Maybe this is old news but I was just perusing Yahoo sports and it had a Cotto vs Mayorga fight slated for July 19. What happened to Cotto vs Margarito?
Thw winner of Cotto/Gomez will face the winner of Margatito/Cintron in the summer. Mayorga said loudly that he is interested in fighting Cotto in the next available date and but Arum said that if the winner of Cintron/Margarito gets injured he will let Mayorga know that he can fight.
That whole thng turned out to be a mess...Mayorga just wants something to do until Forrest signs to fight him
I'd love to see Mayorga vs Cotto, that would be a barnburner whilst it lasted.
I really want Mayorga to win his next fight though and making it 3 out of 3 against Forrest would be simply beautiful :)
Yes, how SWEET it would be. Fuck Forrest! Viva Mayorga!Quote:

Actually at 147 i wouldnt have minded seeing forrest vs Cotto
I got to be honest I reckon Cotto would stop Mayorga in the late rounds.Quote:

Mayorga would make it one hell of a brawl though. I just think his machismo pride, his cigarettes and his lack of defense would mean Cotto would catch up with him eventually.
I'd love to be proved wrong though.
Boxing needs a champion like Mayorga, articulate, humble and gracious :p
i would way rather see cotto fight margarito than mayorga
Mayorga Cotto could potentially be a Welterweight version of Torres Cotto.
A fight like that would truely onfirm how much Cotto has grown since abandoning 140 and how much his chin has improved.
I agree with you Donny............:cool:

Call me crazy but IMO this is a bad career choice for Cotto....Sure Cotto has improved and is a hell of a fighter...Mayorga is getting old and has not had a great track record against guys like Trinidad and DLH but...Those guys are not only strong but excellent boxers..plus it was at 154/160...Mayorga is DAMN!!! dangerous at 147 and I put it in caps for that reason...he can be outboxed but hard to out slug him...Mayorga can box when he wants to....IMO Cotto has not yet become that good of a boxer to really outclass Mayorga in that catagory...and power wise..Mayorga at 147 IMO hits harder then Cotto......Not saying Mayorga will beat Cotto not saying he will lose...Just that it is a fight that Cotto does not need to take and at this point the risk is too much....Quote:

That being said, Forrest has finally risen in my estimation. I would love to see the fight happen.Quote:

If Cotto fights Mayorga at 147, Mayorga will be severely weight drained IMO. I think Cotto wins a late stoppage or decision. But this could easily be a fight where I wouldn't be shocked if I woke up on Sunday and found out that Mayorga knocked Cotto out. Mayorga might be a joke during promotion but when he's in the ring, he's capable of competing with anybody.
I agree, I think Forrest has looked very good in his last two fights, shown much better form than Mayorga has since they fought, Forrest seems to have more upside at this point with his shoulder having healed. I just don't see what Mayorga beating Vargas by close decision at 162 is supposed to mean... Doesn't tell me anything other than they are both shot.. Mayorga didn't look good I didn't think, just had a total corpse in front of him.Quote:

I heard if Margarito wins Cintron he will be a mandatory for Quintana
If Margarito wins he becomes the IBF champion. He won't be nobodies mandatoryQuote:

Mayorga vs Cotto would look good name-wise, but I do think Mayorga would be severly weight-drained even though he states he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather at 147.
Cotto should beat Gomez and I think Margarito will beat Cintron setting up Cotto vs Margarito. That would be a good one!

Classic Lampley like statement
Donnie Nietes vs Raul Garcia WBO Minimumweight Championship will be on Cotto-Mayorga undercard at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, USA on March 12, 2011.
