Mayorga vs. Rubio

[ross]

Rubio is standing up to big midleweights punches and is still firimg back. He has good stamina. Mayirga is too small for middle weight.

A K9 fight is winable for him I deffinitely agree on that but only after a few rounds under his belt.

Its so frustrating to watch such an entertaining fighter being fed to the lions everytime. Hes never given the opportunity to go in to a big fight after a period of activity and thats Kings fault not Mayorgas! He could have bulked up a few undercards by now keeping fit and sharp. Hes still a big name but a big name with a few wins will attract a big audience. He could have even been a viable Mayweather, Pacquiao oppoent, even now! Hopefully he wins, if it happens. Chavez would be the next fight and he is massive for a middleweight and takes a good middleweights shot to boot. Its just ridiculous to use Mayorga as an opponent there.

Mayorga will get beat, Rubio is just too big and strong for Mayorga.

I agree. The only tune ups Mayorga has had in the last 7 YEARS were Eric Mitchell, and Michael Walker. Everyone else has been either a former champ or a fucking hall of famer superstar.

Also, I'm surprised people, yes Rubio is bigger and has better form, but he's kind of a big reluctant pussy too...

Mayorga could outbox him and outwork him as he has done before with the aforementioned tune ups. Mayorga at least has SPEED and tenacity on Rubio, in addition to being undersized, ring rust, old age, and being KO'd too many times

Mayorga only losses to the big names, well, and Cory Spinks. I don't see all that Rubio has to gain in this one but think he outclasses Mayorga. Give me Mayorga and Kirkland or Williams now we're talking Sloppy damage and carnage by the truck load.

I just wish Mayorga would fight

Thos has nothing to do with Rubio. This is King and Arum working together again and creating a name opponent for Chavez by Mayorga beating Rubio.

Mayorga needs a soft fight first, Rubio is too big for Mayorga to jump in after a year out and at his stage of career. Hopkins can do it but he looks after himself between fights.

Although after saying that, I think Hulk could be right. As long as Mayorga trains hard and comes in fit he stands a good chance. Maybe Chavez made Rubio look a bit stronger than he is, hes been stopped a few times before. That Michael Walker was a strong fully fledged middle who can punch and Mayorga took his shots and eventually beat him up!

For sure. But, to be fair despite his cool nickname "The midnight stalker", Walker is a chronic loser to prospects and good fighters. He's lost like 6 straight or something

And Mayorga did thumb him in the eye then go ape shit on him.

[TitoFan]

Mayorga's definitely on his way out. But I'd love to see him beat Rubio... light up a cigarette at the post-fight interview.... and call out Margarito, calling him a pussy and going all "Clubber Lang" on him. The pre-fight buildups alone would be worth the money. No harm in dreaming, eh?
