it!

    I'm so tired of hearing about Miguel Cotto this and Miguel Cotto that. He's arguably the most overrated fighter in boxing today. From what I've read on here people are writing off Foremen as if he's some bum. Cotto, his fans and the PRs in attendance are going to be in for the shock of their life. Here's my honest and objective opinion on Cotto.

    Yeah he's got, or should I say HAD decent speed, and decent power, but his defense absolutely sucks, and his stamina has turned to utter ****. All he ever does is get punched to smitherines by plodders or smaller guys. His so called power came from past opponents he fought that were too eager to knock him out, therefore, they left themselves open to make a way for him to comeback with a late knockout. It was either that or him infamously going low to the nuts. I guess a win is a win, but Cotto is far from great and has been done since the Mosley fight when Shane had him on the run like a lion chasing down a gazelle in the wild. He was being outboxed by Malignaggi, went life and death with Judah, N'Dou and Torres. Was given gift decisions against Mosley and Clottey.

    Sorry, he does'nt impress me at all and he better thank God that Arum and his team kept him away from a sharp shooter like Money at 140 & 147.

    People say Jermaine Taylor needs to retire. FFS, he has more left in the tank than Cotto! Cotto quite frankly is a guy who never stepped up to win the big one. Sorry guys, but don't ever expect to see Cotto in Canasta, NY waving to crowd and giving a hall of fame induction speech.

    Well is ee it as a 50/50 fight either foreman gets his liver snatched right out of him. or he pops cotto who's confidence is not fully there and gets a clear ud.

    nope. Like I stated in the thread, it's MY opinion and the way I think. I'm just sick of how overrated Cotto is considering he hasn't achieved anything noteworthy of P4P or hall of fame worth like some posters are making him out to be.

    Name a better resume at WW.

    If anything, the Pacquiao fight showed the first time that Cotto had genuine stamina to fight for 12 rounds.

    You must have missed the 34 plodders and smaller guys he beat up.

    This happened twice out of 36 fights.

    Wow. Cliff-notes: Fractured right orbital bone, severely damaged and swollen jaw, cut above both eyes for Malignaggi.

    Jermain Taylor: Lost 4 of his last 5 fights, including 3 brutal knock outs, one of which coming from a very one-dimensional kelly pavlik, and the other to a god awful carl froch mainly on the basis that he had basically, nothing more left in the tank. Also, almost killed by Arthur Abraham.

    Miguel Cotto: Lost 2 of his last 5 fights, including 2 stoppages via accumulation to a probable cheat and the best fighter of his generation.

    Foreman is underrated. He is a very good tactital boxer. No he is not the most exciting. Cotto is more exciting and has a large fan base because of this. Everyone likes an exciting boxer but not everyone apricates a skilled boxer.

    Foreman has good skills, but zero power and his best win is against a totally shot and out of shape Daniel Santos. He also doesn't throw at a high workrate, and if he can't get Cotto's respect at all, which is very likely with his level of punching power, Cotto will come forward with nothing to fear and grind him down.

    As to Cotto being overrated, the guy is a two division champion and has faced many of the best fighters in arguably the best division(Welter), in a fairly short period of time. He was in trouble against N'Dou, Judah, and Torres at times, but hardly went life or death with any of them, and he beat the crap out of Malignaggi. The worst that can be said about his fights with Clottey and Mosley(two elite opponents) is that they could have gone either way. One of his losses is to a guy that was most likely cheating at the time, the other to the P4P #1 fighter in the sport. Cotto is not overrated.

    :patsch Typical one sided eval as you've always done.

    All you've basically said is "Cotto isn't that great". Is that supposed to be a well thought out analysis? You don't even mention THE FIGHT and what will happen. You had ANOTHER Thread basically sayng how badly Foreman will beat Cotto, not even being close...and just pretty much said the same thing. Pretty much your MO.

    Next time you get another alias, and there will be another one ****, try and make it NOT too obvious.

    Typical **** from a troll and Floyd lover. Let's bash the guy that Floyd didn't have the balls to fight. Why don't you look at Cotto's opposition compared to your boy Floyd's?
