Escalante has the heart of a lion, I can't believe the shots he took from Mickey Roman and still never let off the gas. I can't picture him being in a boring fight ever.

Here's my top 5 in that particular order:
1. Lucian Bute
2. Chad Dawson
3. Miguel Cotto
4. Manny Pacquiao
5. Yuriorkis Gamboa
5. Sergio Martinez

I have to include him on all my fav lists. He is a lion, but overlooked by so many.

All of these guys I feel genuinely excited at the thought that they've got a fight coming up. I actually feel that buzz watching them fight. There's a few others who do the same who I've left out, Andre Berto, Librado Andrade, Andre Dirrell, David Haye, Arthur Abraham, Yuri Gamboa, Tavoris Cloud, Celestino Caballero, JMM & Sergio Martinez. Tbh, if I did this again tomorrow one of these other names would get in there. I've probably still forgotten some people.

On the horizon:
Timothy Bradley, Marcos Maidana, Victor Ortiz, Lucian Bute, Devon Alexander, Michael Katsidis, Paul Williams, Andre Ward, David Haye, Andre Dirrell, Andrew Berto, Andre Ward, Carl Froch
Foreman? Interesting, he's a great boxer and
I fully expect his stock to rise after he schools Cotto. I just didn't expect him to make any lists yet. Good on ya.
Stop right there Killer.
My boy Cotto is not and i repeat is not getting schooled by Foreman.
Cotto is gonna cut off that ring, control the fight with his jab and beat him up. Cotto has declined mentally as a fighter since the Margarito loss but stylistically Foreman hasn't got the tools to beat Cotto. He can't beat Cotto just because he has the size advantage.
Foreman just doesn't bring to the table what Margarito and Pacquiao did which for one was a high pace and constant pressure and from the other a high pace as well but used his speed and footwork to break Cotto down.
Foreman to me is just a bigger version of Michael Jennings with abit more skill.
Come on bro, give Foreman more credit than that. He's a great pure boxer, the Jennings comparison is hardly fair. Foreman knows how to use his height and reach, I don't think he will sit down on his shots like he did against Santos, but he's got the reach, speed and footwork to box circles around Cotto, I'd put a sigi bet on it.
Maybe i'm underating him abit but there was simply nothing i seen from him that impressed me.
He showed he had good footwork and could box but otherwise i find him to be average. Maybe he somehow proves me wrong against Cotto.
Stylistically what he brings, i don't see bothering Cotto that much. He's been in with guys who use alot of movement before and he's broken them down all the same, with the jab, left hook and body work. Foreman is bigger than the other guys he broke down but he isn't faster than those guys so Cotto should have an easier time getting his shots off.
I would take a sigi bet with you but if i won, i would have no idea what i would do.
I like you too much to do anything harsh lol.
The feeling is mutual, we could do like CFH and I did just put a picture of the loser getting punched in the face. So if Cotto loses you'd put a picture of him getting clocked and if Foreman loses I put a picture of him getting decked.
How long is our bet for by the way? Not that I mind having a picture of Kelly Pavlik getting the shit kicked out of him as my sig.

I think you've paid your debt pretty sure it was just a week. I didn't want to say anything because it's a badass picture.
