Thread: An Alfredo Angulo-Ricardo Mayorga fight is being discussed

its on Dan Rafael's notebook on ESPN, apparently HBO loves the fight. Gary Shaw is interested but there's no real response from Don King, apparently right now they are talking with Mayorga's manager/lawyer who's interested.

I think it would be fun. Angulo's managers are not idiots, they are staying away from boxer/movers like the plague, keeping him in exciting fights and building his name.

they are looking at Feb 09 by the way.

This could be too soon for Angulo but I have a feeling that it won't go that way. If it comes off of course.

Angulo should fight Kirkland .Mayorga is apparently good for guys looking to rebound impressively and rekindle life in career's.Angulo's future is ahead in a big way.

Mayorga looked good against Mosley and better then I think people thought he would. I'll give him a shot.

Angulo should take the WBC belt from Vernon Forrest. Mayorga just got KTFO and it wouldnt prove much for Angulo. Forrest is the man Angulo should be after because of that belt. Its only a matter of time to see Angulo take on top rank fighters, maybe even Margarito down the road.

I think Forrest would box his ears off to be honest, but it would be a good matchup if this one doesn't come off. Don't really see the need for Angulo to step it up any further than he would already be doing in fighting Mayorga next though, that's a total pick em for me even though Mayorga is coming off the KO loss.

I dont see Angulo fighting Forrest as a step up from fighting Mayorga, more like easier to get the WBC belt than fighting a dangerous Mayorga. In other words, it will be easier to beat Forrest and get the belt than risking a non-title fight with Mayorga.

I fully expect Angulo to be matched against fighters like Mayorga for the foreseeable future.

Starr.... Ooooppss! I mean Majesty.
You'll give just about any underdog a shot. Just to try and prove something.

It may not be a big step in terms of class from Mayorga to Forrest at this point, generally speaking.... However from Angulos standpoint there is a massive difference. Stylistically Mayorga is a much better opponent for him than anyone who can move well. I would consider a Forrest matchup MUCH more dangerous for Angulo, even though I think Mayorga would have a good shot to. I don't think Angulo could beat Forrest at all.

This would be a great TV fight. Hope it gets worked out.

This will be a brutal and exciting match. What do you thinks guys?

This will be a good test for Angulo also.

what weight is this fight at? I don't know the other fighter
