Mayorga ran back down after the fight with Tito at 160? Uh, not hardly. Mayorga's natural weightclass is 147 for cryin out loud. He only took on Tito cus Don King set him up as a fall guy to Tito, and he still fought his heart out, knocking Tito down, and finally being taken knocked out, but after 8 hard rounds of WAR. The man gave it his all in that fight against probably the hardest puncher P4P of the last decade besides Mike Tyson. Mayorga then went down to 154, and won a world title before being embarassingly beaten by Oscar, but he fought pretty hard in that fight too, just not hard enuff, or smart enuff, thats for damn sure. But Mayorga never belonged at MW, and was not chased outta there, no one chases Ricardo Mayorga outta anything.
