Official Cotto VS Foreman POLL and discussion thread!

[killersheep]

I think Foreman's reach and footspeed win the day for him. Cotto is going to have a hard time getting to that body at all. I like Cotto and I think he is one of generation's best boxer/punchers, but all of these tough fights have come at a cost to him, Foreman's handspeed will undoubtedly open some cuts in bad places. If at any point Cotto has to retreat and start dancing on the ropes he's done.

I fully admit Cotto could catch Foreman and put a whoopin on him, playing it out in my head though I see Foreman boxing circles around him. Cotto will probably have the judges favor which is why I went with SD. I think it will be a pretty clear 116-112, 117-111 card for Foreman in reality.

Good call Sheep, but Cotto could knock Foreman the f-ck out though as you said. I could see that happening too. Also, Foreman bounces around a lot, which can be timed.

The crowd probably will be very pro-Cotto because the fight is happening on the eve of the Puerto Rican day parade in NYC. Fat Joe has ringside seats! Cotto has fought on many big stages. Foreman hasn't. Did you know Foreman was a pretty decorated amateur in NY? Here he is losing to Luis Collazo in the Golden Gloves in 2000 or something:



It seems like Foreman is well-liked by boxers or at least Edison Miranda:
