Don't be an idiot. Mayorga was the first to KO Andrew "six heads" Lewis and take his belt. Then he knocked out Vernon Forrest, and beat him again in the rematch, proving it was no fluke. Then he took on Spinks and fuking beat him too, but got robbed big time on the cards. He pressed the fight much much more than Jermain Taylor did and for sure deserved to keep his titles. After that he defeated the man who Spinks lost to then beat for his title at welterweight, Michelle Picarilo, and he dropped him three fukin times and whipped his a** for the WBC. Jr. MW title. In between that he went to war with Tito Trinidad and got his a** knocked out. Finally he lost to Oscar in an embarassing a** whippin. Overall I'd say he is a pretty damn good fighter losing only to the VERY best in the world, and at weight classes he did not belong in.
Yeah, I'd have to agree with Hulk. First off, I think the word "overrated" is thrown around way too much in boxing. It's easy for us fans to sit back and criticize and call boxers overrated after they've had a few defeats. But we don't look at the big picture and see what they've accomplished in their career. Mayorga may be a lot of things, but IMO he was definitely not overrated.
CC. Mayorga is STILL a bad man. He's proven to be a warrior in the past in will kick Vargas's ass. Vargas already has one foot out the door talking like this.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
