Is it all over for angel, surely there would be no way back for him ever being able to compete at the highest level again?

I agree. Cotto can't afford to lose this fight. I think he should've stayed in welter and fought a name instead of move up.
Maybe.
If he loses I do think he should probably retire, but I think he will hurt Foreman and get the job done.
If he loses then he will go back to 147 for one more fight to see if he still has it. Because im sure weight will be used as a reason, I think it comes down to what Stewart has done with his style and if he can bully Foreman,

I think this is a good pairing Cotto and Steward....Manny has worked magic late on in a couple fighters careers De la Hoya, Holyfield, Wladimir.

Yuri has quick hands and all but 0 power and Miguel is still a big powerful guy. I think Miguel will really look good tonight.Quote:

There's a few things to take into consideration before saying if he loses it's over.
The fashion in which he loses & his overall performance.
He is fighting at a new weight, he is fighting the bigger man.
Losing at 154 doesnt mean it's over he can still make 147.
Which is why I've been saying since he lost to Margarito that he should try 154 and try and catch a 3rd title. I actually said he should fight Foreman as a step up fight... Foreman not a champ then.
Foreman's a good boxer but has a lot of flaws. Even with the size advantage if Cotto adds pressure to Foreman I don't think Foreman will be able to handle it. I think he folds under Cottos pressure.
Foreman doesn't have the greatest chin either does he?
When has he been hurt?Quote:

I don't know, I was asking.....I don't think he was very comfortable fighting Santos. I'm not certain if Foreman's 1 punch at a time ways will bother Cotto too much.Quote:

Foreman was unloading combinations and by the end of the fight he was loading power shots (well for him power shots) up even. Admittedly Foreman has Malignaggi-esque power, but I've never seen his chin let him down at all. Typically he is completely dominant in his matches, the only time that he was in a close fight that I've seen as a pro was against Tsurken after he got nailed with at nasty head butt, and even then he closed strong. Come to think of it, I can't remember him ever even getting rattled besides that, and I've never seen him get knocked down.Quote:

I agree with CutMeMick, if Cotto loses, it depends on how he loses.
Things really have changed, where fighters are considered washed up after 2 losses. I know there are unique circumstances in Cotto's case...
Even looking at Cotto verse Pac, he was doing well before he got caught, and I can't help but wonder how much better Cotto would have done with a proper corner/trainer?
