Ricardo Mayorga vs Marcos Maidana - Who would have won?

[Ron Swanson]

It's interesting because in a match of hard hitting brawlers you lean towards the harder hitting guy. But the more I consider it Maidana has him beat in many other categories.

Maidana has far better stamina. Smoking may be cool but it doesn't help athletes. Maidana fights with more diversity and follows instruction. And he has the better jab.

My initial reaction was Mayorga but I swung quickly and the more I consider it the more confidence I have in Maidana.

Get away!

Mayorga could swing hard for 12 rounds!

Welter weight Mayorga was bullet proof!

But he was slow and telegraphed everything. That's how Spinks made him look easy.

To sum the great Ricardo Mayorga up. Even though he was a promoters dream in 21 years of professional fighting he only fought 8 championship fights of which he won only 4.
