I think this could be 1 heck of a fight for 2 guys on the decline of their careers. And they both play the villain roles perfectly. Thoughts?

This fight should have happened 03 right after Margarito beat 6head lewis but Don King wasnt going to let Mayorga anywhere near the killa..
I guess this fight still makes sense for several reasons. I mean where else can they go at this point..
Margarito beats Mayorgas ass anyday of the week but with his eye, u just never know... He needs to just retire. I dont want Mayorga winning via a doctor stoppage like Cotto did..
Margarito is just in a bad position right now.. It's the eye..
even if Margarito's eye wouldn't have swelled up he wasn't doing anything effective with both eyes, he wasn't cutting off the ring, he wasn't catching Cotto and he had no power (obviously it's still in CA), instead of a stoppage he would have lost by a shut out even with both good eyes, Margarito not being able to see in one eye has nothing to do with the fact that he didn't have any power, and if anything he was landing more (albeit nothing effective) in the later rounds after the eye was swollen shut, the only thing the eye is now is an excuse, lets not forget Margarito said over and over that the eye was not an issue, Margarito's doctor said that the eye was better than it was before, if it was all bullshit than the guy has no one else to blame but himself for going blind in his right eye, unless he want's to go blind, retire cause now that he's fully found out with the eye and the lack of power due to not having his loaded wraps well he really has nothing to go on, maybe should just fight some more tomato cans in Mexico or something, hell him and JCC Jr can both do it on the same card and bill it Attack of the Killer Tomato's
At this point it could actually make sense. Before the Cotto fight I would have said Margarito was def the fresher fighter and would whip Mayorga. But, now I don't know. There is no denying that against common opponents, Mosley and Cotto, Mayorga did better, aside from the 12th round
Mayorga vs. Margarito could play out like Vargas vs. Mayorga did a couple of years ago.
Ricardo Mayorga can box when he wants to and he has one punch KO power unlike Margarito, but the pressure of Margarito could still get to a shopworn El Matador.
I'd like to see it as a last hurrah for both men, but I don't think Margarito needs the money nearly as bad as Mayorga does.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
I'd love to see Mayorga rip the shit out of him leading up to the fight and then KO'ing him within it...It's definitely possible. A focused Mayorga can give you all sorts of problems.
Basically the more I'm proved right about how fucking shit Tony always was, the bigger my shit-eating grin gets.lets make it happen..it would be a fun fight at the very least
Not sure who would win, but it would be entertaining. Although they're both often viewed as "bad guys", I would be solidly rooting from Mayorga's corner to knock the shit out of Margarito. Mayorga gets under people's skin, and does a lot of trash-talking, some of it personal. But he's not a convicted cheater like Margarito. I wish they would make the fight.

and from what I see I have a bit of a stalker, hmmmm kinda feels liks Xadu all over again, case and point, Any fighter with a pulse and a decent record at a world stage will walk all over Margarito, Mayorga will swarm him and land plenty, fucking him up in the process
There aint nothing rubbish about it and your timeline if off. Mayorga lost his titles to Spinks at the end of 03 and Margarito beat 6head Lewis 2 months after.. Margarito was the WBO champ at the time and a fight Mayorga would have been perfect. Instead, he chose to fight Eric Mitchell and ended up in a big money fight with Tito.. I understand him and King were chasing the money but alot of fans were clamoring for Mayorga-Margarito..
Prime for prime it would have been amazing, much along the lines of a Gatti-Hatton type fantasy war.
If the fight happened right now I don't know who wins, Mayorga could pull it off but could he make weight![]()
Mayorga was beating Mosley until he got KO'd while Tony just got the shit kicked out of him.
