Why the HECK is Mayorga being considered an opponent for Cotto?

I'm of the opinion that you gotta earn your way to the top fights. And you have to be even-handed. In other words, it has to apply the same for everybody. While a Cotto-Mayorga fight would no doubt be exciting stuff, I'd have to agree with those that question what has Mayorga done lately to merit a shot at Cotto.

That's a crazy fight, Mayorga is on a high after beating Vargas, he holds two wins over the current number junior middleweight in the world and his fight with De La Hoya took over 900,000 buys.

Commercially his devlish wild man persona draws crowds and PPV's and he has a fight style that guarantees excitement in every fight.

I'd FUCKING LOVE this fight to happen!

Agree totally. Plus I think Mayorga has a great puncher's chance of KO'n Cotto. Big Time.

I actually agree. I think this will test cottos chin, the first punchers hes faced at welterweight.

Don't think Mayorga can get down to 147 anyhow. But he could with the help of some supplements and what not. IF there is mucho dinero involved, Mayorga's weightclass shifts from Pacqauio to Tyson.
