The only guy at 154 that he'd be seriously undersized would be against Paul Williams. Against nearly anyone else at 154, he'd have a chance. I thought Cotto fought an excellent fight. His new trainer developed a particular strategy. Steward guided Cotto to a win. Without Steward, there's a good chance Foreman wins this fight. Cotto fought a very smart fight against Foreman. A very patient fight. And he eventually found Foreman. There were lots of back and forth rounds. Foreman through almost 300 punches and Cotto threw over 300 punches. Foreman had some great work in the 3rd and 4th round and tagged Cotto flush multiple times. Then Cotto came back and showed why he is a great former champion. Now Cotto is the champion and he has the choice to grant the former champion a rematch. Would Cotto be inclined to fight Foreman again? Or will he fight Pacquiao first. I think Cotto would fare much better against Pacquiao at 154, he was drained at 144/145. Pacquiao was obviously there at the fight.

And how bout Roy Jones with the color commentary on HBO. Two months removed from a 12 round war with Bernard Hopkins. he is back in the commentary booth.
