    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.

    Yeah he's got a big test in Cotto coming up. But as of now, he's an undefeated title holder. There are bigger punchers out there, but his footwork and ring generalship put him near the top at this point. He's hard to hit and a tough guy to win rounds against. Just like Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Khan. I rate him ahead of Khan because he hasn't been knocked stopped like Khan has. Dawson is in my top 5 because he's undefeated and has good names on his resume like Adamek, Glen Johnson, and Tarver. But I don't think Dawson has been as impressive as the top 4 on my list have been recently. Dawson is taking on Jean Pascal in August, though, so that'll be a good test for him.

    1. Bernard Hopkins ( He should consider retirement now though)
    2. Timothy Bradley
    3. Miguel Cotto
    4. Juan Manuel Marquez
    5. Chad Dawson

    Other fighters that i'm not a huge fan of but i like them and feel they deserve a mention: Pacquiao, Mayweather, Williams, Katsidis, Khan, Klitschko Brothers, Mosley, Juanma Lopez, etc.

    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.
