Toss up, #1 Cotto has been beaten down in a lot of fights even in some of his wins #2 Cotto has a new trainer and I am just wondering if it's too little too late and if he can even adapt to Manny's style of training.

I'm not too happy that he has Steward in his corner. First off, I think Steward is showing signs of dementia. Secondly, his jab,jab, grab, right hand, grab some more style of traning -- epitomized by the Klitschko sisters - particularly the younger of the two -- is a snore-fest.
I'm hoping that Cotto sees between the lines and takes the best Manny has to offer while refusing to adopt the worst. We'll see.
It certainly isn't a little to late, as Cotto is still relatively young at 29. Beyond his prime? Yes. But I still think he has a lot left in the tank. I think he will dismantle Foreman and stop him by the mid-rounds. After that, Cotto has a lot of opportunities open to him. The first person on the radar screen should be Margarito. That is, if Margarito grows the gonads to sign a contract, which he will, as the fight will attract a broad audience.
Mosley will stop him and hard. I don't think Mosley is anywhere near shot, I think that he just got mentally beaten by Mayweather in that 2nd round, and physically beaten throughout the rest. I also wonder if he caught a bad punch that affected his septum at the end of that round.
Cotto on the otherhand I thought was shot in the Clottey fight and lucky to get a decision. I think Mosley will stop him, possibly in the 7th or 8th.
I'd like to see this rematch though, it would be a great co-feature to a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, not that HBO/GBP/Top Rank would ever do that.
i wouldnt mind seeing cotto-mayweather after mayweather - pacqiou, but i would love to see a cotto margarito rematch
Would have loved this sooner but would still be nice.I think Cotto hit a nice improved boxing run but man he has been tattered in last 3 big fights,even the Clottey fight.He fights in patterens and squares so much more.I dont see Foreman as an easy task and am leaning towards a bigger,fresher and more solid boxing Foreman to beat him.Dont think Cotto has the form & sharp boxing vs Mosley this time and I pick Mosley to win on power and backing him as it goes rounds.Frankly hate to see either lose another fight.Both are compliments to the sport but the sun is setting on them.
Cotto by close decision again. But its a bit of a mystery cause its not totally clear which has fallen off more. I do think Clottey would have always given Cotto hell but he clearly has fallen off some.
Shane would win, Cotto is spent after the beating of Marg and Pac. Shane lost against an amazing Floyd, no shame there.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
