Official Cotto VS Foreman POLL and discussion thread!

[Jesse James]

Me thinks Cotto will win by stoppage. He's the better fighter. Too much is being made of Cotto's past defeats. The fight with Manny was very competitive until he got caught in the 4th round. Yuri's a good fighter, but he ain't Manny. Not even close.

Cotto has this in the bag imo.

Foreman I think is being overrated. He's definitely a good lateral mover for sure but the only reason he does that is because he isn't consistent with his punches for 12 rounds. He's like a slower yet more technically sound Sergio Martinez, only thing is he's not as flashy either and Cotto is going to put the pressure on him for 3 minutes of every round. If he can move forward behind the jab, show he still has quick feet and can instinctively cut off the ring, Foreman is inviting to combinations and trading. It's a better style matchup then some might think. When they exchange, Cotto's shots will be louder and carry more force then Foreman's.

Cotto isn't done, this whole not making 147 thing will be good for him.

You have to go with Cotto here, unless his legs are shot and he's totally done. Foreman can't hit, and we don't know if he can take a punch since he's been fed a lot of D to C+ fighters.

Could be an interesting and short fight if Cotto has the legs to catch up with him. He should be able to walk through his punches, so my gut feel is a 4th round stoppage of the Israeli.

Stuck money on a Cotto win between rounds 7-9 and 10-12. £10 on each.

I think Cotto will wear down Yuri....I like both fighters, but Miguel is tough, he's strong, and I don't think Miguel is that far gone or Yuri has the skill set to really capitalize on Miguel's faults

Cotto by stoppage.

Miguel Cotto is the better fighter in every aspect.

Foreman won't be able to keep him off of him.
