    Cotto is one of my favorite fighters. The guy is as humble as they come and a true gentlemen. Foreman showed a lot of heart fighting on with one good leg. Both guys are class acts.
    i had Cotto ahead 6 to 1 (at most 5 to 2) going into the 7th, and the way he was pacing himself no way he was gonna tire out, IMO the Cotto that fought last night would have taken Pacquiao to the limits, his style and Steward have meshed well and IMO it can only get better
    I thought he looked very decent, but I wouldn't go that far. Manny Pac and Yuri Foreman are two very different beasts. Foreman isn't an elite level fighter like Manny Pacquiao. Manny has proven himself fight in fight out in the past couple of years. He would have busted up Foreman himself easily enough.

    While you're right in that Manny is no Yuri, IMO it's also true that Cotto came out with totally the wrong fight plan (or worse... NO fight plan) for Manny. He had practically no trainer, no one to tell him what he was doing wrong, no one to be the boss and say: "We're going to do things MY way." Joe Santiago was a non-entity. Even so, Cotto managed to snap Pacquiao's head back in the first couple of rounds with his excellent jab. But then he went "macho" on Manny, and paid the price. We all know that Manny can throw 5 punches in the time it takes the normal fighter to throw a couple.

    No, I'm not saying that Cotto would've DEFINITELY beaten Pacquiao with Emanuel in his corner. But the likelihood would've been there. And I'm a huge Manny fan also... but I just feel Cotto has the physical tools and skills to beat him at 147 or higher.

    Foreman is no Pacquiao, but the Cotto that fought Pacquiao was controlling the action early on, until he tried to impose himself, so if he would have fought as he did last night and used his natural counter punching ability he would have fared a lot better than he did on the night of the actual fight, a few more fights with Steward in his corner and IMO Cotto's career might be taking a new turn for the better

    IF Floyd vs. Pac wont be happening this year, can Pacquiao go for a rematch with Cotto for 8th weight div title (154lbs )without a weight drain? It is possible guys or just fight Margarito? still my 1st choice would be Floyd vs. Pac

    Oh by the way props to Cotto for the win.

    also with Yuri Foreman this guy wont stop i know hes really hurt on that knee injury jeez... that's the kind fighters we need today.

    congrats to this great latino warrior, miguel angel cotto! i thought he was done but he sure as hell proved me wrong. just goes to show how much difference and important a great trainer makes. i think cotto beats pacquiao at 154 because one, he looks very strong at that weight, he's vastly improved and he won't have to fight at a catch weight. but knowing roach and pacquiao, they are going to want an advantage. hope cotto and steward won't fall for this garbage anymore.

    Agreed. I want to see them together against two more solid opponents and then see where they are at. He might well improve a lot, I hope so.
