He's been busted for using a diuretic before, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt unless tests show otherwise.

I wonder more about his stamina at 154, losing that weight ain't easy.

It is when he trains and trains hard.

Not sure it's like that anymore with Manny in his corner... no way the old man will let Cotto bask in the sun.

Out of all the bs mayorga has spread in the lead up to this fight. The only think i belive is when he said this is one of only five times in his career he's trained 100%. Balking at the staredown shows that cotto semi getting caught up in ricardo's mind games and antics almost worked. Now cotto could care less. Mayorga usually puts up a decent fight. But he'll get spanked. He may win one or two rounds but cotto should have no problem once he gets used to his wild punches and style.

You, unlike that girl on the toilet taking a dump in your sig, are FULL OF CRAP !!!

Mayorga is going to do more than win a round or two. For Christ Sakes Mayorga won 5 rounds against Sugar Shane Mosley. Its going to be a competitive fight. Could very well be a shoot out. Cotto is getting knocked down.

by his own corner when they're celebrating his brutal KO victory over Mayorga hahaha

Cotto would be well suited to focus souly on that body. Looks good but still cut off alot and cannot undo that lifestyle. I wonder about Mayorgas raw physicality effect on Cotto early as much as actual punches.

The only way Mayorga beats Cotto is if Cotto is shot to bits, which is a real possibility. Still, I think Cotto wins by TKO.

I love how half this forum were picking Yuri Foreman to beat Cotto yet Mayorga, oh no, he has no chance !

Very intelligent boxing fans...

This is a good competitive fight. Cotto should be favored 60-40, but no more than that.

Mayorga has got the power, the size, and the unorthodox style to beat Cotto.

For what it's worth, I picked Cotto to shit-hammer Foreman. There is one similarity between these two fights though - the outcome is predicated upon how much Cotto has left.

I think Mayorga will be able to land a couple of those wild, looping punches of his before Cotto adapts to his style, the question - in my mind - is will Cotto be able to withstand them while breaking Mayorga down.

A near-prime Cotto would just fucking mangle Mayorga though IMO.

A prime Cotto? Which one is that? The one that got wobbled and stunned at light welter or the one that got beat up and quit at welter? Or maybe this one. The one that wan a title when his opponents leg gave way?

Mayorga on the other hand. He beat the pound for pound best fighter in the world, absolutely walked through him. The same fighter he beat was the only man to have Shane on the verge of being stopped! Mayorga can actually say he has beaten a top pound for pound fighter and has been the best in his weight division. Cotto can't say the same about himself and if they did fight in their respective primes it would be Mayorga who would splatter Cotto. In fact the 38 year old version is still going to do it and then you'd see what he would have done in his prime

I have no idea why this fight is making the Cotto fans froth at the mouth so much. It's been like that in each of the threads I have read. You mention the word Mayorga and suddenly posters are infected with rabies. A quite peculiar phenomenon.The hate for anyone that supports Mayorga is almost as bad as the stuff Mayorga says to hype his fights!

I totally agree with the sentiments espoused by Hulk, Mayorga is a very live underdog and though I am making no bold proclamations, I think Mayorga is going to put up a very valid showing. It will be wonderful to see him pull off the upset at 36/37. If not then at least he'll go down fighting. He always comes to fight and you can ask for no more than that really.
