*Why would Mayorga v Cotto be more exciting than Margarito/Cintron/Williams/Clottey v Cotto? Those fights are also more meaningful too.

I'm sick of these gimmicky fights. Mayorga couldn't make 147 and fight effectively.
Perhaps Mayorga doen't deserve a shot at Cotto. However, this fight is being considered for a variety of reasons. First, Mayorga, with his pre-fight antics, will definitely make this fight a highly anticipated one. It will be interesting to note how the flamboyant and LOUD Mayorga will affect the calm and stoic Cotto. Will Cotto lose his cool during one of those press conferences that will surely be scheduled? In the ring, Mayorga was pretty good/strong at 147. Can he make the weight? I am sure he can for millions of dollars. Also, when has a Mayorga fight not been interesting or exciting ? Cory Spikns? That's the only one I can think of. The constant pressure Mayorga (and dare I say equal or more power than Miguel) brings to a fight will certainly test Cotto and lead to an exciting fight. I would definitely like to see this fight and if Miguel is offered a lot of money, he would, without a doubt, take it.
