Canelo - Mayorga ??

[armyash]

I thought Mayorga had called it a day.

A few years ago this would have been a good war but don't see Mayorga being able to do much against Canelo now. He might get lucky and catch Canelo then jump on him and force the ref to jump in but it's very unlikely.

Here's someone's take on who should be the next opponent for Canelo, who according to the author, has "feasted on smaller and older men".

Ricardo Mayorga needs to figure out if he's retired or not and if he's not he needs to fight more often, because sitting around and waiting for someone to call you out so you can get your ass beat isn't a great way to make money.

This guy's even rougher on Canelo, saying out loud what some of us already think..... that Canelo hasn't fought any worthy challengers, and should be ashamed if he seriously considers fighting the over-the-hill Mayorga. Not that I wouldn't want Mayorga to KTFO him with a lucky shot, but that's the only way he would win. I hope they're not serious.

With the numerous available options, Mayorga is a poor choice. Seriously, there are at least four boxers that are preferable.

Unfortunately I agree with your assessment. Mayorga is faded and has been far too inactive as Lyle said. He gets no tune up bouts in the last 7 years outside of the Eric Mitchell and Michael Walker fights.

As Titofan posted Gabriel Rosado would be an excellent choice as he is on a roll and has really improved since his 2 round TKO loss to Angulo a few years ago.

Mayorga would probably sell more tickets than any other available opponent and that means he is near the top of the list.

However, I'll be a lil surprised if Mayorga gets the shot.
