Prime Mayorga in today's WW division

[p4pking]

IMO a prime Cotto and Mayorga would have beaten a prime Mayorga probably even easier than the one they did beat up, Mayweather would easily outbox him, DLH would have easily picked him apart just as he did at 154, Trinidad would have done the same, but guys like Berto, Ortiz, Maidana, Broner, Bradley, Guerrero, etc. would have struggled or lost to him due to his power, pressure, mind games, and toughness

I assume you meant prime Cotto and Mosley in the first sentence, if so I only agree about Shane. You've got to remember Mayorga really wasn't anything like he was at WW once Trinidad beat him, and Cotto never had a reign where he wasn't vulnerable to somebody like that. Mosley is easy to call because he's just as much of a beast as Mayorga physically as well as the better fighter, but Cotto had every chance of going against a young El Matador.

I said a PRIME Cotto and Mosley, and I disagree, because IMO a prime Cotto (pre-Margacheato) was still leagues above Mayorga in terms of skill, he would have broken him down with shots to the body and head, IMO Mayorga was too open, too sloppy, and too predictable to have troubled anyone with good counter punching skills

You didn't say Mosley, thought that's what you meant just wanted to clarify. Vernon Forrest was leagues above Mayorga in terms of skill to, he had counter punching skills and a lot more power than Miguel. He also never showed any signs of being less than durable except against Mayorga. I don't know, I just see it as a really hard ask for Cotto, he could have won but would've had to box perfectly and avoid most everything coming back. Mayorga WAS a beast for a while.
