Duran vs Mayorga at welter...

[p4pking]

Mayorga was all heart and a great fighter and like ward and Gatti they were all over-achievers that didn't quite have the talent to make it to the elite level in boxing. Duran had too much skill for mayorga.

Ok...

Mayorga was the undisputed Welter weight champion! How is that not elite

How would Duran have done against Forrest?

Mayorga doesn't get into most anyone's top ten lists for his era and n other into the top 100 so I say that keeps him out of being labeled an elite. He was a great fighter not a great boxer. His biggest asset was his heart, followed by his power. His best win arguably was against forest some will say mosley. He was no match for Duran. Duran against forest I imagine he'd have a hard time but eventually ko forest unless forest decided he needed to stay outside and run to survive.

Referring to Mosley not being instructed to a neutral corner before his last second KO? That was shady for sure, I was surprised it didn't get talked about a little more at the time. I think the way the cards went Mosley would have won a UD anyways. I do think Mayorga was up in that fight, Mosley had been pretty crap but did manage to close the show.
