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.
He lost to Spinks and lost to Oscar and lost to Tito.. Best fight was beating Six Heads, but other than that his fights have not been really great wins. Vernon was a good style matchup where Vernon stands straight up and is vulnerable to the wild punches of Mayorga. Vernon had to back up to avoid the punches and couldn't get his own offensive going stylewise. Mayorga is another overrated guy with an exciting style and the fans love his style. That is all you can say, but Vargas can beat him if he gets in shape. Mayorga is no big deal. There was a guy in the 80s like Mayorga and his name was Juan Roldan. But Roldan hit harder than Mayorga and Roldan fought better guys and lost all of the chances he had to win a title. But those were the days when the champs were good like Hagler,Hearns,Nunn. Nowadays Roldan would have been a champion.
