Mayorga was a an undisputed, unified champ and beat the best pound for pound fighter in the world. If he can string a few wi s together he still has a name and can still sell a fight.

The Klitschko's had to "dig up opponents" because nobody wanted to have to fight them. Povetkin was #1 contender how long? Wlad fights often because he's a professional boxer it is his occupation.

Ricardo Mayorga, amusing as he might be has not been a solid fighter recently. He's been a part timer, much like Haye and he's flirted with MMA....those are signs of someone not taking the sport seriously and he's just looking for a payday.
rahman was also wlads opponent because povetkin pulled out of that fight..

anyway I hope to see mayorga back on a big stage just for his press conference nonsense, he's well past it and overweight but he can be quite amusing... although the funniest part for me is he gets some middle aged to older person translating for him :S
