Thread: Who Should Mayorga fight next?

After Mayorga's career momentum swinging win over Vargas, who should he fight next? I think its down to either Forrest or Spinks rematches. I wanna see him smash Spinks, but I'd settle for Mayorga vs. Forrest III. Thoughts?

Doubt if beating Vargas was a career momentum swing, but Forrest has the title and would like to fight Mayorga again, it should be Forrest, he owns him.

I'd love to see a Mayorga 3rd fight. Personally I think Forrest is being overratted now. He got a gift against Ike Quartey, then fought the plodder of all plodders in Carlos Baldomir. Beating Piccarillo was good but he was like 50 or something.

He thinks he's back to his best and can breeze Mayorga now but I'd love to see El Matador upset the applecart once again by smashing Vernon's face in.

Hulk, don't know if you know this but Mayorga recently called out Cotto in a TV interview he did last week out in Miami.
He said something like "I wanna fight him, I wanna fight Cotto I want to show him how a real man punches".....

I've done some searches to see if he's done any interviews on sites/papers but I have found nothing so I'm assuming he was just winding up the interview. He can't make 147, does he expect Cotto to move up to 154?

Anyway.. I think Mayorga should go after Forrest and make the 3rd fight happen or I think he and Karmazin would make for a fight full of fireworks.

actually mayorga stayed in the hotel I work at and the saturday he left we asked what was gonna be next n he said he wanted to move back down to 147 where the moneys at pretty cool dude didn't talk trash at all

Margarito, that would be a war. I dont know if either is willing to make the move, but that would be a good one.

Yeh Forrest v Mayyorga III will do me

I don't know man... Something tells me IF he can make 147 he'd be struggling to make the weight. He hasn't fought at 147 since 2003 that's a while back. I just don't think he can hit 147 without sacrifysing himself too much. To me this is like ODLH wanting to fight at 147. I mean WTF for even IF you do make weight you'd walk into the ring looking like a corpse and pretty much giving up a lot.

Thats why I wonder if Hatton's body punching would be too much for a weight drained Golden Boy.

Margarito would be fun to watch

that would be a fight i'd wanna see.

Ditto. I'd LOVE to see Mayorga put Forrest on his @$$.
