Dicked around by Don King? Mayorga has always been a worthy contender and exciting guy to watch, he should have gotten a lot more matchups like this imo. Instead he is nearly always on the shelf until King throws him in against an elite guy once every 18 months. I'd have loved to see him fight Margarito a few years back, think it could still be a good sell if they both win, much as I don't want Margarito to.
Yes Don King has fucked Mayorga over a lot, but every now and then he gets him a good fight against a lesser titlist like when Mayorga fought Michelle Piccarillo for a title.

King is good at bribing his fighters up the rankings and has done it with Mayorga before.

Mayorga has been WAY too inactive though since "losing" to Spinks.

He could have fought so much more, and as a result would have been sharper.
