    Cotto can't compete with a prime Mayorga..
    name one fighter at 147 who blasted out Cotto before the Plastergate incident, Forrest fought a dumb ass fight with Mayorga twice, and Spinks showed you don't have to have power to outbox Mayorga, and it's not like Spinks was Mayweather when it comes to defense, one thing that neither guy would do is work the body, something Miguel did plenty early on at 147 and obviously at 140, and don't see how Mayorga would put on a Torres like performance when even Ricardo Torres had more boxing ability than Mayorga in terms of being able to throw a straight punch

    Ricardo Mayorga was durable, but he was way too inconsistent to ever be dubbed as a sure thing, Lewis IMO was worse than the bunch we have at WW today, so I'm pretty confident in saying that any of the following would have handled him

    Mayweather, Cotto, Pacquiao, Mosley, Trinidad, DLH, Vargas (at 154 pre DLH), etc.

    as for most of today's ww, then yea Mayorga would have a shot against most of them besides Floyd probably
    Zab judah. Cotto was on his way out after eating a vicious uppercut until he saved himself by punishing zab's nuts. He cheated to buy time and it worked but if it wasnt for that, cotto would have got blasted out.

    And lets get this cleared about spinks. He did not outbox mayorga and he sure as hell didnt win thatk fight. The referee beat mayorga as he deducted points unfairly. Leading up to the bout, mayorga had made many tasteless comments which turned him into a villain and it was obvious everyone was against him. The ref did not treat him fairly plain and simple . Theres a difference between running and outboxing and what spinks did was straight up running and holding on for dear life like a bitch.

    Performance like that should never earn somebody an undisputed title.

    Agreed, no way in hell Spinks won that fight.
