    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.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Martinez-entertaining and always classy even when getting crapped on by the judges
    Kats- Always comes to fight, all heart
    JMM- Brilliant technician yet super exciting even at 37
    P Will- his style might not be the smartest given his size but sure makes for fun fights
    Funeka- similar to pwill he's freakisly tall for his weight yet throws a ton of punches

    Floyd (Best pure technical boxer out there)
    Manny (Best all out action fighter in the sport)
    Vitali (I consider him to be the best HW, yes even over Wlad)
    Froch (Even before his win over AA, I loved his old school attitude of fighting any Tom, Dick, and Harry out there. Just look at his resume.)
    Hasegawa (An all out exciting fighter with great speed, plus I love those wacky Japanese announcers when he fights.)

    Devon - Scoped him out since he beat Cuevas he was my fav prospect in 2007/2008 and just get's better and better.

    The 5th spot is a tie between Montiel and Adamek...
    Let's see...

    JMM
    Martinez
    Cotto
    Adamek
    Montiel

    Not much has changed for me...
